RUN DETAILS :: CLUB/TEAM CHALLENGE
2011 fastest team and Men's division winners: Vancouver Falcons Athletic Club (VFAC)
Team spirit is great motivation!
Team up with your club-mates, co-workers, friends, family or neighbours for the Club/Team Challenge! Individual half marathon times are added together and averaged to see which team is the fastest (unlike in the relay division, each member of the club/team challenge runs the entire half marathon).
Simply identify what team you're on when registering (join an existing one or start a new one) and we'll take care of the rest! Here's how it works:
- Any team with a minimum of 5 members will be scored. There is no maximum number of team members.
- The fastest 4 times from each team will be averaged to determine the winners.
- In the unlikely event of a tie, the 5th fastest times will be compared.
- Team division will be determined by the gender of the top 4 scorers:
- Men = 4 men, or 3 men/1 woman
- Women = 4 women
- Mixed = 2 women/2 men, or 3 women/1 man
- Awards (merchandise prizes or gift certificates) to first team overall in each division.
- More divisions may be added in future.
- Maximum 1 team per club, organization, business, etc. (this is so a strong running club will not scoop all three divisions — gives others a fair chance!)
To register or join a team
Use the same registration form as for individuals. There is a section on the form that asks you to select an existing Club/Team Challenge Team Name, or start a new team. The cost is the same per person as for individuals.
Group packet pickup
You may request group packet pickup for your team (one person to pick up for the entire team, race kits will be grouped accordingly). Simply email us with your team name and the name and contact info for the person who will be picking up, no later than midnight on Monday, March 26, 2012. And make sure all the team members know this is happening so they don't show up at Packet Pickup looking for their kit!
