Running as a Team

Have a large group? Interested in starting a Shroomie Team?

Having the support of your shroomies during your training and race is priceless. Regardless of when your teammates register, the entire group will get a $10 refund once your team reaches 10 or more members. The refund will go directly back to the card used to pay for registration. PLUS there’s potential for teams to win extra prizes and deals. 

How Does it Work? 

When registering you will have the option to Join a Group/Team.  All Members of a TEAM are linked by their team name and password.  As your team grows, everyone benefits, even those who register first!  The system will automatically refund everyone on the team who has already registered and charge the new team members the new rate. Once you hit 10 shroomies, the first 9 to register will automatically receive a $10 refund to their card, and the 10th member (and anyone else who registers after that!) will get the discounted rate automatically.  Registrants that do not initially register with their group may not be eligible for refunds or discounts.
