5K Teams and Groups

We encourage participants to walk or run with a team for fun or competition, but it isn’t required by any means.  If you’d like to participate with friends, family and/or co-workers, then you should strongly consider creating a team.  Details below along with top 2011 Teams!

Why walk or run as a team?

1) Teams are a great way to show your support for an individual or cause.  Groups will sometimes wear signature items, costumes or t-shirts centered around their team.

2) Participating as a team can offer recognition for your company or cause.

3) If you’re competitive runners, then your team’s top times will be averaged and available online after the race.  Compete against other teams or try for a team goal average.

How do I signup for a team?

There’s a “team name” option at registration… just ask your teammates to use the same team name when registering.

If you already registered and didn’t fill out a team name or would like to change your team name, email the change to kirsten@autism5k.org and she can manually change it before race day.
