Teams

New this year TEAMS! Schools and/or run clubs may now join as a team during the registration process. The team with the most team members to register & participate will win the opportunity to walk in the Edison Festival of Light Junior Parade that immediately following the Junior Fun Run. We will do a head count for all participating teams on race day to determine the winner. Organizers suggest one administrator be assigned to create team. Assigned administrators may do so by clicking "sign-up" then "create team" without singing up for the event.  The administrator must have or create a RunSignup account.  Participants may then join this team during the registration process.
