> Who picks up the team packets? <
Team Captains, or a designated representative, will be responsible for picking up packets & t-shirts for the entire team during Packet Pick-up and are responsible for getting them to their team members. Team packets can NOT be split for individual pick-up. Packets not picked up during Packet Pick-up will be available in the Pre-Registration tent in Town Square starting at 4:30pm, November 26th.

How many people do you need to create a team?
You must have 3 or more people to make a team. There is no maximum size limit. Teams can be formed from groups of co-workers, friends, families, or a combination of these. The more the merrier! Special recognition will be given to the team who registers the most participants.

Is there a fee to register a team?
No, there is no extra cost involved to start a team. The registration fee will be the same per participant based on age.

Can team members be added to an existing team after the November 16th deadline?
Unfortunately, no. This deadline allows us to have time to prepare all participant packets by team so that only one person has to pick up the team packets. However, individuals can sign up through race day, and still walk with their team members. Money raised/donations will not be added to the team count and the size of the team cannot be changed. Race packets will be under that individual’s name vs. the team name.

Do teams have to walk/run together?
There is no "relay” component, so teams can walk/run the race together or separately. You choose! So rally your team together, and join us in giving thanks one step at a time.

Does our team have to fundraise in order to participate in the race?
While fundraising is not required, it is strongly encouraged. It can be as simple as rounding up your registration fee, or asking 5 friends to donate $5.00. Together with your team, you can make a difference in the lives of local families fighting cancer! 100% of your donations/money raised stays in Acadiana. Set a team goal, and make a much greater impact than you could alone.
