The captain must tell team members the team name and password. For new runners signing up on race day, once you have entered into the race you will be given a bib number and you will claim your team. The team captain will fill out a form with the team name and runners' bib numbers. It takes at least 5 runners to complete a team. A team can be all the same gender or mixed.
