- Team members are responsible for paying for their race entry fee, or
- Bulk Pay: The Bulk Pay option is available for approved accounts that anticipate having 20 or more race registrations that will all be paid for by a single entity at least two weeks before race day.
How it Works- The team captain completes this application form.
- Pending approval, the team captain will be issued a registration code that they will distribute to team members to use.
- The recipients will apply the code to their shopping cart upon registering for the race to zero out the race entry fee. Please be advised that High Five Events takes no responsibility for distribution or the incurred cost of the use of the code.
- Any extra items that a team member adds to their shopping cart, such as merchandise or charity donations, must be paid for when they complete their registration. Team registration follows the same refund/deferral process as individual registration, see details here.
- All bulk pay codes expire at 11:59 PM on Sunday, January 26, 2025. Following the deadline, an invoice will be generated that will include the number of times the code was used multiplied by the corresponding entry fees. It will also include the 7% processing fee + $1.00 per registration.
- A billing invoice will be sent to the team captain and/ or the billing contact.
- Invoices must be paid on full on or before February 7, 2025.
- Unpaid invoices will result in cancelled registrations and all users of the code will be notified that their registrations have been voided and their race packets discarded.
Team Captain Pick Up
“Team Captain is responsible for picking up and distributing Team packets. Not recommended for Public Teams.”
If a Team Captain selected this option race packets including race bibs and event shirts for each team member will be packaged together. Please make sure all of your team members know the captain will pick up their race items.
- Captains with a team of 25+ members are invited to attend early packet pick up the Wednesday before the race. Details will be sent.
- Captains with a team of fewer than 25 members will pick up the team box at the Teams Kiosk at the packet pick up expo.
2. Member Pick Up
Each team member will need to pick up their own race items at the packet pick up expo if the captain pick up option was not selected. Team members cannot pick up packets for each other.
