Enter as a Team
The Teams Challenge is a great team-building exercise and an excellent way to motivate your team, colleagues, families and friends to achieve a personal challenge together.
Your team can choose to race in any of our nine races and all are welcome to select their own start zones. You do not have to race together in the same race or choose the same start zone.
