Schools Challenge Team Information
- Nominate a team captain to set up a team in Race Roster, our registration system (see details on how to set up a team on )
- Create a team under your school’s name
- Share the team URL to anyone interested in being a part of the team or registrants can pick the team name from a drop down menu when registering.
- Encourage as many of your school community to be involved in the event, your team will receive one point for every team member registered and points based on your students results on the day, so the bigger your team the better your chance of walking away as the Schools Challenge Champion
Schools can be as hands on or hands off with team management as they would like. Once the team is set up in the system, runners can register individually and self-manage their event day experience, or team managers can do bulk race kit collection, set up a school marquee, and manage runners on the day. Schools can choose to have runners participating in school colours or runners can self-manage their running attire. The choice is up to each school.
Each registered runner will receive all important event day information via email and can deal directly with Griffith Sport to manage any registration questions or changes.
