HOW TO CREATE A TEAM: 
 
1) Recruit a group of friends, co-workers, or colleagues for one of the listed team categories above. 
 
2) Select a Team Captain to coordinate your registration.  
 

3) Team Captain must decide on how the complete team will register for the event (either via the paper entry form or via the online registration page). Team members who register via a different method than their captain will NOT be counted in the team’s participation total.  
 

If registering online: Team captain must set up and create a team name on the teams section of the Dawg Dash online registration page. After the team captain registers for the event and enters in the team name, all team members must select that team name when registering online for the event. If not, they will not be counted in their team totals.  
 

If registering via the paper entry forms: All team members must each fill out a 2008 Dawg Dash entry form. Team captains then must collect all the team’s entry forms and submit the entry forms together either via mail or in person at one of the participating Dawg Dash in-store registration locations.   
 
NOTE: All team entry forms & entry fees must be submitted together and be received by Wednesday, October 8th, 2008. No teams or team entries will be allowed if submitted on the day of the event.
