TEAM COMPETITION - GET YOUR FRIENDS AND RUNNING BUDDIES TOGETHER AND RUN AS A TEAM - WIN GREAT PRIZES! SEE THE TEAM COMPETITION PAGE LINK SHOWN ABOVE FOR MORE DETAILS! Teams of 5 to 10 runners compete for prizes for each of the three Summer Sizzler races (Summer Solstice 5K, Downtown Dash 5K, and Beach to Beach 5K) as well as a Team Grand Prize for the team that wins the combined three-race series competition! Here's how it works - you get a team of at least 5 but no more than 10 runners together, and enter each race in the Series (or use the Three-Race Bundle for a better price). At each race, your team is scored just like in Cross Country - the top five runners on the team are scored, by adding up the OVERALL PLACE each runner finishes in the race. Lowest score wins, and if there's a tie score, the tie is broken by the sixth runner's place. The summer classic Beach To Beach 5K Run is back! BRAND NEW route running from Jensen Beach to Stuart Beach, NEW SATURDAY MORNING in August timeframe - MAKE SURE YOU READ ALL THE INSTRUCTIONS! This race has a 300-runner cap so don't wait too long to register!
