Please note: individual registrations are not available.

If you don’t have a team, select the option “I NEED A TEAM” during registration. We’ll ensure you’re placed with a team, or if you find one later, simply reach out to an administrator and we’ll happily update your registration.

Important: Only one person per group should create the team as the captain. All other team members can then search for and join that team. Please avoid creating duplicate teams.

TEAM DETAILS:

• Each team can have up to six members.

• Regardless of team size, a minimum of two participants must be active at all times during the full 24-hour event.

• If you're joining a team, please be aware that this is a 24-hour commitment. If you’re unable to participate for the full duration but still want to support the cause, we encourage you to register under “I NEED A TEAM” and notify an admin that you won’t be actively participating, or simply donate to a team or individual of your choice.

Every contribution helps, and if you're signed up to participate, your team is counting on you.
