Team Requirements

Teams will consist of three members (one for each leg of the race). Teams can be any combination of students, staff, faculty, or spouses. Team members do not have to compete at the same time. Leg times will be combined at the end of the day to determine Team winner. Team members must compete in the same division (i.e. all Iron Cat legs).

Participants can compete in both the individual and team division (only one per level). Example: Someone can compete on an Iron Cat team and do the Iron Cat individual as well. Someone cannot compete on two teams, one in the Iron Cat division and one in the Half Iron Cat. If a participant wins both the team and individual divisions, only one prize will be awarded. The prize for individual will then be deferred to the next place in that individual division.

Race Day Check-In
It is recommended that competitors arrive at least 15 minutes prior to start time to check-in and prepare for the race.

Results

The partcipant's time to complete each event will be recorded on a score card and totaled at the end for the final race time. Time between events will not be factored into the total time; however, if the participant begins an event later than the start-time, this time will be added into the total race time for that leg of the race. 

The lowest total time will be the top finisher.

The Results will be posted at the CRC and online by Friday, November 9.
