TEAM RELAY RACE

TEAM CAPTAIN REGISTRATION PROCESS

Note to Teams: The KEYS100 relay race is now part of the inaugural 3Lay Relay Series Championship that features threee home-grown and locally owned Florida ultra-distance relay races. The series also includes the PALM100 (March 23) and Sunset2Sunrise ("S2S") Relay (March 2-3).  Any team entering all three races will receive early-bird registration pricing for the PALM100 and KEYS100 and a substantially reduced fee forS2S.  Check it out at www.3layrelay.com.

To create a new team, the Team Captain will follow these steps:
  1   Click on the “Create a 100 Mile Relay Team” button below
  2   Create a personal “account” with RaceIt!, our online registration vendor.  This will allow the Captain to access team information later—that is, to invite runners to join the team and make changes to team name or members.
  3   Enter your Team Name.  (This may be changed at a later date.)
  4   Select your Competition category—i.e., Mixed M/F, all male, all female, masters (all Team Members are over 40) or Clydesdale/Athena (at least 4 Team Members must meet the standard: Clydesdale must be at least 200 pounds, Athena must be at least 150 pounds)
  5   Create a team password
  6   As Captain, enter your information to register as the first Member of the new team
  7   The “Manage Your Existing Team” screen will appear. Here, you may send invitational emails to prospective Team Members if you wish, and/or do that later.  You may also change the team name, competition category or team password, now or at a later date.
  8   Checkout and pay the full team registration fee
 

CAPTAINS: INVITING TEAM MEMBERS

Inviting “Members” to join the Team:
  1   While creating the new team (described above), the Captain will view the “Manage your existing Team” page, and be given the option there to “invite” people to join the team by sending them the available email.  That email message automatically includes a link to the registration page for the new Member to complete.  (The runner must know the team name in order to register.) The Captain does NOT have to invite people to join at this time, and will have the option to invite others later.
  2   The Captain will be able to send a similar invitational email to others at any time after creating the team by accessing the “Manage your existing Team” function described more fully below.
  3   As an alternative to receiving an e-mail invitation to join the team, runners who are given the team password may join the team by clicking on the “Join an existing team” button below, typing the password, clicking on the team name from a drop-down list and completing the screens.
 
TEAM CAPTAINS ONLY


ATTENTION CAPTAINS: TEAM VOLUNTEER REQUIREMENT

Each team with one or more team members residing within 50 miles of any point along the course must provide a race volunteer to be available on race weekend for a minimum of four (4) hours. (Multiple volunteers may cover that time commitment.) The online Volunteer Registration process allows volunteers to register and select the position and time slot they prefer.  Teams that do not provide a volunteer will have the option to make a team donation of $100 in advance of the race to the "Cancer Foundation of the Florida Keys" or will be ineligible for race awards.  Do your fair share: identify your team volunteer and ask him/her to register early.

MANAGE YOUR EXISTING TEAM --for Team Captains Only

PROSTATE CANCER FUNDRAISING OPTION TO HAVE REGISTRATION FEE REFUNDED
Racing in the Florida Keys is a lot of fun, but the cause of beating cancer is as serious as it gets and is an important component of the KEYS100. In that spirit, any runner in the individual competitions, or team in the relay race, that delivers paid donations to the "Cancer Foundation of the Florida Keys" in an amount at least equal to three (3) times their paid registration fee will have their fee refunded in full. For example: a team that registered before midnight, January 31, paid a team entry fee of $540. If that team delivers paid donations of at least $1,620 prior to race day (that's 3 times the paid $540 registration fee), the entire $540 race registration fee will be refunded. Similarly, an individual 100-miler who registered prior to midnight on January 31 paid an entry fee of $190. If that runner raises at least $570 in paid donations by race day, his/her paid fee of $190 will be refunded in full.

Notes: Included in the registration fee is a race shirt for each runner.  These will be distributed at pre-race check-in.  Registered runners who are interested in ordering additional shirts will have the option to do so on the registration pages.  Additional shirts will also be delivered at check-in. 

The KEYS100 strongly encourages charitable giving.  As a convenience, runners may make a donation at time of registration should they choose to do so.
