For the team competition, all runners are competing as individual runners in the race with all standard rules applying. But the further each team member runs, the better the team's score will be. Each team consists of between 2-4 runners. Team scores will be determined by adding together the number of loops completed by each team member. This is mostly just to introduce some additional fun to the race, but there will be some prize for the winning team.

To form a new team, simply send an email to Carl Worth <carl@slug.run> with the following information:

• Team name
• Team emoji
• Team members (2-4)
