Our 2009 Syracuse event is scheduled for Tuesday, June 23. We encourage every employee of your company to enter, whether they are experienced racers, joggers or walkers. We thank you for your interest in fitness and health, and look forward to seeing you in Onondaga Lake Park!

The Company Captain

The Company Captain plays an instrumental role on behalf of the participating company and is the liaison with the Race Coordinator. The Company Captain is responsible for forming a team, recruiting runners, finalizing the entry, obtaining and distributing race day materials to the participants, and submitting scores. The Company Captain also coordinates the t-shirt contest entry and makes hospitality arrangements, if desired.

A convenient checklist is available which details the responsibilities of the Company Captain.

The Registration Process

There are three steps in the registration process: 1) the company team is created, 2) participants register themselves, and 3) the company team is finalized. If participants do not pay their own registration fee, then the Company Captain will pay when the team is finalized.

Each company team may have an unlimited number of registered participants. However, you must meet the minimum registration requirements - four men for a male team, four woman for a female team, or two men and two women for a mixed team.

Please Note:

• To determine the submission date of your company entry, the Race Coordinator will use the date that your company entry is finalized, or the date that full payment is made, whichever is later.
• No additions will be allowed once the company entry has been finalized.
• No race day entries will be accepted.
• Entry fees are non-refundable and non-transferable even in the case of event cancellation.
• Race packets will not be released until all entry fees have been paid.

Create Your Company Team

Create your company team by using the link provided at the top of this page. You will be asked for contact information, information about your company, payment method (captain pays or runners pay), and the estimated number of runners you expect to register for your company team. New company captains will also establish a user name and password for Captain tools; current company captains should use their previous year's user name and password. Once your team is created, your personalized company team page lists your participants as they register and provides team management tools like credit card payment, a bulletin board for team and race updates, an area to post pictures, and an email function.

Registration

Next, register yourself if you plan to run, using the registration link at the top of this page. Provide your company employees with the details of the race and direct them to this website to register themselves. If your company's CEO or president chooses to compete in the MSE category, he/she should register just like any other runner.

For help with online registration, please contact online registration support.

Finalize your Company Team

Finally, use the Captain Tools to identify your Most Senior Executive runner, if applicable. The Captain Tools also help you customize and maintain your team page, communicate with your team members, and more! Use Captain Tools to finalize your entry and make a credit card payment, if desired. Submit payment by the entry closing deadline to complete your company entry. See Payment Options below.

Payment Options

Payments are accepted by credit card and company check or money order. There is no limit to the number of credit card payments per company entry, however, only one company check or money order will be accepted per company entry. The following payment combinations are acceptable:

• Individual runners may pay by credit card as they register online.
• A company captain may pay for the entire team by credit card when finalizing the entry, or submit a company check or money order for the entire team.

A credit card fee of $1.75 for individual payments and $10.00 for company captain payments will be charged.
