The Adventure Begins

  1. Register before March 1 to avoid late fees. Returning captains must enter team name (even if unchanged) and update user data.
  2. Pay with one nonrefundable check to Golden Gate Relay or with credit card ($50 PayPal fee added). After payment is processed, team will appear at Registered Teams. Confirmations are not sent.
    30/36 legs: $1560 ($1680 postmarked after March 1)
    24 legs: $1320 ($1440 after March 1)
    4 legs: $360 ($440 after March 1).
  3. Up to 11 runners/walkers (by March 15) and 2 volunteers (by April 15) must select team from drop down list. Due to the waiver, captains registering teammates assume personal liability for registrants (unless optional Roster/Waiver with signatures is submitted at start).
  4. On the captain page, a captain may change division, delete a runner/walker/volunteer and view donations by check.
  5. Two volunteers, age 16 or older, must register by April 15 and fulfill a 4-5 hour shift or team will be disqualified. When filled, shifts disappear from the list. If you raise $1200/team for ORU or every runner/walker lives more than 50 miles from any part of the course, volunteers are not required.
