1. Can I join Race for Life as part of a team/group/family?
Yes, if the group you wish to join has already been set up you will need the group ID from the group leader. If you wish to set up your own group you will need to do this during the registration process.
2. How many people can be part of my team?
You can have as many people as you like join your team. All they will need is your team ID.
3. How can I enter Race for Life as a group/team?
You can enter your team online through the registration process. Just think of a team name and then invite all your friends and family to join you.
4. Can I now join a team/group even though I have entered to my Race for Life already?
Unfortunately due to the group fundraising being new for 2012 we are unable to offer participants the option of joining a team after they have signed up. This can only be determined during the entry process. We hope to develop this in future years.
5. I have joined up to Race for Life and now my friends and family want to form a team with me – how do I do this?
Your friends and family are able to set up a team during the entry process however as you have already entered you will unable to enter their team as this currently is only determined at sign up. This should not deter you from participating and fundraising with them, as it just means our systems are currently not able to link your sponsorship amount with others. We hope to develop this in future years.
6. Why can I only create a team online / why can't I create a team over the phone?
Unfortunately due to the group fundraising being new for 2012 we are unable to offer the same level of functionality in our supporter centre as we do online. You are however able to join a group over the phone. We hope to develop this in future years.
