Based on projections provided by company captains and permit restrictions, we have closed both races to additional companies. We have begun to notify companies of their wait list status. If you have not heard from us by Friday, May 15, your company was not selected for 2010 participation.

Participants from registered companies should register for their company team using the Runner Registration link. We thank you for your interest in fitness and health, and look forward to seeing you in Central Park on June 16 or 17!

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 printable registration guide and an entry checklist which details the responsibilities of the Company Captain are available.

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.

Due to permit restrictions, the Race Coordinator reserves the right to limit the number of entries before the closing date.

Companies may choose one race night only. If you have made corporate hospitality arrangements, be sure your participants register for your confirmed race night.

Please Note:

• The final deadline for companies and individuals to register to participate in the New York City races is April 21, 2010, or as soon as capacity is reached. We do expect both races to fill to capacity (approximately 500 companies, or 15,000 runners per evening) much sooner than the deadline.
• No increase in the number of participants will be allowed once the company team has been created.
• No race day entries will be accepted.
• Entry fees are non-refundable and non-transferable even in the case of event cancellation.
• Race packs will not be released until all entry fees have been paid.

Create Your Company Team

Create your company team by using the links 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 has a bulletin board for team and race updates and an area to post pictures. The Captain Tools link lets you customize and maintain your company team page, and provides team management tools to email your team members, update your company team information, finalize your team and make credit card payments.

Registration

Next, register yourself if you plan to run, using the links provided beginning March 17. Provide your company employees with the details of the race and direct them to this website to register themselves.

Finalize your Company Team

After all of your participants have registered, use Captain Tools to finalize your entry and make a credit card payment, if desired. Submit payment by by April 28, 2010 to complete your company entry. See Payment Options below. If payment is not received by this deadline, your company team entry may be rejected.

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. (Please note: the $10 fee will be charged each time a company captain makes a payment.)

Company Entry Checklist

• Create your team online.
• Distribute race details and registration instructions to all potential team members.

• Finalize your company entry using Captain Tools, and pay your entry fees before the deadline. See Race Details for dates and payment details.
