Register here (FREE) and invite your friends and family to join you! Join an already established team, create a new team, or register as an indivdual. It is encouraged that participants do some fundraising among family & friends (raising money earns you Relay points towards items/swag; raising $100 - e.g., $10 from 10 people- gets you a t-shirt) but that's not a hard requirement. Even if you don't want to fundraise individually, that's OK! You can still register to participate (and we really hope you will)!
