Wipro Team Challenge Information
Racing as a team is a great way to promote team work in your organization, camaraderie amongst your friends, and friendly competition against other similar groups. Register as a team now to get active, meet others and have fun while training and racing.
Teams: Minimum of 4 people – all male, all female or coed (2 male & 2 female). Maximum of 10 people. Note: if your company/group has more than 10 people, divide yourselves into team 1 + team 2 and compete against each other or as a super-unit!
Event: A team can compete in any of our 3 events (Full Marathon, 1st Half Marathon, 2nd Half Marathon). All team members must run the same event.
Categories: Each team must register under one, and only one, of the following categories: corporate, all-male, all-female, co-ed, or university alum.
Scoring: Total finishing time of top 4 runners determines team’s finish time.
Awards: The team with the fastest finishing time in each event (Full, 1st Half, 2nd Half) will be awarded. Wipro Team Challenge Awards (medals!) will be given to winners from each category. The company with the most members participating in The Wipro Team Challenge will be given a separate award (TBD), courtesy of Wipro.
