Team Divisions
One of the unique features of the Aztec Run has been our team divisions. A team is a group of 4-5 individuals that have registered under one of the six team divisions. There is no limit to the number of teams a group may enter however a participant may not enter more than one team.
This year's team divisions will include male & female and coed teams. Coed teams must include at least 1 different gender identity.
The divisions are:
- High School Division - there will be a coed division and participants must be enrolled in a high school.
- Family Division - this will be a coed division and participants must be a family member and/or a member of the extended family.
- Corporate Division - There will be a coed division. All participants must be an employee of a company
- Open Division - This will be a coed division for any group of friends. This is typically your more experienced runner division.
- Non-Profit Division - this will be a coed division and participants must be an employee or volunteer in the past 6 months of a non-profit organization.
- Wheelchair Division - this will be a coed division for participants with disabilites.
What if we have more than 5 people?
Form a second team, or a third or fourth team. There is no limit to th enumber of teams that your group can form. You cannot participate for more than one team.
