- V.I.P. lines for the Wawa Tent

NEW! FIRST 48 MEMBER BUS CHALLENGE
If your Team is the first to register 48 members online, those 48 Team members will be taken to the Race compliments of YellowBird Bus Company. Convenient, fun, and a great way to foster Team spirit on Race morning, the winning Team will be picked up at one location and transported to the Race in a bus, which you can decorate in your Team's colors/themes. If no Teams qualify by March 15, the challenge will expire.
NEW! TEAM BUS DISCOUNTS
For the first time, the generous team at YellowBird Bus Company is offering our Race teams a discount per bus of 48 people, starting at $225 for Philadelphia located pickups/drop-offs. Team pickup/drop-off sites outside the city, please inquire about your discount. Your team chooses one location to meet, and the bus will shuttle you to and from the Race site. Offer limited to the first 24 bus requests, so reserve your team bus early! Contact Tom Anton at YellowBird, 215-289-1022. Map of bus parking on Race Day can be found here.

Save on Shipping & Handling

- Asking team members to email you if they want you to pick up their materials for them
- Hosting a team get-together, where you can distribute the materials you picked up, share best practices for fundraising, and boost team spirit!
