Corporate Teams
2024 Corporate Running Team (CRT)
Program Guidelines
Logistics
Corporate Running Teams should have 10+ runners
Corporate Running Teams must use MarathonGuide as their fundraising platform and establish their group as a “Team”
Corporations who do not use MarathonGuide as their fundraising platform will not be eligible for post-race awards
Corporations running on behalf of multiple charities should create a team page with each charity partner
All pages from a single corporation will be collected to reflect an overall Corporate Running Team total
Charities should treat Corporate Running Teams as FFR entries and should contact the Houston Marathon Committee for the appropriate number of Corporate Running Team entries
It is imperative that HMC be notified that the entries are for a Corporate Running Team and not for an individual FFR participant
The Corporate Running Team members will receive a code that is SIMILAR BUT NOT THE SAME as the charity FFR code – which is critical for reporting purposes
Fundraising
The individual fundraising minimum for Corporate Running Team participants is $500 or the stated charity minimum. The charity and corporation shall determine the method that all members of the Corporate Running Team will follow with regards to covering the entry cost and fundraising amounts. Examples on how this may work are listed below:
Fundraising by participant, race entry paid by corporation
$115/$135 X number of participants = amount paid by corporation
$500+ raised by 10+ Corporate Running Team members
Charity will provide code after both of the above are completed
Fundraising AND race entry paid by individual
Individual should raise $115/$135 AND $500+
Charity will provide code the above are completed
o Fundraising AND race entry paid by corporation
Corporation should pay charity race entry AND $500+ per member of the Corporate Running Team
