Team challenge

If you and a group of colleagues, friends or team members fancy taking on a running event together, why not enter the Great South Run Team Challenge? It’s a great opportunity for businesses to encourage a healthy outlook for team members or staff, engage in all-important team building and focus on charity fundraising. So gather your colleagues, enter your team, and join the start line!

How does it work?

• Enter a team of colleagues into the Great South Run
• Your team must have a minimum of 4 people (16 years of age or over on race day)
• There is no maximum number of team members
• The finishing times of the fastest 4 members of your team will be used to calculate the overall team time
• The winning team will receive a Great Run Team Challenge trophy
• 2nd and 3rd place teams will receive a Team Challenge engraved plaque
• Special prize will be awarded to the largest team for each event

Why enter a team?

• It encourages a healthy outlook for team members or staff, and it offers excellent team building opportunities
• It’s a great opportunity to focus on charity fundraising and supporting good causes
• It’s all inclusive – the challenge is open to everyone, with no limits on team size, age or gender
• It’s a great day out! The start line atmosphere, the entertainment and support on course, and the finish line celebrations provide truly special memories
• The experience of running a Great Run event is unrivalled – running through the heart of each city, with tens of thousands of runners and even more supporters, music and entertainment from start to finish and a lively event village for post-event celebrations
• Each team member will receive a shiny new medal, exclusive finishers t-shirt, and a finisher’s bag filled with goodies
