Mighty Hikes | South Coast

Teams

It's easy to create a team! 

Follow the steps to become a Team Captain when you register. Make sure you have a list of names and email addresses of your fellow team members. Once you have signed up, an email invite will be sent to your team members with a bespoke link for them to fill out their own registration form and join your team.

As Team Captain you will have the option to pay their registration fee, otherwise your team members can pay when they get their invite.

Every time a member of the team completes their registration, you’ll be sent a confirmation email. That way you can monitor who has or has not joined your team.

I hiked this marathon in memory of my late partner. It was, and will be one of the best things I’ve ever done. I am so proud and in awe of every person who signed up, held each other's hand, and battled through. Philippa, hiker of the South Coast, 2023
