Why Add Corporate Teams to Your Race

A corporate team option brings in groups of registrants through a single company contact, and RunSignup handles the invoicing and team management that comes with it.

Bring In Registrants by the Group

One team captain recruits coworkers for you, so a single company relationship can fill dozens of spots.

Companies Pay, Employees Just Register

Companies cover some or all of the entry fee through invoices or pre-paid packages, and RunSignup tracks every payment through race day.

Captains Do the Recruiting

Team captains promote the race at work, manage their rosters, and view invoices from their RunSignup profile.

Built Into Your Race Setup

Corporate teams run inside your race alongside individual registration, free email, websites, fundraising, and RaceDay tools.

Built for Races That Welcome Company Teams

Whether one company sponsors the whole field or dozens of businesses send teams, Corporate Teams adapts to how your event is funded.

Community 5Ks and Road Races

Give local businesses a way to sign up employees alongside your general registration.

Charity Races and Fundraising Walks

Companies enter teams and support your cause through integrated donations and fundraising.

Corporate Challenges and Company Runs

Events built around company teams get packages, captain controls, and invoices for every team.

Races with Sponsor Partners

Offer sponsors a pre-paid package of entries so their employees can join the race.

Races with Team Tents and Tailgates

Sell team tents or catering as captain-only store items, paid by invoice with the rest of the team’s balance.

FAQ: All About Corporate Teams

When should I add a corporate team option to my race?

A corporate team option makes sense when companies want to pay for some or all of their employees’ entries. A good rule of thumb: if at least 25% of your participants could be on teams a company is paying for, Corporate Teams is a strong fit. If your teams are mainly social or competitive and everyone pays for themselves, standard Groups & Teams is the simpler choice.

How do companies pay for their employees’ race registrations?

You choose how teams pay. Companies can buy a pre-paid package that covers a block of entries, or pay as employees register. RunSignup can invoice teams automatically after team joining closes. Invoices can be paid by credit card or check, before or after the event. Captains can view their team’s invoices and payments from their RunSignup profile.

Can corporate teams include friends and family who aren’t employees?

Yes. You can limit corporate team registration to employees only, or allow friends and family to join. Captains can also change a team member’s employee status, so the company is invoiced only for the entries it agreed to cover.

What can corporate team captains manage for their teams?

Captains can share a custom team link or import participants, remove team members, change employee status, and view add-on items and invoices. Races can give captains their own custom questions and captain-only store items like tents or catering. Captains can also add questions for registrants on their team, and teams can have co-captains to share the work.

Can corporate team participants transfer or defer their registration?

No. Every registration change affects a company’s invoice, so corporate team participants can’t transfer or defer, change add-ons, or move to a different corporate team. Corporate teams also can’t be deleted, only hidden, so no invoice gets missed.

What’s the difference between corporate teams and regular race teams?

Regular Groups & Teams are for social and competitive teams. They group participants together, show up in team results, and work for most races. Corporate Teams is an invoicing tool for teams a company pays for, with packages, captain controls, and team invoices. Fundraising teams are a third option, built for raising money for charity partners.
