Centipede

What is a Centipede?

A popular subdivision of the Team category is the Centipede. All of the team information applies to Centipedes, however, unlike a standard Team, a Centipede consists of five or more participants who stay physically connected for the duration of the race.

In addition to staying connected throughout the entire race, many of the Centipede Teams that participate like to dress up to compete for the Most Creative/Spirited Centipede Award!

Why Walk/Run as a Centipede?

• Great Exposure for your club, business, team, fraternity or sorority.
• Adds a fun and competitive element to your participation in the event
• Qualifies participants for more prize categories including:
  • Largest Team/Centipede
  • Most Money Raised by a Team/Centipede
  • Fastest Centipede
  • Most Creative/Spirited Centipede
