Team Challenge

We want to personally invite YOU and your team to participate in this year’s Team Challenge! The top team(s) who recruit the most team members and the top team(s) who fund raise the most by race day will be recognized on race day during the pre-race show and will be featured in the Puget Sound Business Journal following the race in January 2020!
