What our participants are saying
For four years now I have thoroughly enjoyed every ounce of effort your entire team has put into RTY! What an amazing concept all 7 members of our two teams have shared with many between the Amerithon and all the RTYs!

How does a team work?
You can divide the miles however you want! Each team member registers individually, then you form your team inside our online tracker.
The tracker allows you to log miles individually AND as a team!
This graphic gives you an example of the average miles needed by each person, depending on the size of your team.

Tell me about teams!
You can do this challenge "Solo" AND be on a team at the same time! The mileage tracker will keep track of your personal journey as well as a team of up to 8 people. Finish the challenge with your team and then keep going to finish it solo.
Check out this video to see how teams are formed: Amerithon Team Formation
Here are the steps to create your team:
1. Every member of the team needs to register individually.
2. Choose a "Fearless Leader" for your team! The Fearless Leader needs to know every team member’s info, including name and email address.
3. Once everyone is registered, the Fearless Leader creates the team within the tracker:
The tracker will keep track of your individual miles as well as your team’s miles. You can only be on one team at a time in the tracker. It’s very easy to switch to a new team, but once you leave a team, all of your miles will leave with you.
And nope — the 3,521 miles don’t have to be split evenly between teammates. You can divide them up however you want!
