RUN TOGETHER.
COMPETE TOGETHER.
Bring your coworkers, running club, friends or family together for the Gate River Run Corporate & Open Team Competition.
Everything Is Better as a Team.
The Gate River Run is more than an individual challenge. It’s an opportunity to build friendships, encourage fitness, strengthen workplace connections, and experience race day together.
Our Corporate and Open Team Competition adds another exciting dimension to the Gate River Run. Whether you’re part of a large company, a small business, a running club, or a group of friends, there’s a place for your team.
Team members can participate in either distance.
Runners and walkers can contribute to team participation.
Recognition for both participation and 15K team performance.
Two Ways to Compete
Teams compete in one of two divisions, giving both workplace groups and community teams an opportunity to participate.
Corporate Teams
Bring together your coworkers and represent your company or organization at Jacksonville’s premier running event.
It’s a great way to encourage employee wellness, strengthen team spirit, and enjoy a shared goal outside the workplace.
Open Teams
Gather your running club, training partners, friends, or family members and compete as an Open Team.
Open Teams offer a fun and competitive way to represent your community and share the Gate River Run experience.
