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 5 or more participants who stay physically connected for the duration of the race.

Why Walk/Run as a Centipede?
  • Great Exposure for your club, business, team, fraternity or sorority
  • Adds a fun and competitive element to 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
