Registration

In order to secure your spot in the 2010 edition of our Festival, you will need the following information ready to complete the online registration process:

1. Only those individuals who will be managing the team through the online system must register on behalf of the team, i.e., team captain.
    
2. Using either Visa or Mastercard, full payment must be made at time you register your team.  The credit card used does not have to be under your name, and you can enter the name of the card holder when submitting payment details.

Note on Waivers
