How do I create a team and invite friends to join me? 

add remove

When you sign up select Create a Team, then select Team of 2 or Team of 4. 

You will be asked if you want to "allow anyone to join my Team" YES / NO

  1. If NO, then you have to share your team URL with anyone you are inviting to join your team. Your team will not be searchable via any of the search functions on the website.  

    When logged in go to the MY TEAM tab on your fundraising page dashboard. Scroll down the page and you'll see 'Invite others to join your TEAM'. Copy the URL and paste into a social post or email to invite them. 

  2. If YES (publicly joinable), your potential team mate can search for your team and click the JOIN US button. This will ask them to confirm and they will be asked to register.  

  3. If a rider has already registered we can add them to your team on your behalf, in the back end. Contact us if you would like our help with this.  

Please contact us if you would like any assistance with this.
