Looking for some motivation to lace up and get out the door?
Then join our team, and in all the friendly competition, for the 2021 ON Squad Race!
Ollie and I are locked and loaded.  Who's joining us???

Over two phases — regional and then global — On SquadRace tests you and your team-mates against runners around the world.

Ready for the Regionals? Over two weeks in September, you and your squad amass points based on your speed, stamina, and team size. Your points accumulate from:

• The average 5k speed for all your squad members
• The total average km run per squad member
• The size of your squad (up to your 50th runner)

THE CHALLENGE
Build your squad. Record your fastest 5k. And rack up as many km as possible. It’s time to work with your team to climb above the competition. You’ve got two weeks to show us what you can do.

WHO
You and your squad. You can have as few as seven runners, and there’s no maximum limit. At least 30% must be female. Don’t have a squad? Join Team On (YOUR COUNTRY) and compete as an individual.

WHEN
Registration runs from August 23 – September 10. The race period follows immediately, from September 11-26.

WHERE
Hit the streets wherever you want. The choice is yours. Just make sure it’s not downhill (nobody likes a cheat).

5K ALL OUT
Log your best 5k time under ‘Speed’ (have as many attempts as you like — but remember, no downhill routes).
The faster your squad’s average time, the more points you get.

EVERY KM COUNTS
It’s not just about speed. Stamina matters too.
Run as many km as possible during the race period and log them under ‘Perseverance’.
The higher your squad’s average km total, the more points you get.

EVERY RUNNER COUNTS
Your squad must be at least 30% female and contain at least seven runners. Build your squad as large as you want. You’ll get more points for every runner who joins you (up to your 50th runner).

HIGHEST NUMBER WINS
We’ll add all your points from the 5k average speed, average km total, and squad size. Highest total wins.

LOCAL. GLOBAL. CHAMP.
Win your country, get a top-three finish in your region, or secure a performance wildcard to compete in the global finals.

STEP 1
Form your squad. You need at least seven runners, with a minimum of 30% female.

STEP 2
Choose your captain. Their first job? Register your squad. Registration is open from August 23 – September 10.

STEP 3
Each member of your Squad must individually sign up.

STEP 4
The race period runs September 11-26. You must run at least one 5k run. But the more you run, the more points your team gets – so don’t stay inside for long.

STEP 5

STEP 6
Share your run with #OnSquadRace and tag @on_running.
