FISH of SANCAP Announces New Team Competition Option for 2024 JOG N JAM Event

FISH OF SANCAP (FISH) is excited to announce a new addition to this year’s JOG N JAM event: the opportunity for teams to compete in the in-person 10K and 5K races! Participants can now join forces with friends, family, or colleagues to create a team with a chance to win a team competition award, making this year’s race more exciting and engaging than ever before.

To participate in the team competition, racers must sign up to be part of a team during the entry process. The deadline for team signups is Sat., Dec. 6th at 6 pm. After this cutoff, no additional team entries or modifications will be accepted. For those already registered but wishing to create or join a team, please contact FISH’s timer and registrar, Mark at Lin-Mark Sports, via email at linmarksports@linmarksports.com. Be sure to include your name and the team you’d like to join or create.

The team competition will be scored by our official timer, Lin-Mark Sports. Here’s how it works:

• Top 5 Finishers Scored: Each team can have an unlimited number of participants, but only the top five finishers will be counted for the team’s score.
• Chip Time Determines Winner: The chip times of the top five finishers will be added together to produce a total team time. The team with the fastest total chip time will win.
• Tiebreaker: In the event of a tie, the team with the best 6th place finisher will be declared the winner.
• One Team Award Per Race: There will be one team award per race, so get your team together and start training!
• Dual Eligibility for Awards: Individuals who place in the team scoring are also eligible to win an overall or age group award, so there are plenty of opportunities to celebrate your achievements!

Says Leah Winkler, co-chair of the JOG N JAM committee, “We excited to make this addition and celebrate team spirit at the starting line! We’re looking forward to all teams — seasoned runners, family teams, or colleagues looking for a fun fitness challenge – to participate in the new team competition at JOG N JAM. Register today, build your team, and let’s make this year’s JOG N JAM the most competitive and fun race yet!”

To date, FISH welcomes the following registered teams: Captial Fitness, Doc Ford’s Sanibel, Lexi’s Legion, Lindsey, The Sanctuary Golf Club Foundation, The Sanibel Sisterhood and Tropical Sunrise. Join today to add your team to the list!
