Want to become a member of the Beef Running Team?

    Registration is currently closed for the 2012 year. We may have openings later in the year, so if you'd like to be on the wait list, please send your name, email, address and phone number to teambeef@cobeef.com.  

How does it work?

    All members are required to participate in a team Webinar/conference call once per running season. This will give us time to get you some background on the beef industry and great beef nutrition tips that you can use and share with your fellow runners. You will be provided with a tech t-shirt that you will need to wear in the race. Upon completion of the race, upload a picture of yourself in your shirt at the race and fill out the reimbursement form. You will be reimbursed for your entry fee into the race (early bird rate only; see reimbursement info below as reimbursements have changed) via a check that will be mailed to you. (You must sign up for each race that you plan on participating in on your own. By signing up for the running team does not mean that you've also signed up for the individual races.)

How do I stay involved?

    There is a team Facebook group page that will allow you to meet your fellow teammates as well as giving you an outlet to stay involved throughout the year. Weekly nutrition information, recipes and other fun tips will be posted for you to share.

Once I join and run a race, how do I get reimbursed?

    Reimbursements have changed a little this year. While you can still get full reimbursement for your races, we’d like to encourage you to run more than one. Here is the structure and how you’ll get reimbursed:
    1^st race you run: 50% of your reimbursement fee
    2^nd race you run: the second half of your first race and 50% of your 2^nd race
    3^rd race you run: the second half of your 2^nd race and 100% of your 3^rd race
    4 or more races: full reimbursement upon completion of the race
