CAPTAIN INSTRUCTIONS
1.	After reviewing Overview, one captain may enter only one team before March 1. Captains from previous years must enter as New Users.
2.	Mail one nonrefundable $960 check for the team payable to The Relay postmarked by March 1. Payment with more than one check will be returned.
3.	After 2 weeks (2 days during March) for processing, confirm entry at Registered Teams. Confirmations will not be sent.
4.	Instruct (up to 11) runners (by March 8 to avoid $20 late fees) and (2) volunteers (by April 15) to select your team name when entering online. If every runner on a team lives more than 50 miles from any part of the course, the volunteer requirement is waived.
5.	By April 15, two volunteers, age 16 or older, must register online for a 4-5 hour shift along the course. Assignments are made as volunteers register. Teams will be disqualified if their volunteers fail to show.
6.	As a Returning User (requires User Name/Password), captains may view runners, change divisions, delete runners (for substitutions) and delete volunteers (to be replaced). Send a check for $25 to retrieve a User Name/Password or change a team name.
7.	During the first week of April, start times will be posted at Registered Teams.
8.	Solicit donations (by sending the sample email and/or asking an employer to match the entry fee) and mail the $600/team ($50/runner) mandatory donation to ORU by April 15.
RUNNER INSTRUCTIONS
1.	To join the correct team, confirm your team's entry at Registered Teams.
2.	Before March 8 (to avoid $20 late fee), select the exact team name when entering online below as a New User. Thanks for joining California's Longest Party.
VOLUNTEER INSTRUCTIONS
1.	Volunteers, age 16 or older, must register online below as New Users for a 4-5 hour shift. Teams will be disqualified if their volunteers fail to show.
2.	Before registering, view Volunteer Entry Information to choose a location and shift.
3.	To affiliate with the correct team, confirm entry of your team at Registered Teams and select the exact team name when registering. Select "unaffiliated" if volunteering without a team.
4.	As a Returning User (requires User Name and Password) volunteers may change a shift based on availability. Send a check for $25 to retrieve a forgotten User Name/Password.
5.	When a captain deletes a volunteer to be replaced, the shift becomes available to the public so the replacement volunteer must register immediately if he/she desires the same shift.
6.	Assignments are made as volunteers register. After registering, confirm your Volunteer Assignment. Thanks for volunteering during California's Longest Party.

Runners and volunteers must enter individually as New Users and record User Names and Passwords to login as Returning Users. Registering more than one person with the same User Name and Password will erase the previous entry. Since a waiver is involved, Captains that enter their runners or volunteers assume personal liability for each person entered.
