SCHOOL ENTRY OPTIONS

Once you know the total number of competitors please email info@eventpromotions.co.nz and let her know your School Name, which venue/date you will be attending and your confirmed number of competitors. You will then receive an Excel Spreadsheet with a bulk waiver for you to fill in with all of your student’s details.

Please Note: All of the fields on the spreadsheet template must be filled in for each student, otherwise it will be sent back to you for correction. Google Docs or other online format templates will NOT be accepted.

All School group invoices will be sent to schools AFTER each event to allow for corrections of change in entrant numbers or additional administrative costs.

Option 2
Parents/caregivers can enter and pay for their children online. There is a question section where they must put in their school name and tick a box to say if the Teacher or Parent will be picking up the race number on the day of the event. As long as they correctly enter the school name and tick the box to say the Teacher will collect the race number then we are able to have everything waiting for you to pick up from registration on the morning of the event. (Race numbers, safety pins, finishers medals and Hell Pizza vouchers).
