School Entry Options

Option 1
Once you know the total number of competitors please email jenna@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. Once this spreadsheet has been received you will then be sent an invoice for the number of students in that spreadsheet. Only once this invoice has been paid will your students be entered into the event.
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.

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).

Option 3
Fill out an entry form and then either post it back to us along with cheque or proof of payment or email it to jenna@eventpromotions.co.nz along with proof of payment.
