How to Join the Team

Joining the team is a two step process:

1. Join the RUN FOR AUTISM team at www.firstgiving.com/oar

Once you're at the firstgiving site, select "Get Started" and select RUN FOR AUTISM - America from the list of events.

2. If you have not already done so, register for the event on your own at the official race website: http://www.ingmiamimarathon.com/Registration/Register.cfm (Miami Marathon) or http://www.tropical5k.com/Registration/ (Tropical 5K)

All participants pay a $25 team registration fee during sign-up.

This fee helps recover a portion of the costs associated with the materials provided and administrative expenses.  OAR asks each team member for this contribution to help keep the maximum amount of money raised going directly towards autism research.
