Team Captains

We couldn’t do the Biz Dash without the tremendous support of our Team Captains! As the main point of contact between the event staff and your company team, we want to make sure you have all the info you need to stay organized and increase your team participation. Be on the lookout for emails from the St. Louis Sports Commission (info@stlsports.org) as we get closer to the event.

Reach Out to Us!

If you have questions or need additional information to make your team registration as smooth as possible, please reach out directly to the St. Louis Sports Commission staff through our contact form.

***Being the Team Captain does not automatically register you for the Biz Dash 5K. You will need to go through RunSignUp and register yourself after creating your team.

Team Starter Packs

Team starter packs include a set amount of race entries and a discounted team meeting space. A Biz Dash staff member will also set up your team for you and notify you when it's ready for employees to join. It's the one stop shop!

Add To Your Wellness Program!

With health and wellness at the heart of the Biz Dash, it’s a perfect event to add to your company’s wellness program! Looking to recruit more team participants? Talk to your Human Resources department about adding it to the calendar and employees can earn incentive/wellness points by completing the 5K. As communication is sent out company-wide, make sure the Biz Dash 5K is included in those event opportunities. Whether it’s in-person or virtual, it’s a great way to get outside and be active.

Recruitment Tools

Choose from a handful of elements to assist in recruiting team members! Copy/paste captions and download graphics for your internal communications.

Reserve A Team Meeting Space!

Make sure your team has a spot to hang out, enjoy your food and beverages, and refuel after the race in the Spire Team Village. Options and pricing to be released in January/February 2025.

Team captains can purchase a team meeting space via a Team Starter Pack (with a set amount of race entries and a discounted team space) or they can purchase à la carte via the Captain Store in RunSignUp.

Team spaces are limited and we will close reservations once they are sold out, even if it is before the deadline. Larger sized spaces sell out first so make sure to reserve yours early! Only team captains can choose what size they would like. It is recommended that you determine the number of participants on your team before you purchase a team meeting space.

Locations will be determined by the Biz Dash event management when payment is received. The map of team spaces will be released the Saturday before the event.
