Family or Group Team Captain Instruction Guide
The Especially for You® Race Against Breast Cancer used a new and improved system last year to help
participants register. This year, since we are requiring every participant register online, this document
will help serve as a guide to help set up your team along with the registration process.
Signing up
Step 1. Creating Your Team


Go to http://www.especiallyforyourace.org/efy/. This is the Especially for You® Race Against Breast Cancer
website where you will be able to create and manage your team (change t-shirt size, switch race categories,
etc.), as well as where your individual team members will go to register under your team.
Under the ‘register’ tab please choose which group you are creating: ‘Family or Group Team.’
This would be a group of family &/or friends, church organizations, Girl or
Boy Scout Troops, etc…
This would be a business that’s paying for a portion or all of the employee’s
registration.
Step 2. After clicking on which team you’re creating (Family or Group Team), click the blue tab
that says ‘Register & Create Family/Group Team Sign Up.’

Here is the spot that will allow you to do the following:
Edit Team – Allows you to edit your initial options and to add some more.
Logo – You can upload your family team logo to the website. Click “Social Settings”& then browse. Your image file
needs to be in jpeg, png, or gif.
View Members – This will show you who has joined your team and their status.
Join – Click the box that says “Send Email” (under Join & Share) and you can send that registration URL to all of
your team members.
Add & Change Captains – You can share the Captain responsibilities with others - they will then be able to see this
same Team Set-up page.
If you notice someone on your team has incorrect information, only they can change it for security and privacy
purposes. They can simply log back in where they registered and modify their Profile to update information.
Removing a member will remove them from the race, and fees they may have paid will not be refunded.
That is all there is. We hope you like the improvements we have made this year!
If you have questions, please feel free to check our website www.especiallyforyourace.org for further Team Captain
information, send us an email or call us. We are happy to help!
