Step 1: Find 8-10 Teammates

Teams are comprised of 8 - 10 individuals, and you can have up to 12 people on your roster as alternates, but only 10 will participate in the race. You will need your teammates student numbers, emails, and availability for race heats.

If you don't have a team, check out the UBC Intramurals Free Agent Facebook Group.

Step 2: Decide if my team wants to compete competitively or Just For Fun

Teams have two options in how they can compete:

Step 3: Register for a Heat

If you are registering as a team, you will need to designate a captain (only the captain needs to register for the team). When you are ready to register, find a race time that works for you and/or your teammates, and follow the online registration process. Please ensure all your contact information is correct and up to date.

Step 4: Attend a mandatory safety clinic & in person practice session

After successfully registering, the captain will receive a confirmation email. This email will contain the following important information and next steps:

1. Mandatory safety clinics including: dates, times, and location will be provided in the captains package email. Safety clinics operate on a drop-in basis, but one team member must attend. Failure to not attend a safety clinic will make you ineligible to practice or race.
2. Waiver link, please have yourself and your team members sign this.
3. A link to register for the in person practice session taking place September 20 - 21, 2025.

Step 5: Enter Your Roster

Following registration closing, all captains will receive their 'Team ID' and 'access code' in their 'captains package email' on September 16, 2025. Captains will then be able to enter their roster information up until Wednesday, September 24, 2025 at 4:59PM (roster deadline). Specific instructions prior to in person practice sessions and race day will be emailed to you over the following days.
