FAQs

How do I come up with a funny name for my running group?

Start with running-related words and mix them with pop culture, puns, or your team’s personality. Humor usually comes from clever twists or exaggerations.

Can I use a team name someone else already used?

Absolutely! Most team names aren’t copyrighted — just make sure it resonates with your group and feels authentic.

Are there rules for naming a relay team in official races?

Usually not strict ones. Just avoid explicit language and make sure your name fits within the character limit on the registration form.

Should my name match our uniforms or colors?

It’s a fun bonus if it does, but not a requirement. Great names stand out with or without matching gear.

Can we change our team name mid-season?

Definitely — many teams rename themselves to match themes, races, or inside jokes as they evolve.
