A: All in-person and virtual runners who registered on TeamRaiser by May 16 are guaranteed their shirt size. If you registered after May 16, shirts will be available on a first come, first serve basis at the Brigham Team Tent on Boston Common starting at 6:30am on race day and sizes are not guaranteed. Virtual participant t-shirts will be mailed out via FedEx the week of 6/2 and In-Person participant t-shirts will be mailed out via FedEx the week of 6/9. Team Brigham shirts are different than the B.A.A. shirt that you can pick-up on race day.
Q: Are there fundraising incentives?
A: Yes! You can qualify for great incentives when you go above and beyond your fundraising commitment. Everyone who kicks-off their fundraising with a self-gift of $50 or more will receive one entry into a chance drawing for Red Sox Field Box tickets! Plus, any participant who raises $150 or more on Global Running Day (Wednesday, June 4) will be entered into a chance drawing for a Run Brigham YETI cooler!
Q: When will I get my fundraising incentives?
A: All fundraising incentives will be mailed to runners in July/August to the address you registered on TeamRaiser with. If you have moved, please notify the Brigham Running Team at team@bwh.harvard.edu ASAP.
Thank you once again for joining us! If you have any questions, please contact team@bwh.harvard.edu.
From start to finish,
Lauren, Ally, and Ali
