Overview-Shared

Overview

The registration period will be August 3rd - September 4th, or when a team has filled, whichever comes first.
Our Fall 2026 season will begin the week of August 24th. See individual sites for specific details.
Our standard schedule is to practice 2x a week for 10 weeks, but schedules will vary by site.
Our different regions will wrap up towards mid-November. A season-culminating 5K event is scheduled for each region. Please visit our 5K Tab to learn more.

Registration Process and Lottery

In an effort to make our program more equitable and accessible to families, all GOTR CVABR teams will start their registration process in lottery mode. Teams will spend at least a week in lottery mode, before the lottery will be run and a team will be selected.

If a team has more registrations than the maximum number of spots available, the lottery will select the team at random and the reaminder of participants will be put on a waiting list.

If a team has less registrations than the maximum number of spots on the team, the lottery will award everyone in the lottery a spot on the team and then the registration will shift to first come first serve for the remaining spots.

The date that a lottery will be run for teams varies based on the school calendar and the start of the GOTR season in your area. The lottery date for your school/ site is visible on our Our Locations tab and in the online program registration.

All families will be contacted once the lottery has been run to inform them of their registration status and next steps.
