It's easy! Simply click on the "Register for the Race" button on the left side of this page, follow the link to register online, and follow the prompts from there.
Following are some common questions related to Fundraising and registration:
Q: Exactly how does the online process work for registering as a fundraiser?
A: During the online registration process, you will be asked if you would like to create an online fundraising account. Click "yes" and your fundraising will be created.
After registering for the race, you will receive 2 emails from active.com:
1) A confirmation that you have successfully registered for the race
2) A confirmation that your fundraising page has been created. This will include a link to your personal fundraising page.
Q: I registered for the race by completing an entry form and did not register online. Can I still fundraise.
A: Yes you can. Simply visit www.active.com/donate/2010kingofthehill5k to create your own fundraising page.
Q: Can I register for the race without fundraising?
A: Yes you can. During the online registration process, you will be asked if you want to create an online fundraising account. Skip this option to register for the race only.
Q: I have registered for the race as a Fundraiser and created my fundraising page. Now how do I get back to my fundraising page to make changes and start inviting people?
A: Following the successful creation of your page, Active.com will email you a confirmation that will include links to your "admin" page so you can customize and share with friends & family as well as a direct link to the page your friends and family will visit to sponsor you.
Q: I created my fundraising page, but when I clicked the Search button at the "Sponsor a Participant Page" to get a list of participants, my name wasn't listed.
A: While you have immediate access to the page you created to start customizing and even sending emails out to get sponsors, it may take up to 24 hours for your name to be listed on the "master list" of fundraiser/participants at Active.com. If your name does not appear on the list within a day of establishing your fundraiser page, contact the number shown at the bottom of this page and we'll assist you.

A: Have no fear -- following is a list of resources to help you get the ball rolling! In addition, there are other helpful resources at your fundraising page.
