C4 5K Run to Defeat Colorectal Cancer
The California Colorectal Cancer Coalition (C4) is a nonprofit organization made up of a diverse group of dedicated individuals from throughout California whose mission is to save lives and reduce suffering from colorectal cancer in all Californians.
Funds raised through the “Screen Your Gut - Save Your Butt” run will be used for the C4 Community Grants Program that aims to increase screening to prevent colorectal cancer development and detect existing cancers earlier when the outcomes are more favorable for patients.

Information About Starting a Team
If you are planning on forming a team to participate, follow these steps:
The Team Captain needs to mark "Fundraiser" rather than "Ticket" - this doesn't change the registration other than allow you to set up a team page. Then when new people register who want to join your team, they can select your team and either register as a fundraiser or just ticket. The amounts are system-level suggestions and the cost is the same to register for the event no matter which option you choose.
When registering, each completed registration (you can register one or many people all at the same time) is linked to a specific email address so you have to use a new email if you try to add more people at a different time.
1) Click on Registration
2) Select the race you want to enter
3) Enter the requested information and Add Ticket
4) The system will then ask you whether you want to join an existing team, register as an individual, or form your own team.
5) You then have the option of just completing the registration or adding additional team members. Each registration is added to your cart to pay. Once you complete the payment, you will receive an email confirmation.
