Definition of Team Captain: YOU!
As they say – the more the merrier – so why not form a team? Teams are an integral part of the IM OK 5K Run/Walk. Last year more than half of the participants were part of a team honoring or memorializing someone affected by epilepsy.
Team captains play a vital role and are key to the success of our event. Team members can consist of family, friends, co-workers, classmates, athletes or anyone else you can recruit. Your team can be as big or small as you want, and can consist of any combination of runners, walkers adults or youth. Each team must have a Team Name and an assigned Team Captain. In the spirit of friendly competition, awards will be presented (and bragging rights bestowed) to the largest team, most team spirit, and most money raised.
Where Do I Start?
By signing up to be a team captain and creating a personal fundraising page, you’re able to encourage your friends, family, and co-workers to join you for a morning of fun at the IM OK 5K to raise funds In Memory of Kaden benefiting the Epilepsy Foundation Central & South Texas. Together we can provide persons affected by epilepsy with help for today and hope for their future.an be as big or small as you want, and can consist of any combination of runners, walkers adults or youth.

Thank you for taking the first step towards making our event a great success. A Team Captain’s job is to motivate and encourage others to join your team, whether it is with coworkers, friends or family. Once the team is in place, the Team Captain also acts as the key liaison between their team and the Epilepsy Foundation Central & South Texas, which is organizing the IM OK 5K event. Remember, the more money you raise, the more aggressively we can support the children and families who are faced with epilepsy and need our help.
