Não consegui que toda a equipe assinasse o formulário de isenção de responsabilidade por lesões. O que eu faço?
O formulário de isenção de responsabilidade por lesões é um documento que precisa ser assinado por todos corredores antes de participar na corrida. Se você não conseguir enviar todas as assinaturas para nós em tempo hábil, pedimos que pelo menos informe os nomes dos corredores na ordem certa que vão correr. Poderemos aceitar as assinaturas que faltam na barraca de inscrição no dia do evento. Quando tivermos todas as 10 assinaturas, iremos inscrever sua equipe e entregar o bastão de corrida.

Do you have a Club App?
Yes we do! We've upgraded your entire race experience pre and post-race, so you can stay motivated for the iconic Bloomberg Square Mile Relay all year round.
For the first time, live relay events will now be part of the Square Mile Club app. This means you can find out key information about when the relay hits your city, connect with teammates, and even set up a training group to motivate and encourage each other in the run-up to the race.
On race day, you’ll have all the event information at the tap of a finger, and most importantly of all, you’ll be able to check live race results and rankings during and after the event.
How do I earn points?
Points are earned through a wide range of activities, tracked through the app. If you complete a virtual challenge or race, bonus points will be available!
For more information about points, please check out the Club Support.
What is a ‘virtual’ race or challenge?
A ‘virtual’ race or challenge enables you to participate in an event wherever you are in the world. Virtual walking, running or cycling works exactly the same as any other type of activity - you can do it in any location, at any pace, inside on stationery equipment or outside on the street, in a park, or even in another country!
Once you are a member of the Square Mile Club you will have access to all our ‘virtual’ races and challenges.
How can I access the Club?
Who can join the Club?
Anyone can join the Square Mile Club as long as they are employed by a company, and register under their company’s name. You do not need to have participated in a Bloomberg Square Mile Relay race, but please note that any new companies will need to be verified.
What if I encounter an error during the login or registration process?
If you come across an error, or are directed to an error webpage, please re-start the login or registration process and try again.
If you repeatedly face the problem, please take a screenshot of the issue you encounter and head to Club Support.
