Teams

Cycle For Air Teams, ideally made up of a minimum of four team members, are comprised of corporations, friends, families, and first responders all riding for those who have been affected by lung disease. Once you register you will have access to tools to help ensure you have a great team experience.

A team captain gathers together friends, family and co-workers. Each team captain helps guide their team members, from online registration, to setting and achieving their fundraising goal, to seeing them through to the finish line. Being a team captain is a fun and rewarding experience. Are you ready to make Every Mile Count?
