Over the last few years, we have spent more time working on developing the interest of teams to participating in the Run for Clean Air. Per our definition, a team is any group of four or more people that register under whatever team name they prefer. Last year, we had 14 teams,and two team prizes were handed out for
  1. most runners brought to the Run, and
  2. fastest team time (calculated via the top four team member's times added together).
The prizes that were handed out for teams in 2009 were a number of free passes for whitewater rafting on regional rivers (through Cascade Outdoors) and day passes to Dollywood. We plan to offer similar prizes in 2010 although the exact prizes may change. One of our new prizes will be passes to Wahoo Ziplines. There will also a team raffle prize pack!

We very much appreciate all our teams' participation and thus developed this page to show off what teams are joining in the fun! See below for the teams that participated in in the past. Team photos are included as (if have them)! In 2010 we will try to get pictures of all the teams that come to run or walk.

2007 Teams
In 2007, B&W Y-12 actually had the fastest time and the most runners, but we give only one prize per team so Alstom Power received the fastest time award (as they were closes behind in 2nd place) while BWXT received the most runners award. Here's some photos of our 2007 Teams! Click any picture to see a larger version.
