Set Up Your Team

To participate in the summer challenge, you must contact [email protected] to create your team, even if you have already done so. All previous teams are being deleted to create new divisions. There will be three divisions divided based on the number of team members. Please make sure each team member already has a ZAP account and a tag registered to their bike before reaching out to create your team. Get a ZAP tag and create an account by visiting the UMN Bike Center at Oak Street Ramp.

Can’t figure out your team members by the challenge start date? No worries! Teams can be created at any time during the challenge period, and ZAPs recorded before the creation of the team will still count towards your score. If you would like to participate but don’t have a team, let us know and we can place you on a team!

Scoring System

A team’s score is calculated by dividing the team’s total number of ZAPs by the number of team members. For example, if a team of 5 receives 30 total ZAPs within the challenge period, their team score will be 6. 

WINNERS!

The top team in each division will receive a gift card, a certificate, an optional social media shoutout, and bragging rights! Standings are updated daily. You can view them from your Dero ZAP homepage.
