2027 TEAM SIGNUP & RACE REGISTRATION

Sign up.
Show up. Together.

Let the alumni team coordinator know which event you’re interested in. Choose one or both. Friends, family, and NMMI faculty and staff are welcome alongside alumni.

01 Open the combined team signup form.

02 Submit the form to send your details to the team coordinator.

03 Register separately with the race organizer when ready.

Team signup does not purchase a race entry, reserve lodging, or complete an official race waiver. No payment is collected here.

2027 Combined Team Signup

One form.
Either event. Or both.

NMMI alumni—and friends and family of alumni—are invited to join the team! Complete our Google Form to join Bataan, express interest in Día de los Muertos, or select both events.

Your responses are saved directly for the alumni team coordinator. You do not need to send a separate signup email. Contact details are used for event coordination and stay private. You can choose to display only your public roster name, class year(s), and selected event(s) on this website.

Official race registration and payment are separate. October 2027 event details remain pending.

Choose your challenge

Two ways to show up.
One reason to come together.

The miles are only part of it

Once a cadet.
Always part of the team.

The best part of the journey is who shares it with you. Bring the memories, reconnect with classmates, and make a few new stories along the way.

Alumni, friends, family, and NMMI faculty and staff are invited. Join as a marcher, runner, or member of the support team—and invite someone to share the experience.

Before the starting line

A few things to know.

Does this sign me up for the official race?

Use the combined team signup form for the alumni roster. You must also register and pay separately through the official event organizer. Bataan registration is available through ITS YOUR RACE. The October 2027 race announcement is pending.

Can friends and family join?

Yes. The NMMI Alumni Team welcomes alumni, friends, family, and NMMI faculty and staff. The combined signup form also offers a support-team option.

Can I join both events?

Absolutely. Select both events on the Google Form and choose a preferred distance for each event. You can also express interest while you decide.

Is the October 2027 date confirmed?

No. October is the planned alumni outing month. The Day of the Dead organizer currently lists earlier editions; the 2027 date, distances, venue, prices and registration link still need confirmation.

Where do I find Bataan logistics?

Check the official Bataan website for current entry categories, installation access, equipment requirements and packet pickup. The organizer lists packet pickup on March 18–19, 2027. Arrange travel around the organizer’s latest instructions.
