Why do I need to submit a commitment response?

Your commitment response will let your Team In Training staff know your decision to complete or drop from the season. If you choose to continue, you are pledging to LLS to meet your fundraising commitment and participate in your event. After you submit your commitment response, you will receive a confirmation email, will have access to your official event entry, and LLS will begin to confirm your event weekend selections.

What if I can no longer participate with Team In Training?
If you are unable to commit, there will be a decline link in the invitation email for you to click on. This will let us know you'll be discontinuing your participation this season and will save you from receiving reminder emails and calls in the future regarding this event.
What if I commit to Team In Training and later am unable to complete the event?
If you need to discontinue your participation in the Team In Training program after you’ve signed the commitment agreement for any reason other than injury, deployment, or pregnancy, you are still responsible for your full fundraising commitment. If you cannot continue with the program due to injury, deployment, or pregnancy, a doctor's note or copy of military orders must be submitted in order to be released of your obligation to fulfill your fundraising commitment. Funds cannot be deferred towards participation in a future event.
How do I obtain my event entry for America's Most Beautiful Bike Ride?
All Team In Training fundraising teammates and event weekend coaches will be provided with a complimentary entry to America’s Most Beautiful Bike Ride. Information pertaining to your ride entry will be asked of you within the Commitment & Event Weekend Reservations form. There is not a separate step you need to complete beyond your commitment form in order to receive your ride entry.
Where has Team In Training contracted rooms?
Please visit the Hotel tab for information about the hotel property, including address, room rate, and more.
What does it mean if my fundraising level says “Half Cost Covered” for hotel stay?
Teammates who commit to a fundraising level that includes “half cost” of a hotel stay will have two options:
- Select another specific teammate who is also fundraising at a “half cost” level to share a room with; neither teammate will be charged for the cost of the hotel room if both are fundraising for the same number of nights and select the same check-in/check-out dates. Team In Training will not pair teammates together; both teammates must request one another.
- Buy out the other half of the hotel room to have to yourself or bring guests. Rooms may be subject to additional fees for high occupancy. Room cost and occupancy fees are paid to LLS upon completion of the commitment form.
Teammates who commit to a fundraising level that covers the whole cost of the room will not be charged for their hotel stay and may choose to have guests in their room. Rooms may be subject to additional fees for high occupancy.
Can I bring guests to stay with me in my hotel room?
Guests in rooms are permitted as long as total occupancy does not exceed the hotel property’s limit.
- If you are fundraising for a whole hotel room OR are fundraising for half and buy out the other half, you may choose to have guests in your room.
- If you are fundraising for half of your hotel stay and choose to share a room with another teammate, both teammate roommates must agree on any guests staying in the room.
Additional fees may be charged for rooms with high occupancy.
How will I check in to my hotel room?
For rooms booked by Team In Training for teammates who are fundraising for hotel stay: All rooms are reserved under each teammate's name.
