Teams in the Capital Challenge must be captained by the head of a government agency (cabinet or subcabinet), senator, representative, sitting federal judge, on-air broadcast journalist, print journalist, and whom ever the race director thinks is important enough to let enter. The team captain must run the race -- no surrogates. Other team members must come from the captain's agency or organization -- no ringers. Running a 5 mile race is NOT torture (nor is it metric).
