Unless you're in the Olympics, there is no such thing as team competition.
Wildflower is a well-known event nationwide among athletes and spectators.

Hundreds of volunteers and guests will attend Wildflower this year, organizers said in a press release. Volunteers will dedicate 12 hours of their time during the weekend to make the event run smoothly. Volunteer work ranges from preparing food for volunteers to checking bikes for the racers to marking the course for each race.
