• Serious illness or death of an immediate family member
• Vehicle breakdown or traffic accident while traveling to the event
• Severe weather that makes travel impossible or unsafe
• Job loss or involuntary layoff
• Required work relocation (under certain circumstances)

Not able to participate this year?

REFUND POLICY: THERE ARE NO REFUNDS FOR EVENTS, NO EXCEPTIONS.

IF YOU CANNOT RACE IN THE EVENT FOR WHICH YOU ARE REGISTERED, AND YOU DID NOT PURCHASE THE INSURANCE, YOU CAN DO ONE OF THE FOLLOWING ONLINE PRIOR TO THE EVENT, ON THE YEAR OF YOUR REGISTRATION. 

• Deferrals - Transfer to next year ($25.00) at least 4 days prior to the event.
• Transfer - To a different race ($10.00) at least 7 days prior to the event
• Transfer - To a different distance (free) at least 4 days prior to the event
• Transfer - To another participant (free) at least 4 days prior to the event

NO DEFERRALS OR TRANSFERS ARE PERMITTED AFTER THE EVENT.

Why do we charge for deferals?

Most requests for deferrals come after we have already ordered and paid for supplies (medals, bibs, chips, food, etc.) for the race.  The deferral fee helps offset some of these costs.  Transfers to another destination or person, on the other hand, are for the same event and do not incur extra costs.
