Race Transfers - Event to Event
In the event that you are unable to race in an event that you are currently registered, race transfers to another one of our Series events in the SAME calendar year are possible up until 14 days from the race day you are currently registered for, requests MUST be received prior to the 14 day prior deadline. Only one transfer per fully paid registration is allowed. A transfer fee of $50 + Race Roster processing fees will be applied to ALL transfers, regardless of distance of the original registration. In order to initiate this process you will need to email Athlete Services - [email protected] Registration pricing differences will be applied if the transfer is to an event with a higher entry fee. If you have opted in for registration protection for your original race entry and choose to transfer to another event, this will nullify your policy and your new event entry will NOT be covered under your original policy.
Race Transfers - Athlete to Athlete
Transfers to another participant are available up until 21 days prior to the event (transfer must be COMPLETED by that time). A fee of $25 applies. This can be facilitated within your Race Roster athlete dashboard. If you have opted in for Registration Protection the policy does not transfer to the new athlete.
Changing Race Distances
Registered athletes can switch race distances in the SAME event (ex. from Sprint to Standard or Standard to Sprint) on their Race Roster athlete dashboard up until 21 days prior to the event. Refunds will not be issued for athletes 'racing down'. Sub-event transfers after 21 days must be requested to Athlete Services - [email protected] Sub-event transfers are subject to availability within each sub-event.
Cancellation due to weather or unsafe conditions:
An event may be delayed or cancelled due to adverse, inclement, or unsafe weather. Should the event be delayed, the starting time of the event will be moved back accordingly. The delay will be communicated to all participants. Event management team and local law enforcement have the authority to cancel an event if deemed unsafe to continue. If cancellation of an event takes place, please follow instructions of the event officials and local law enforcement personnel. Your entry fee is non-refundable in the event the race is cancelled due to adverse, inclement, or unsafe weather. Registration Protection does NOT cover cancellation due to weather. The only exception is if the event takes place and you are unable to get to it because of weather, i.e. a cancelled flight.
Advertised Courses:
All of our events and courses are planned well in advance and advertised in good faith as such. As with all events, permitting does not occur until closer to the event date by those agencies which we are required to submit our applications. As such, all courses are considered pending approval of final permit and may, due to unforeseen circumstances, such as construction, flooding or other uncontrollable acts and may be changed to ensure distance, permit approval and athlete safety. Course changes will be shared with registered athletes as soon as they have been confirmed with all stakeholders. Entry fees are non-refundable in the event of a course change. Registration protection does NOT cover change in desire to participate in the event of a course change.
COVID-19/ Global Pandemic:
Registration Protection does NOT reimburse for events cancelled or postponed due to any general restrictions imposed on traveling or gathering as a result of COVID-19/ Global Pandemic
