REFUND OPTIONS
In order to facilitate refunds to your participants, you must have money in the race's Refund Reserve. Some money may already be held back, but you may need to increase this amount to handle all participants that request a refund. RunSignup has multiple options to get money added to the reserve to help make this process easier.
SET UP THE REFUND RESERVE

There are 6 options to add funds to the Refund Reserve:
- Carryover from Future Registrations. If you anticipate more registrations you can hold back future registration fees by setting an amount to be held back in the Additional Refund Reserve field and saving the settings.
- Transfer Settled Amount to Reserve. If there are funds that haven't been paid out to the race yet you can move these funds directly to the reserve using the Move Money to Refund Reserve option.
- Transfer Money from Other Linked Races. If you have other races that already have money held back into their respective reserves you can move these funds by using the Transfer Money from Other Races feature.
- Add funds via Credit/Debit Card. Click Add to Refund Reserve by Credit Card to add a custom amount to the reserve. Note: This transaction has to settle with the credit card network before it's available to use.
- Mail RunSignup a Check. Mail a check to RunSignup and once deposited it will get added to the reserve. Please note your Race Name and Race ID in the memo line.
- ACH funds to RunSignup. This option is faster than a check. For more info please contact finance@runsignup.com.
