CAN I HAVE MY MONEY REFUNDED?
No, but you may defer to the following year by logging into your account on www.runsignup.com, but you must do so by November 17th. How to defer a registration
CAN I CHANGE THE EVENT I AM REGISTERED FOR (OR CHANGE FROM IN-PERSON TO VIRTUAL or vice versa)
How to transfer to another event.
You may switch your registration from in-person to virtual or vice versa by November 20th. If you upgrade to an event that costs more, you will pay the difference (for example switching your registration from a virtual 5k to run in-person). If you switch to an event that costs less, the difference will not be refunded but treated as a generous donation to HRDC's Gallatin Valley Food Bank.

RACE DAY
TOILETS
There are port-a-potties at the Museum of the Rockies and by the aid stations on Wagon Wheel & Peace Pipe.
CAN I RUN/WALK WITH A STROLLER?
You can participate with a stroller and will not need to register children who ride in a stroller during the race. However, please note that without registration, children will not receive a race shirt. To reserve a race shirt for them, registration is required.
CAN I RUN WITH MY DOG?
We love our furry friends as much as you do, but unfortunately our insurance company can revoke our policy if dogs are on the premises. For the safety of the race, runners and dogs, we do NOT allow dogs at Huffing For Stuffing or on Museum of the Rockies grounds with the exception of service animals.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT FOR WEATHER?
We’ve had temperatures in November that range from -15 to 40. We would suggest being prepared for rain, snow, slush, or shine.
CAN I RUN WITH AN IPOD OR OTHER DEVICE?
Music devices and earbuds/earphones are permitted but discouraged. For your safety and the safety of those around you, it is recommended that you leave the music at home on race day.
WILL THERE BE A WAY TO STORE MY CLOTHING AT THE MUSEUM OF THE ROCKIES?
No, at this time we are unable to provide storage. Huffing For Stuffing is not responsible for any lost clothing or items.
WHAT AWARDS AND PRIZES ARE THERE AND WHAT TIME ARE THEY GIVEN?
We will be giving awards to overall finishers, male, female, and nonbinary in the TIMED 5K and 10K. Age group awards will be given to the top three winners in their age bracket (every 10 years). If you think you have won, stop by the Timing Tent after your race. Unclaimed awards will be held for 30 days.
