!! Waitlist, Transfers & Refunds !!
The waitlist will close on Wednesday, November 13th. The last day to request a refund (please read below) or transfer is Wednesday, November 13th. No refunds or transfer requests will be processed after November 13th for any reason. Thank you for your cooperation.
Waitlist & Refunds
This is a typically a "sell-out" race and will have a waitlist. If you can no longer attend the race, a refund may be requested by sending a message to office@mcrrc.org. If there is an active waitlist at the time of the request, the refund will be processed. If there is NOT an active waitlist at the time of the request, there will be no refund and you will be encouraged to instead consider a Participant Transfer (see below). REFUNDS WILL NOT BE PROCESSED WITHOUT THE PRESENCE OF A WAITLIST. The last day to request a refund is Wednesday, November 13th.
Transfers
Participants are welcome to find someone else to take your place. In order to transfer your bib to a new participant, please contact office@mcrrc.org with the following information: Your full name (as it appears in registration), the full name of the person you are transferring to, and the email address of the person you are transferring to. Please note the race team does NOT handle the financial aspects of the transfer. That is for you to work out personally, with the participant taking your place. The last day to request a transfer is Wednesday, November 13th.
Please do not allow someone else to run using your bib, or accept another person's bib for yourself. Should the runner require medical attention, we will be unable to identify them or their emergency contacts. Please, do not put our race staff in this position -- we thank you for your attention.
Race Cancellation
Due to the time of year, Run Under the Lights can experience some harsh and unpredictable weather. Should the field be too wet to use, the race may be cancelled & refunds will be processed. Please note that heavy, soaking rain in the days PRIOR to race day, can sometimes be enough to determine the field unusable. This decision will be made as expeditiously as possible, by Seneca Creek State Park officials as well as City of Gaithersburg event staff; however, as you know, such decisions may also be made at the last minute. Please refer to the sections above if you are no longer able to participate for personal reasons.
Purchased Shirts
In the event of race cancellation, participant refund, or participant transfer, REFUNDS WILL NOT BE PROVIDED FOR SHIRT ORDERS. If you no longer plan to participate in the race, you will be provided with instructions to pickup the shirt that you purchased. We are unable to change the size ordered or cancel pre-purchased race shirts.
