Wooden Shoe TulipFest Run

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY, ALL RUNNERS WILL NEED TO MAKE A CHOICE REGARDLESS OF PREVIOUS RESPONSES: 

After carefully considering options for the 2020 Wooden Shoe TulipFest, we have to share the sad news that the there will not be a WoodenShoe TulipFest this year. Thus, it has become evident that it will not be possible to hold the 2020 Wooden Shoe TulipFest 5k/10k and 1/2 Marathon.  As runners and fans of the farm ourselves, we understand the deep disappointment this will cause to our participants, as well as the impact this has on our sponsors, vendors, partners and community. All of us are heartbroken by this outcome. 

As a local school fundraiser, we make every effort to keep our costs to a minimum.  We have a no refund policy in order to preserve our ability to act as race directors while also protecting our program funds from being depleted, even in the event of a major disruption like the one we’re all experiencing. Early in the response to COVID-19 it had been our hope that a postponed date would allow for exceptions to our no refund policy however, with the cancellation of the festival we have had to reconsider.  Given that all funds used to support the race thus far have come from our school funded program account, our athletes would lose those fundraised monies directly.  To avoid this loss we have chosen to offer the following to our 2020 registered participants.  

All registered participants in the 5k/10k or Half Marathon will receive free transfer to either next year’s race (March 20, 2021) or to the 2022 race (scheduled for March 19, 2022).  Transfers cannot be processed automatically; participants must take this action themselves. Participants will have through the end June (June 30, 2020) to process their transfer and choose which future race to participate in.  PLEASE FOLLOW THESE STEPS:

• Go to the RunSignup homepage and login
• Select Profile from the drop down menu
• Click on MANAGE REGISTRATION to the right of the Wooden Shoe TulipFest Run link
• Click on TRANSFER EVENT in the upper right hand corner
• Click on the blue START TRANSFER button below your event registration information
• Select the YEAR and EVENT to which you would like to transfer
• Initial the waiver
• Your shirt size and emergency contact should already be filled in (make changes if necessary)
• Double check your information and click on the blue COMPLETE REGISTRATION

Registration for the 2021 and 2022 races will open in August each year.  We will continue to allow bib # transfer to another participant if you find that will be necessary in the future.  We will handle those situations through our race contact link when registration is open.

Thank you all for your continued support during this time.
