Are there refunds, exchanges, or transfers?

Because of significant upfront costs, all registrations are non-refundable and non-transferable, consistent with industry standards. Once your entry has been received and accepted, no refunds will be issued.

This policy also applies if the event is cancelled on race day or race weekend due to weather, Acts of God, public emergencies, or other circumstances outside of our control. If you are unable to participate for any reason, your registration cannot be deferred, transferred, sold, or given to another participant.

The person-to-person sale or transfer of race registrations and bibs is strictly prohibited under our race rules. Please do not purchase registrations or bibs being offered by individuals on social media, Facebook groups, marketplaces, or other third-party platforms. Fraudulent registration and bib-sale transactions do occur, and we cannot verify or honor registrations purchased from another individual. The only valid registrations are those obtained directly through our official registration process.

We appreciate your understanding. These policies allow us to apply the same rules fairly and consistently to all participants while ensuring the safety and integrity of the event.
