Refund Policy

Refund Policy: Due to the costs incurred from processing fees and costs of race operations, no cash/credit card refunds will be made. However, you may transfer your entry to another runner by accessing your personal RunSignUp account and managing your race entry. You may also defer your entry to our 2024 event by contacting us using the contact form on the www.ucbireedyriverrun.com website BEFORE March 23, 2023

Baby Strollers and Pets

While we love babies and pets, our race course's characteristics (some narrow paths and tight turns) do not allow for either baby joggers/strollers or pets on leashes. Thank you for your understanding. 

Bandits

Bandits are strictly prohibited at Greenville Track Club events. A bandit is anyone who participates in an event without registering and without an official race number. This includes running on the race route during the event times (7:20 am until 10:00 am). This is not only a safety issue, as race officials are unable to identify bandits in the case of an emergency, but also a drain on event resources. If caught, bandits will be requested to leave the race course and event area immediately. It may also impact the bandit's eligibility to participate in future Greenville Track Club events and program. Thank you for your consideration and understanding.
