St. Michaels Running Festival presented by Brooks

REFUND, DEFERRAL, TRANSFER, AND CANCELLATION POLICIES

We want to be completely transparent with our policies regarding refunds, deferrals, and cancellations. If you are interested in signing up for this race please read this section carefully prior to registering. All interested participants will be shown these policies during the registration process and must agree to adhere to them in order to be admitted to the event.

REFUNDS

Race registration fees (and the processing charge from RunSignup) are not refundable. These funds are used to pay for race premiums, permits, supplies, staffing, and other costs incurred before, during, and after the event is held. To be consistent and fair to everyone we cannot make exceptions to this policy.

DEFERRALS

We offer the option for registrants to defer their entry to the following year's event based on Charm City Run's General Deferral fee schedule:

• Until May 4, 2024 (2 weeks prior to race day) - $15.00
• May 5, 2024 - May 17, 2024 - $30.00

Please note that if your materials have been mailed to you, the deferral option is no longer available. To defer after 5/1 (if you have not had your race materials mailed to you) please email events@charmcityrun.com.

TRANSFERS

We offer the option for registrants to transfer their entry to another eligible participant up to May 17, 2024. After this deadline passes we are unable to allow transfers as race materials have been prepped for the event. Again, to be consistent and fair to everyone we cannot make exceptions to this policy. Registrants may transfer their entry to another registrant by going into their profile on runsignup.com and choosing "Manage Registration" next to the race.

CANCELLATION

2020 showed just how unpredictable our world can be, and the running industry was certainly no exception. We know that it's important to have as much information at your disposal when making a decision whether to sign up for a race or not, and we want you to know exactly what your options will be should the 2024 in-person race not be able to take place as originally planned. Our regular cancellation policy found here covers scenarios that could prompt the cancellation of an event including weather, local emergencies, public health emergencies, etc. If you have any questions about our cancellation policy please email us at events@charmcityrun.com PRIOR to registering.

DOWNGRADES & UPGRADES

If you would like to downgrade to a shorter race distance you can make that change through your RunSignup account. Log on, click “Manage Registration” next to the race, click “Transfer Event,” and select the distance. Distance upgrades and downgrades are available online and at the expo as long as space in the desired race is available. In the event that your desired distance is not available, you are able to defer to next year. For upgrades in distance (5k to 10k, 5k to half marathon, 10k to half marathon) registrants will pay the difference between their original entry fee and the prevailing fee for the new distance. There is no fee to downgrade your distance (half marathon to 10k, half marathon to 5k, 10k to 5k), and no refunds are given for downgrades.
