Training Team entry fees are non-refundable and entries are non-transferable, no exceptions. Once we receive your entry, you will not receive a refund if you cannot participate or are unable to complete the program.
You may defer your 2023 Sports Backers Half Marathon Training Team entry to the 2024 Half Marathon Training Team through August 29 for $20. After that date, there will be no more deferrals.
Your free entry in the 2023 CarMax Richmond Half Marathon, by itself, may not be deferred to the 2024 event.
If you choose to run the Allianz Partners Richmond 8k or the virtual event, rather than the CarMax Richmond Half Marathon, on November 11 you may do so, as long as the distance has not sold out, for no additional cost.
Sports Backers invests in the future of active living in our region through our youth programs – Kids On The Move and the Active Living Leadership ALL Stars. From the youngest kids getting an opportunity to be a part of a running or fitness club, reaping the socio-emotional benefits while moving more, to those on their way to adulthood and applying to college, Sports Backers is passionate about supporting Richmond region youth. Your donation makes it possible for us to support the most important part of our community – our kids. They are the future and we know that by investing in them and instilling healthy habits now, it benefits us all.
