8. Why do I have to pay a deferral fee?
There are several reasons for the deferral fee. First, we’ve already counted you in our orders for shirts, medals, bags, food, etc. – things we place orders for months in advance. It also covers the costs of making the adjustments and retaining the records.
9. May I transfer my registration to another runner?
No, we do not allow for registration transfers. If another runner is caught running with your bib intentionally you and the other runner will be barred from joining in our events again.
10. I already registered to run live, but did not select to get my packet mailed to me. How can I add that on?
Visit your Run Sign Up Profile HERE and select “Manage Add ons.” From there, you will be able to add on the packet mailing option for $30. Bibs & Shirts will be mailed by priority mail prior to the race with a trackable link. Medals will be distributed after the race.
