All sales are final. No refunds will be given, unless you are registered for a live race and the live race is cancelled by the event organizer due to COVID-19 or any of its variants (the "Pandemic") and/or governmental restrictions put in place as a result of or in connection with the Pandemic which make the live race unfeasible or impractical to run, in which case refunds will be given in accordance with the below. A date or venue change is not a cancellation.

To Transfer Your Registration to Another Runner:

1. The original runner must log into their Enmotive account and scroll down to find their existing race registration under “Current and Upcoming Events.”
2. Click the blue “Actions” button to the right of the race name, and then “Transfer Registration.”
3. Enter the new runner’s email address to begin the transfer process.
4. The new runner will then receive an email from Enmotive with a link to complete the transfer.
5. After clicking the transfer link in the Enmotive email, scroll down to click the green “Accept transfer” button.
6. The new runner will complete the registration process and will be asked to pay the full registration fee + $10 transfer fee. The original runner will be refunded the full registration amount back to the original payment in 3-5 business days. The refund will not contain any donations or products purchased.

If the transaction is not completed by the new runner within 48 hours of the email sent, the transfer request is cancelled, and the registration will remain in the original runner’s name.

The half marathon course is certified and accurate according to USATF standards. However, your GPS measurement of the course is bound to be different and will most likely show the distance covered to be “long.” This is normal, and here's a very technical explanation why: In GPS We Trust.

There will be an award presentation for the top three male and female overall finishers in the 5K and half marathon following the race at the post-race party. If you won your age group but did not finish top three overall, there will be no presentation as your award will be emailed to you following the race.

Checks will be mailed 6-8 weeks after the race.

Age group awards will be sent out 4-6 weeks after the event date.

More info will be released on what the award will look like, but we’re bringing back an award you can take home and proudly display for overall and age group winners!

You can expect to receive this about 4-6 weeks after the event. If you already registered prior to winning, no worries, we can refund your account and apply the code!
