Refund Option
The Refund Option is like buying registration insurance that protects you from unexpected events. We realize that life happens and sometimes it's not possible or advisable for runners to participate in a race. Sometimes runners suffer injuries while training, learn that they're pregnant, get called to perform military duty, lose a job, or must attend to a family emergency. Sometimes races get cancelled due to acts of God. If you buy a Refund Option you can request a refund at any time before the race.
Refund Option Costs
5k (shoes): $5
Barefoot 5k: $5
Canicross 5k: $5
10k: $5

Refund Option Benefits
If you purchase the Refund Option you may request a refund of your base entry fee and any other merchandise purchases. Online processing fees and the Refund Option cost are not included.
Refund Option Rules
You must purchase the Refund Option at the time of registration. Requests for a refund must be done in writing prior to race day. Refunds will be credited to the credit card that you used at the time of registration. No cash or checks will be sent. Refunds will be processed by Racewire, our online registration provider. If the race is cancelled you may request a refund. If you defer your race entry to the 2015 event you will also retain the Refund Option.
Deferral Policy
If you cannot attend the race for any reason you may request a deferral to the next year. Requests must be made in writting by 6:00 PM (EST) on Friday 4/25/14.
Cancellation Policy
Although rare sometimes races must be cancelled due to unexpected unsafe race conditions -- i.e. Hurricane Irene 8/28/11 and Sandy 10/30/12. If there is an event due to an act of God that is beyond the Race Director's control -- i.e. hurricane, dangerously high heat index >105, or a state of emergency is declared by municipal authorities the race will be cancelled. If a race is cancelled due to an act of God it will not be postponed and no refunds will be given.
