Frequently Asked Questions
What if I can’t run the race?
Entry fees are non-refundable. This means once we have received your entry, you will not receive a refund if you cannot participate.
We allow you to transfer your entry to another person for a fee of $10. This is only allowed up until seven days before the event. We also allow you to transfer your entry to another event produced by Colorado Runner Events for a fee of $10. This is allowed up until 14 days before the event.
We can also mail your packet to you free of charge if the above options have closed.
To transfer your entry or have your packet mailed, please see each race website.
Can I switch distances?
Yes, if you register for the race and then would like to switch to a shorter distance, please let us know a day before the race (so we can update the database with the correct bib numbers). There are no refunds if you switch to a shorter distance.
If you would like to go up in distance, you will need to pay the difference in price from your entry to the distance you would like to run before we will switch you. If you do this after the price break, you will also need to pay the increase in price break (IE – you paid $50 for the early registration 25K but would like to switch to the 50K two weeks before the race, you will owe the difference between $50 and $85, which is $35).
Please fill out the contact form if you wish to switch your distance at any event (be sure to include which event you are running in comments box).
Will the race be cancelled or postponed due to inclement weather?
Colorado Runner Events will not be cancel or postpone an event due to cold temperatures, snow, rain, wind or any other inclement weather.
