Injured? Family plan a vacation without telling you? Just don’t want to race?
Life happens. We know. If you’ve signed up for an Endurance Evolution event and are unable to participate, for whatever reason, you may choose one of the following options:
Up to 30 days before the event date: Participants may request a refund of their entry fee, less $20 or may defer their entry to the following year’s event with no penalty.
15 to 30 days before the event date: No refunds are given within 30 days of an event, however participants may defer their registration to the following year’s event with no penalty. Within 15 days of an event no refunds or deferrals will be allowed.
Up to 15 days before the event, participants may request to switch to a shorter distance at the same event with no penalty. For example, a participant may switch from the marathon to the half marathon. Participants may not switch to a longer distance.
A few additional tidbits to note:
- Participants must email Endurance Evolution (registration@endruanceevolution.com) at least 30 days before the following year’s event in order to complete the deferral process.
- Within 15 days of an event no refunds or deferrals will be allowed.
- Entries may only be deferred one time and are only valid for the following year’s event.
- Entries and deferrals may not be transferred to another participant.
- Entires and deferrals may not be transferred to another Endurance Evolution event.
- Anyone who participates in an Endurance Evolution event must be properly registered and must have paid any required registration fees prior to the start of the event.
- Individuals who participate in any Endurance Evolution event without registering will be removed from the race.
- Endurance Evolution reserves the right to bar unregistered participants from future Endurance Evolution events.
- Unregistered individuals participating in Endurance Evolution events may also be subject to additional sanctions from USATF and/or RRCA.
Weather
If lightning or other severe weather is present within 30 minutes of the start of a race we will delay the start of all races by 30 minutes.
After 2 hours (total) of delay time the [longer distance] will be cancelled, however, the [shorter distance] will still proceed, and [longer distance] participants may choose to participate in the [shorter distance].
After an additional hour of delay (3 hours total) the race will be cancelled. Unfortunately we won’t be able to refund any entry fees, as we’ve already used them to pay for all the race expenses such as shirts, finisher’s medals, police and emergency services, permits, and food.
Timing and Results
When you step (or swim) to the starting line at one of our races, you’ll be competing against the rest of the competitors from the time the gun goes off, until you cross the finish line. When we say “Go!”, the race has started. The first one to cross the finish line is the winner. The second person to cross the finish line is second place, and so on. In other words, all overall placing and age group awards will be determined by gun time. Whenever chip timing is used, we will post chip/net times as a reference for our participants to know their actual net time for completing the event.
While we’ll try our best to let you know if these policies change, these policies are subject to change without notice. If you’ve got any questions, shoot us an email at info@enduranceevolution.com.
