Our refund policy: We offer refunds only in cases of military deployment, airborne infectious disease, or a death in the family, but we do offer a generous deferral policy:

Tell us you're deferring so we can pull out your bib number for redeployment

Then simply go to the registration page of any future SHF race you want to defer into

Select Deferral or Transfer from a Previous Race ($10.00)

Done!

Consumer warning!

We use Active.com for registration, but we dont't like some of its practices.

Active.com adds $1.25 plus 7.00% processing fee to every registration up to $149.99

Don't buy a MAGAZINE subscription, unless you really want it.

Don't buy ACTIVE ADVANTAGE for $89, unless you plan to run at least 9 races this year, so your $10 discount per race breaks even

Don't buy REGISTRATION PROTECTION unless you're really really sure you won't run the race -- some race directors will gladly provide 100% refunds upon request (I'm speaking for myself) REGISTRATION PROTECTION must be completed more than 48 before an event. Don't wait till two days before the event

If a race web page offers EXPRESS REGISTRATION, you can jump past where it asks you to create a password for future registrations.
