  • 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.
