REGISTRATION POLICIES
Refunds
All race registrations and product purchases are non-refundable, even in the event of race cancellation.
The only exception is for official military deployment (CED orders). Refunds WILL NOT be given for TDY or PCS orders. If you are deployed during the race, you may send a copy of your CED orders to usaf.marathon@us.af.mil to receive a refund of your race registration (product purchases are still non-refundable).
During registration, you have the option to purchase a protection plan which insures your registration and product purchases through a third party provider. Details of insurance policy can be found here.
If you have already registered and can no longer participate, you may defer your registration to the following year (see Deferrals section below).
Deferrals
If you are registered for an upcoming race but can no longer participate, you may defer your registration to the next year. Product purchases will NOT carry over; only your race registration.
The deferral window is open from August 15 – October 15. No deferrals will be accepted after October 15. Cost for all deferrals is $15.
To defer, go to our registration page and start a new registration. Select the option ‘Defer Your Registration,’ fill out the form, and complete the transaction.
*If you used a promo code for your original registration, the transfer cost will not be accurately reflected. Please email us at usaf.marathon@us.af.mil for special instructions.
Race Transfers
If you are already registered for either the in-person or virtual event, you may transfer to the other event.
The deadline to transfer into the in-person event is October 15, or whenever the event you want to transfer into sells out, whichever comes first. The deadline to transfer into the virtual event is December 8, or whenever the event you want to transfer into sells out, whichever comes first.
To transfer to the in-person/virtual event, go to our registration page and click the Transfer button. Sign in using the email and password you used during your initial registration. Click ‘To a New Sub-Event’, select your race registration, then follow the prompts to register for the new distance and complete your transfer.
There is no fee for a race transfer. If you’re transferring into a distance that costs less than what you already paid, there will be no refunds for the price difference.
*If you purchased additional products during your original registration, be sure to select them again when filling out your new registration. Your original payment will carry over.
*If you used a promo code for your original registration, the transfer cost will not be accurately reflected. Please email us at usaf.marathon@us.af.mil for special instructions.
Person-to-person transfers are NOT permitted. If you are registered and can no longer participate, you may defer your registration to the following year (see Deferrals section above).
Packet Pick-Up
Participants must pick up their packets at the Packet Pick-Up on Friday at packet pick-up or on Saturday if you pre-paid for race day packet pick-up. If you are unable to pick up your bib in person, you may have someone else pick up your race packet for you. To do so, you must fill out and sign a Bib Pick-Up Authorization Form and give it to your representative, along with a copy of your valid photo ID. Your representative must bring the signed form, copy of your valid photo ID, and their own valid photo ID to packet pick-up. Representatives without all three items will NOT be permitted to pick up your race packet, no exceptions.
