FAQs

We understand how important the Greenbrier Half Marathon is to our runners, which is why we’re committed to providing a seamless race experience. If we’re forced to cancel before the race begins for any reason, you will receive your entire registration fee back in the form of race credit, which will not expire for one year and can be applied to any Capstone Races event.

We’ve also waived our normal deferral fee, giving you the flexibility to defer your registration for race credit at no extra charge.

Please note that our “No Refund” and “No Transfer” policies will still be in effect for this race. Thank you for your understanding and we look forward to providing a memorable race experience for you.

The race is limited to the first 1,000 participants, regardless of distance.

You may change your distance by filling out the change race distance form listed at the top of this page until 6:00 PM on Friday, May 11.  If you do not change your race distance either online or in person with a Resort Races Collection staff member prior to the race start, you will be disqualified from the event.

We do not charge an administrative fee to change your distance. There is no charge to go down in distance, but if you choose a longer distance, you will need to pay the difference between the distances.

The Greenbrier Half Marathon reserves the right to reject any entry. Also, we adhere to the standard running industry policy. All entry fees are non-refundable and non-transferable. This is noted on our registration application and when you register for our events you must agree to this policy. You may not give or sell your number to another individual – if you do, this will result in your disqualification as well as the runner who uses your race number.

Entry Fees will only be awarded as race credit if the event were to be canceled prior to May 11th, 2024. All fees and associated costs (including optional product purchases, spectator tickets, and donations), paid in registration for this Event are not refundable for any reason under any circumstances, including but not limited to injury, a scheduling conflict, and/or event cancellation.

If you are unable to attend the race, you can defer your registration for credit towards a future Capstone race.

There are two steps to deferring your race entry:
Step 1: You can defer to next year’s event by filling out the Deferral Form (coming soon.)

The deadline to defer is 10 days out from the event – Wednesday, April 30, 2025 at 11:59 PM. Late deferrals will not be accepted. When you defer your race entry credit for your entry will be applied to your email address.

Step 2: When next year’s race opens, you must register for the event to complete your deferral. You must use the email address you deferred with (and select a distance at the top of the page) in order for your prior year’s race credit to be recognized and applied.

All you will need is a photo ID. If you are picking up for a friend or family member you will need their photo ID (picture of ID is fine).

No, race day registration will not be available. The deadline to register is Friday, May 10, 2024 at 6 PM.

There not will not be official pacers for the 2024 event.

The time limit for this event is 3 hours and 30 minutes, which is a 16-minute per mile pace. The cutoff time is determined by our event permit, which permits us to use the roads, police support and other city resources for a specified period of time. After the permitted period ends, roads will reopen and we will no longer be able to provide participants with critical course support, including road closures, police and medical coverage, hydrations stations and course markings.

When the course closes at the cutoff time, any remaining participants must move off of the roads and onto a sidewalk. Anyone who decides to utilize the course route before or after the permitted time will not be considered an active participant and must follow pedestrian laws. Participants who do not meet the cutoff time will not receive an official time.

We always provide water at each station and some type of sports drink. A list of hydration station locations can be found on our course webpage.

Non-resort guests will park in the Train Lot, located off Route 60 (315 W Main St, White Sulphur Springs, WV 24986). From the Train Lot, participants and spectators will take a shuttle to the North Entrance of the Resort. Participants staying at the resort are encouraged to use either valet or self parking on resort property.

Races are held, rain or shine, unless we determine that conditions are too dangerous. This will be based on a prudent decision made on race weekend or race day by Race Officials and local law enforcement officials. If the race is cancelled due to inclement weather there will be neither refunds nor transfers. This position is consistent with USA Track & Field recommendations and with the protocol of sharing the risks associated with the sport of running. In the event of inclement weather or unforeseen circumstances, Capstone Event Group reserves the right to alter, cancel or eliminate any/all portions of the race.

If there is inclement weather during the race, it is your responsibility as a race participant to follow instruction from race officials and law enforcement in regards to inclement weather. If you disregard instructions from race officials, you are doing so at your own risk.
