What is your refund policy?
Entry Fees will only be awarded as race credit if the event were to be cancelled prior to December 4, 2021 due to COVID-19. 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.

How do I defer my registration to a future event?
Step 1: The deadline to defer is about 3 weeks before the event – Tuesday, November 12, 2021 at NOON – you can defer your entry for credit by filling out the deferral form. Once you defer your entry, credit will be applied to your email address. Please note the amount of credit you receive is equal to the amount you paid at registration (excluding handling fees). We’ve also waived the normal deferral fee.
Step 2: Deferring your race entry does NOT automatically register you for a future event. To use your credit, you must sign up for an upcoming Capstone race using the email address associated with your credit. The credit will automatically be applied at the time of your registration. When registering, you should see your credit appear here:
If you do not see your credit appear, please contact info@race131.com.
