Tar Heel 10 Miler Race Credit

On Thursday, March 12 the 2020 Tar Heel 10 Miler & Fleet Feet 4 Mile Run event scheduled for April 18, 2020 was cancelled. Due to the severity of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) and recent developments from the NC DHHS this was the correct move to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.

All of our runners that were registered for the 2020 Tar Heel 10 Miler & Fleet Feet 4 Mile Run have received race credit equal to the amount each paid to register for the (excluding handling fees). This race credit is attached to the email address used at registration. While we have waived our normal deferral fee due to the uniqueness of this situation, we will not be issuing any refunds.
