No. You may not sell or transfer your bib to another person. Please do not do this as you jeopardize not only that runners safety but the safety of other runners on the course. We offer a very flexible refund policy in the event you cannot race. It is posted under Event Info.
This is not only unfair because everyone else paid the entry fee but it is truly a safety issue. We plan the course, the medical, the water, the replacement gels/fluids based upon the total entrants. If you bandit the race you are jeopardizing the safety of our legitimate runners. We also provide finish medals to those who have registered and if you, as a bandit, take a medal there is a chance that others (again who legitimately entered to run the race) will not receive one. Not cool.
Please refer to our refund policy posted online.
