This policy will cover you and allow you to cancel your registration if you are unable to make it to the race due to illness and various other reasons. Like all insurance policies there are exclusions so please read the fine print. The insurance does not cover your entry fee if we are forced to cancel the event because of the pandemic or other extenuating circumstances.
If you purchased the Enhanced Refund Protection during registration and are looking for a refund, you can file your claim here: https://requestmyrefund.com/enhancedrefundprogram/refund.
You can review the terms and conditions in your original confirmation email to see if you are eligible for a refund.
