Transgender and non-binary runners are encouraged to participate! We will accept every transgender and non-binary runner’s self-declared gender category at registration and no one may challenge a runner’s self-declaration.

How do I change my Race distance?

On Runsignup, you have the ability to move from one distance to another prior to the event. If you would like to downgrade to a shorter distance, you can, but you will not receive a refund (and cannot change it back on your own).

If you would like to upgrade, your original order is removed and you will be issued a credit to re-register for another distance, AT THE PRICE OF THE OTHER DISTANCE ON THE DATE OF THE ORIGINAL ORDER. You will be directed to re-register.

Are your races new parent friendly?
