REFUND/CANCELLATION POLICY
Cancellation Policy: All Lace Up Running events proceed rain, shine, or snow, or cold. For that reason, we have a strict no-refund policy.
In the event of extreme weather, the start time of this event may be delayed by up to half an hour. Past this time, the event course may be shortened or altered to protect the participants.
If conditions turn into lightning, ice, or become unsafe, the event may be cancelled. Event changes and cancellations are at the discretion of the Race Director.
We always strive to produce a full and safe sporting event, but sometimes the weather conditions can affect those plans.
A lot of hours, days, and even months go into planning a sporting event, and we do so with the best intentions. Unfortunately, no one can control the weather, and race directors are not the exceptions.
Our goal is to always produce a full event as scheduled and only modify these plans due to safety concerns, some of which can be caused by weather conditions.
Thank you for your understanding of these policies, and we appreciate your participation.
If you are unable to participate in the event, or the event is canceled, you can still receive your packet, shirt, and medal, and you simply run the race on your own time on your own course. See our virtual race information for complete details.
