From the moment we begin to organise an event, we start to incur costs. Your entry fee is invested into the cost of staging the event - everything from barriers to toilets, from printing to safety pins, from race numbers to marketing. Organising any event requires a considerable amount of forward planning, risk and expense. Therefore we are unable to offer refunds or defer entries over to the following year.
You can insure your entry via Protect Group when you enter the race - If you have selected Refundable Terms on your booking and are unable to attend your booking due to unforeseen circumstances outside of your control you may be entitled to a refund - please see full set of Refundable Terms and Conditions here. To apply for a refund, please find the instructions on how to apply in the booking confirmation email you received after payment. Please note this insurance is not provided by us and we have no control over if participants are eligible for a refund..
Entry transfers are permitted up to one week before race day. Instructions on how to complete a transfer are included in your original entry confirmation email. Please note that the original entrant is responsible for finding a replacement runner; City Runs cannot facilitate this process. Any repayment or transfer of entry fee must be arranged privately between the original entrant and the new runner.
