Entry fees are non-refundable; race numbers and entries cannot be transferred to person. No exceptions. This means once we have received your entry, you will not receive a refund if you cannot participate, and you may not give or sell your number or timing chip to anyone else. Anyone found participating with another person’s number will be disqualified and both people will be barred from future Sports Backers events, including the Ukrop's Monument Avenue 10k and Anthem Richmond Marathon.
If you are already signed up for one race and want to switch to the other (i.e., the marathon to the half marathon), you may do so online through September 30. After September, you may switch races in person at the Race Expo/Packet Pick Up (assuming the race you want to switch into has not already reached its capacity). There is a $10 fee to do so, along with any applicable entry fee increase.
Can I defer my entry to a future year?
You may defer your entry from the 2013 HCA Virginia 8k, American Family Fitness Half Marathon or Anthem Richmond Marathon to the 2014 event. The fee to defer an entry is $10 for the 8k and $20 for the half or full marathons. You may only defer to and from the same event: 2013 8k to 2014 8k, 2013 Half to 2014 Half or 2013 Full to 2014 Full. Deferred entries may not be transferred to another person. Refunds will not be issued under any circumstances. All deferrals must be done by October 31, 2013. There will be no deferrals at the race expo. To defer your entry, click here
Packet pick-up will take place at the Race Expo held at the Arthur Ashe Athletic Center on Thursday, November 14 from 5 to 9 p.m. and on Friday, November 15 from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.
THERE IS NO RACE DAY PACKET PICK UP! A photo ID is required to pick up your race packet. You may pick up a race packet for another pre-registered runner, provided you have a copy of their photo ID.
