Postponements/Cancellations
Entry fees are non-refundable, even in the case of a race postponement, cancellation, updated race format, and/or if you are unable to participate; race numbers and entries cannot be transferred to another 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 tag to anyone else.
Switching Races (Distances)
There will be no refunds and no transfer of entries from person-to-person. You may switch between the three events (8k, half, and full) for a $10 distance switch fee if going down in distance. If going up in distance, it’s $10 plus the difference in entry fee at the time of the switch. If you are already signed up for one race and want to switch to the other, you may do so online through October 31 or in person at the Race Expo, provided the race you are switching to has not reached its capacity. You will not receive a refund of any entry fees.
PLEASE NOTE: If you deferred your race entry from 2023 to 2024 and would now like switch distances, you must email [email protected] in order to process the switch.
1. SWITCHING TO A SHORTER DISTANCE EVENT:
EXAMPLE: If you registered for the half marathon and now want to do the 8k, you would pay the $10 distance switch fee.

2. SWITCHING TO A LONGER DISTANCE EVENT:
EXAMPLE: If you registered for the half marathon for $90 and would like to switch to the marathon in July when the marathon’s entry fee is $110, you will owe $30 ($20 difference in entry fee + $10 distance switch fee).
PLEASE EMAIL [email protected] FOR MORE DETAILS TO SWITCH TO A HIGHER DISTANCE EVENT.

Deferrals
You may defer your registration from the 2024 Allianz Partners Richmond Marathon, Richmond Half Marathon, or VCU Health Richmond 8k to the 2025 event. You may only defer to and from the same event distance. Deferred registrations may not be transferred to another person. Refunds will not be issued under any circumstances. The fee to defer a registration is $10 for the 8k and $20 for the half or full marathons through September 15 and then $20 for the 8k and $30 for the half or full marathons. All deferrals must be done by October 31, 2024 and may be used only for the 2025 event. You may only defer an entry once (i.e., if you defer your 2024 entry to 2025, you will not be able to defer it again to 2026).
Please note: Training team registrations have different deferral rules and deadlines. Check each Training Team page for details.
