We understand that plans change and life happens. Given this, please be aware of our refund policy. Entry fees cannot be transferred to another athlete. If the race director is notified of a need to withdraw:

• More than 2 months before from race day:  100% refund granted
• Between 1 and 2 months before from race day:  50% refund granted
• Less than 1 month before race day:  no refunds granted

If you registered for a race but would like to participate in a shorter distance event instead (e.g., 10K to 5K), you must contact the race director 1 week prior to race day, and we will initiate the transfer process for you. Less than 1 week notice may result in an additional fee. We can transfer your entry to the shorter distance, but you will not receive a refund for the difference in price. If you are transferring to a more expensive event (e.g., 5K to 10K) you will need to pay the difference in price.

Race Deferral

Only athletes who cannot participate in the event due to an injury or medical issue may defer their entry to the following year, IF the race director is notified at least 1 week prior to race day AND a note from a physician is received. Note that, if there is a difference in race entry fees from one year to the next, or extra costs (t-shirts, etc.) the athlete will pay the difference. In the event of a deferral to the following year, it is the responsibility of the athlete to contact the race director once online registration opens for the following year.

Race Swag

If you cannot participate, you are welcome to come to packet pick-up to receive your bib number, swag bag and items you purchased in advance. Please note that all race items that are not picked up on or before race day are forfeited and become the property of Lay It Out Events. We cannot store race items for you. Please pick up swag before race day!

By registering for Happy Girls Run you acknowledge and agree there are no refunds outside the above refund policy if the registrant voluntarily cancels her registration. If Lay It Out Events cancels the race, all entry fees will be refunded minus the processing fees charged by our registration platform (software), Active Network. Those fees are non-refundable.

Thank you for understanding!
