Because many of the items for a race are purchased long before event day and are purchased based on early entry numbers we cannot refund entry fees. Also, because we must know the identity of each person in our events in case of emergency we do not allow transfer of numbers, even if done so through race officials. There is simply too much that a race director must do in the weeks and day just before a race to add the additional workload of transferring race entrant data. Your request might seem simple, but multiplied by the number of runners in an event can quickly become unmanageable.
