| Cancellation
Policy: Much
of the cost of providing an adventure race is spent long before you arrive
at the race site. In fact, most of our costs need to be paid in advance
and are not recoverable. Typically, we go forward with an adventure race
"rain or shine." If severe weather conditions or other issues
out of our control (such as hurricane or the closing of the race site by
order of the local government), we will postpone and reschedule our race.
The race organizers are not responsible for such changes in schedule, and
will credit any paid entries toward the rescheduled race date. If a
written cancellation of registration is initiated by the participant more
than 21 days in advance of the event date, full credit will be available.
If participant's cancellation notice is sent 21 days or less (before the
race), a 50% credit will be applied; 10 days or less, a 25% credit; less
than 120 hours notice, or no notice ("no shows") will receive no
credit. Any such credit is good for 180 days from the date of the
scheduled event toward entry/registration in another similar Performance
Multisports event. Refunds are not available. |
