We are unable to offer refunds. There are lots of costs involved in running an event that are paid out before the event occurs and cannot be recouped by the organizers. You may be able to transfer your entry if you inform us within a reasonable amount of time.

No. We love dogs, but dogs are not permitted on the course during the running events, but leashed dogs are always welcome to join the party in the start/finish field area.
