Refund/Cancellation Policy

All Lace Up Running events proceed rain or shine—or even snow and cold. For that reason, we have a strict no-refund policy. In the event of extreme weather, the start time may be delayed by up to half an hour. If conditions worsen with lightning, ice, or other unsafe circumstances, the event may be canceled at the discretion of the Race Director.

We strive to deliver a full and safe sporting event, but we acknowledge that weather conditions can sometimes affect our plans. If the event is canceled, or if you are unable to participate, you can still receive your packet, shirt, and medal, and complete the race on your own time.
