Race Policies
Registration Policies
Gray Matter Marketing is a small business dedicated to promoting a healthy lifestyle with charitably focused events that highlight the communities we are fortunate to call hosts cities.
Shirt Policy
Race shirts are produced months in advance using registration data, historical sizing trends, and expected day-of participation rates. This allows us to match demand while minimizing excess inventory and environmental waste, however sizes may become limited if participation exceeds projections.
Participants who pick up their bib and shirt prior to race day are guaranteed the size selected at registration. Race day pickup does not guarantee size availability.
Size Exchanges
Participants will receive the size selected at registration. Size exchanges are not available at pickup. Exchanges may be offered after the race, pending availability.
Opt Out
Participants may choose to opt out of receiving a race shirt during registration. In doing so, the cost of shirt production will be donated to our charitable partners following the event.
Extreme Weather Policy
The oceanside course is exposed to wind and the elements. Runners should monitor the weather leading up to race day and prepare accordingly.
Our events are held rain or shine. However, there is always the potential for extreme or severe weather conditions. Race organizers will do as much as we can to ensure the experience is as safe as possible. In the event of severe weather, the race may be delayed as race officials consult public safety officers. If there is more than a short delay, if conditions persist, or the forecast calls for extreme weather, race officials reserve the right to alter or cancel the race. We do not schedule “rain dates”. Any decision to cancel an event is done as an absolute last resort and is made collectively with local risk management, police, fire & rescue, and medical personnel as appropriate. In such situations, there will be NO REFUNDS as registrants accept any such risk of their entry fee when signing up.
Please check the website, our Facebook page, and your email before the race for any changes or cancellations.
