Race Insurance Recommended

WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU PURCHASE THE EVENT INSURANCE THAT IS OFFERED WITH EACH EVENT REGISTRATION. THIS INSURANCE WILL PROTECT YOUR REGISTRATION AND PROVIDE A FULL REFUND UNDER THE TERMS OF THE POLICY. 

Common covered reasons

Examples of situations that are typically covered include:

• Illness or accidental injury that prevents participation
• Serious illness or death of an immediate family member
• Vehicle breakdown or traffic accident while traveling to the event
• Severe weather that makes travel impossible or unsafe
• Job loss or involuntary layoff
• Required work relocation (under certain circumstances)
• Jury duty
• Active military deployment
• A positive COVID-19 test requiring isolation (when covered under the applicable policy)

What is not covered

FanShield generally does not reimburse if:

• You simply change your mind.
• You decide not to race.
• You have a scheduling conflict, vacation, or other personal plans.
• You forgot about the race.

The FanShield insurance premium is 8.1% of the registration cost (including processing fees) with a minimum insurance premium of $2.99 for registrations up to $24.99 and a minimum of $3.99 for registrations from $25.00 to $49.23. Premiums for registrations above $49.23 are 8.1%. Premiums in some states that apply surcharges may be slightly different.

Not able to participate this year?

REFUND POLICY: THERE ARE NO REFUNDS FOR EVENTS, NO EXCEPTIONS.

IF YOU CANNOT RACE IN THE EVENT FOR WHICH YOU ARE REGISTERED, AND YOU DID NOT PURCHASE THE INSURANCE, YOU CAN DO ONE OF THE FOLLOWING ONLINE PRIOR TO THE EVENT, ON THE YEAR OF YOUR REGISTRATION. 

• Deferrals - Transfer to next year ($25.00) at least 4 days prior to the event.
• Transfer - To a different race ($10.00) at least 7 days prior to the event
• Transfer - To a different distance (free) at least 4 days prior to the event
• Transfer - To another participant (free) at least 4 days prior to the event

NO DEFERRALS OR TRANSFERS ARE PERMITTED AFTER THE EVENT.

Why do we charge for deferrals?

Most requests for deferrals come after we have already ordered and paid for supplies (medals, bibs, chips, food, etc.) for the race.  The deferral fee helps offset some of these costs.  Transfers to another destination or person, on the other hand, are for the same event and do not incur extra costs.
