- The Sun Marathon Full will not count towards the 5K challenge but will towards the Trifecta Marathon Challenge.

How to Sponsor
Sponsoring a race is great. You can put up a booth at the packet pickup and/or finish. You can put up banners on the course or on the website. Facebook posts and email blasts reach all the participants. Sponsoring a race can be a low cost way to reach a good group of racers or give this group of a racer a commercial directed at you or your business. Each race On Hill Events produces has different participation size. For this reason On Hill Events varies costs on sponsorship based on the size of the race. The most effective way to sponsor a race is to sponsor On Hill Events. This way your sponsorship reaches around 10,000 racers annually in several areas as far as Idaho to Southern Utah and even Southern California. Ask us about our sponsorship via this email: info@onhillevents.com
Pricing Deadlines
Pricing Deadlines
Charge based on days prior to the race. Why do fees go up as we get closer to a race? If we had everyone register 3 days prior to the race we would not have time to buy medals, shirts, buses, etc. The earlier you register the faster we can order your race items and prepare for the race. We offer race insurance from a 3rd Party Insurance company for only 8.1% of the registration cost. Race Insurance gives you your money back. We strongly encourage racers to register early and get Race Insurance.
90 Days prior the race day, the Price goes up 5% from the Opening Price
60 Days prior the race day, the Price goes up 10% from the Opening Price
30 Days prior the race day, the Price goes up 15% from the Opening Price
15 Days prior the race day, the Price goes up 20% from the Opening Price
7 Days prior the race day, the Price goes up 25% from the Opening Price
3 Days prior the race day, the Price goes up 30% from the Opening Price
Same Day Registration if available (Check website homepage) will be a $10 fee on top of the 30% from the Opening Price.*
*We love all racers but same day registration is truly a challenge for race companies. We may not have the supplies we need for a successful race when same day people come. We may be short on shirts, medals, bus seats etc. It is a challenge with race data as well. Often the timing system is already preloaded. If this is the case we will often give you a bib with the name Late Registration, Female at 99 years old so you do not accidentially take someone elses award. We can switch your data once you finish but often the starting system is in another location than the finish and will not be able to be edited until post race. If you are concerned you may not be healthy or injured check out Race Insurance and buy your bib early. For only 8.1% of your race fee you will be insured against several situations including sickness or injury.
Refunds
No Refund Explanation and Options:
Many racers have questions about refunds. Around 3 days prior to a race we have racers bombard us with the question can I get a refund. They all have justified reasons in their minds ranging from a family event came up (wedding, funeral, vacation), or related to their body (illness, injury, poor training). Though our policy is firm "No Refunds" people still ask. Even though we have racers sign this policy at time of registration, they still ask. Not to diminish your situation but pretty much every race company has a similar policy to "No Refunds". The reason for such a policy is not to be heartless but to be able to stay in business. If you register we buy you things like t-shirts, medals, food, permits for race, bus seats, support, and more. If we offered refunds within 72 hours prior to the race we would lose the money we spent on your shirts, bus, medals and food. You may feel that permits we can get refunded on but even permits have scalable fees based on how many racers are signed up. Drop13 pays the US Forest Service 5% of our gross not net fees to them.
Unlike other race companies, we strive to offer other options that can help you out. An example is we buy medals 60-90 days in advance. Tshirts 10 to 30 days in advance. Food 7 days in advance. Buses 60 to 90 days in advance. Volunteers 7 to 60 days depending on Paid Groups or individual volunteers. Permits are started 9 to 12 months in advance. Because some things have some flexibility and we can recover some we offer options other race companies do not like Deferrals and Transfers up to 15 days prior to the race for a fee (see Refund Policy) We also offer Race Insurance at the time of registration for only $2.99 to 8.1% of your race fee depending on your race fee which covers most situations that may arise. We strongly recommend signing up for this insurance at registration time because race fees grow as race day approaches. Many racers will wait to register to confirm a weather will be good race day and do not account for race fees increasing around 30% between registration starting 9 to 12 months out and race day fees. Insurance covers Severe weather.
Other Options if within 15 days before race day:
Utah Race Saver (Not affiliated with On Hill Events)
If you did not purchase Race Insurance at the time of registration or are within the 15-day option for deferrals or transfers your only option is to give or sell your bib to another racer. It is your responsibility to sell or give your bib to another racer. We do not handle the transactions or sell them for you. If you do not know who can purchase your bib you can post it on the Facebook group Utah Race Saver https://www.facebook.com/groups/utahracesaver to sell it. Often you can sell it for less than what it is currently being sold at because the fees go up the closer the race gets. Reminder all exchanges via email to us at info@onhillevents.com must be finalized 96 hours prior to race day or you will incur a $5 transfer fee and must be done the day prior at packet pickup. Just have the person you gave or sold it to come to packet pickup the day prior with $5 cash. At 96 hours prior to race day we stuff and label race packets.

Self Management - Deferrals, Referrals, Edit Registration
Options Below:
1 - Transfer Race Bib to another Racer (Free up to 96 hours prior to Race, $5 thereafter at Packet Pickup)
2 - Deferrals and Transfers cost $15 and must be done 15 days prior to Race (This can only be done once)
Deferral - This race registration moved to this race the following year.
Transfer - This race to another On Hill Events race in the next 12 months and credits what you paid minus fees & taxes.
3 - Race Insurance - Cash Refunds if you purchase Race Insurance at the time you registered (Minus taxes & fees).
*These options must be done by using the Self Management Tool in the Upper Right Hand Icon of all our websites and prior to the 15-day deadline. We can assist via email or phone but the Deferral/Transfer must be done yourself 15 days before race day regardless if you emailed us or left a message before the 15-day Deadline. Check out the Contact Us page for Step-by-step instructions.
Referral Program is a great program we do. Refer 5 friends and get 100% back on your credit card. No longer is it 10% per referral but 100% for 5 which is more.
We do not do any of these programs manually or else we would be like all other race companies and not offer them. They are too difficult to manage manually and open us up for errors in timing. If you wish to participate in one of these programs you must do so electronically before the deadlines. Emailing, Texting us or phone call or voicemail does not count as notifying us before the deadline. If you do not know how to do one of these programs we are happy to help explain how to do them yourself but they still must be done electronically yourself before the deadlines. If you need help please contact us well before the deadlines, so you do not miss the deadlines.
Edit Registration, Defer Program, and Referral Program are accessed via signing into RunSignUp and selecting these options.

Volunteer Credit
The On Hill Events volunteer program is great! Within a week following the race, volunteers will receive an email with a code on it good for the credit you earned towards a future On Hill Events race within 13 months of the time you volunteered. Volunteer duties are selected by the volunteer and include aid stations, turn aids and finish line help. They are always fun and never require heavy lifting. Credits are fully redeemable by anyone and can be given as a gift.
