Registration Policies
REFUND & WEATHER POLICY
Race registration is non-refundable if you did not purchase the Refund Protection Program. Click here for transfer instructions. More than two weeks out you may transfer your race registration to another Greenway race of equal or lesser value. All transfers are at the discretion of the Race Director.
Our events run rain or shine unless there is severe weather. While we never want to cancel a race, in situations such as tornado warnings, thunderstorms, heavy and persistent rain etc., we will need to cancel. Should we cancel you will be notified via social media, our website, and email. Should we cancel there will be no refunds as that money has already been put toward the race.
