Waiver Closed

1k Santa Fun Run


Santa Fun Run registration is open for children under 10. This event will be on Saturday morning at 9 am. Parents MUST sign a waiver at packet pick-up or race morning. The event is free, but please register online so we know how many to expect. Thank you!





Event Registration Limits


NOTE: We will have race day registration available on a first-come, first-serve basis until we reach our runner caps. No race day registrations for relay teams.

Anyone registering after July 10th or after the online registration reaches its limits will not be guaranteed a shirt, medal, or any swag items. We will mark race bibs accordingly and discount each race (fun run excluded) by $10 if the event reaches its limits indicated above and shirts, medals, and swag items are not available. (This is to allow people to run the race, but maybe don't necessarily care about the shirts, medals, or swag)





Refunds, Transfers, and Deferrals


Transfer Policy:

Up through July 10th, you will be allowed to transfer from one race to another or to transfer your registration to someone else.

Cost: For race category changes it's $10 plus the difference in price for the race you originally registered for and the new race you are transferring to. We do not offer refunds if the race you initially registered for is more expensive than the race you are transferring to. If a race has reached capacity, no transfers into that race will be permitted. For transfers to another individual, they will pay the current registration prices, not necessarily what the person who is transferring paid, which is a common misnomer). It's advised to let the system handle this and not work out differences among yourselves. Runners can log into Race Roster to facilitate the transfer.

"No Sweat" Deferral Policy:

Deferral Fees: Timed Solo ($30); Relay ($60)

At any time up to July 10th, you can defer your race entry to next year only. Deferrals shall forfeit any race swag for the current year. We will not accept deferral requests after July 10th. NO EXCEPTIONS! Just contact the race directors by July 10th to defer your entry to next year. When you're ready to register the next year, we will provide you a personal registration code that you can use, which will be in the amount you registered for the previous year minus the deferral fee.

Send an email to info@runners4wellness.com if you are requesting to defer along with your confirmation you received from this registration website. We will confirm with you and you should be okay.
