VICTORIA HALF AND SPRINT TRIATHLON

*The Victoria Half and Sprint Triathlon offers Tiered Pricing based on registration spot inventory, or a registration deadline date - whichever comes first. Entries at each tier are limited and once the designated number of entry spots in the block are sold out, the price will increase. Athletes who take advantage of early registration will receive the best entry rates.

• NO REFUNDS WILL BE ISSUED UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. Although some participants may not realize it, the majority of expenses for organizing a sporting event are incurred before the actual event takes place (ie. staff, marketing, shirts, medals, permits, deposits, insurance, etc). For this reason, issuing refunds would place the event in an adverse financial position. By registering for the event, you are agreeing to the risk that if you are unable to attend the event, or if the event is cancelled, you are not entitled to a refund unless otherwise stated.
• All entries are Non-Refundable, Non-Transferable to another person, and Non-Deferrable to a future event unless otherwise stated.
• Sale and/or transfer of race entries/bib numbers is strictly prohibited.
• A participant with an injury or illness is not eligible for a refund, transfer or a deferral entry to a future event.

1. Free entry in the 2021 Virtual Event OR;
2. Free entry deferral to the 2022 event

• If the event is postponed to a future date in 2021, the participant will have the following options:

1. Free entry in the newly scheduled 2021 event date OR;

The event offers a Relay Team Division for the Half Iron distance. Relays are comprised of 2 or 3 team members who each complete one of the legs (swim, bike or run) of the Half Iron distance. In order to register, the coordinator of the Relay Team will be considered the Captain and will need to register first by selecting the "Relay - Half Iron (Captain Registration)". The Captain will be required to select a team name and pay for the team registration fee. Once the Captain has completed registration, each additional teammate can now register by selecting "Relay - Half Iron (Team member - Non-Captain Registration)". During the registration process, each teammate must identify which team they are on by clicking on their team name (that the Captain of the team entered during registration). There will be no registration fee charge for the teammates.

The health and safety of all individuals in the event is a priority.
