All participants will be assigned a bib number with a rip off tag. For us to properly time your race, our staff and video camera (if available) needs to be able to read your bib number as you cross the finish line. Race bibs must be worn on the outside of your clothing on the front of your jersey/shirt (as shown in the picture to the left). Please do not, crinkle or fold the bib. If you do not wear the bib as requested, your finish may not be read properly, and no time will be recorded in the results. You may keep your bib following the race. It does not need to be returned.
We do not offer refunds on race entry fees. NMSU does allow for race fees to be transferred to other race events if available.
We strongly suggest you purchase the race insurance during registration in case you are unable to attend the race or the race is cancelled. You can only purchase the insurance during registration!
Participants will be disqualified for using someone else's bib. Any participant who runs under someone else’s bib will be disqualified and will not be scored. For the safety of our runners, and in case of a medical emergency, the registration data associated with the race number must belong to the person wearing the bib. If race organizers become aware that a runner has participated in one of our events with a bib that is not registered to that runner, both the runner and the person to whom the bib is registered will be prohibited from participating in subsequent NMSU events for a minimum of two years.
