It will also impact on your participation in any future events organised by Yorkshire Wolds Runners.

Refunds

If you change your mind or decide to cancel your place because of injury, illness, lack of training or other reason, then unfortunately the organisers of the race will not be able to refund your entry fee. This is the norm for races throughout the UK, the main reason being 'committed costs'. Services, equipment and materials will have been purchased based on the numbers entered. When you enter we have a responsibility to provide all that is necessary to make the event a success

.

Deferrals

We don't offer deferrals, unless the event is cancelled or postponed.

Transfers

If you can no longer run and you have someone who would like to take your place then you can do this yourself by logging in to the on-line entry provider you used to enter .You simply change all your details to the details of the new person.

For obvious reasons we need to set a deadline for transfers. As we try to keep the entries open for as long as possible, this function will end at the same time as entries close. You are reminded that under UKA rules; any runner who knowingly competes with another person's race number that has not been officially transferred to them will be disqualified.

Event Cancellation

In addition, no refunds can be given if the event has to be cancelled or postponed due to circumstances that are outside the organiser’s control. All participants will be automatically deferred to the following year’s race.
