“No Worries Deferral Policy”

We love our community of runners and walkers. We love creating memorable race experiences for everyone. Our “No Worries Deferral Policy” is offered to all St. Petersburg Distance Classic registrants if you can not race with us for some reason. Requests must be made by Thursday, February 5, 7:30 p.m. (the Thursday before the race), as we are out of the office afterwards preparing for the race. There are no deferrals after that date.
• You may defer your race entry to a future St. Petersburg Distance Classic race.
• You may switch to the virtual option, and we will mail your medal, T, and bib after the race.
If you need to defer your registration or switch to the virtual run, simply email us by February 5, 7:30 p.m. We will process it for you.

We Do Not Allow Transfer of Bibs

Your race registration and bib are non-transferable. Here’s why:
• Every participant needs to sign our waiver during registration. Failure to sign puts you (the entrant), the “new” participant, and us, the race directors, at risk for denial of insurance claims if an accident should occur

• This is a safety liability, as the emergency contact (on the back of the bib) will be incorrect since it will be your ER contact, not the other participant’s ER contact

• Results could affect Age Group awards, as the new participant may be in a different category in age group and/or gender

If you are unable to attend our event, we can defer your entry, or you can run it virtually. Please contact us by Thursday, February 5, at info@stpetersburgdistanceclassic.com. 

This event follows the standard running industry policy: All entry fees are non-refundable, except for those athletes who purchase the “No Questions Asked” Refund Policy. We reserve the right to postpone or cancel the event due to circumstances beyond our control, such as a natural disaster or emergency, or as required to protect the safety of participants and staff. No refunds will be issued under these circumstances. We reserve the right to change the event’s details without prior notice.
