Questions & Answers
How can I check my registration?
Go to our registration platform and enter your first and last name. If you have an active registration, the system will provide you with information such as the event you are registered for and your bib number (when assigned).
Can I register on site on race day?
It will be possible to register on site on the day of the race as well as the day before. The exact location of our registration desk will be announced a few weeks prior to the event. Please note that the number of places available is limited. We strongly recommend that you register in advance. Only events that have not reached capacity will be open for registration, either online or on site.
I’d like to switch races. Is this possible?
You have two options if you wish to switch races:
- Online: On our registration platform. A $2.25 fee will apply.
- On-site: Come in person to the registration desk on race day or the day before. The exact location of the registration desk will be announced a few weeks prior to the event. A $15.00 fee will apply.
If the cost of the new event is higher than the cost of the initial registration, the initial amount paid by the participant will be deducted. Otherwise, no refund will be made under any circumstances. Event changes are only possible if the maximum capacity of the new event has not been reached.
Can I transfer my registration to another participant?
Yes, it is possible to do so until the last price increase (before August 26 for the 2024 edition). A $2.25 fee will apply. The transfer can be made online, on our registration platform.
Can I have someone pick up my race bib for me?
Yes, the person will have to show your registration confirmation (on paper or on screen).
In the event of injury or inability to participate in the event, can I get a refund?
Unfortunately, no. No refunds or deferrals will be granted to any participant, for any reason (medical or otherwise). In the event of complete or partial cancellation of the event for any reason (e.g. dangerous weather conditions, acts of terrorism, pandemic), registrations are non-refundable. In all circumstances, donations are made directly to the organization and are irrevocable (non-refundable). When you register, we offer a low-cost protection plan to protect your purchase against unforeseen circumstances that could prevent you from taking part in the event. The protection plan does not cover event cancellation.
