Refund Policy
Through our registration platform, SwimBikeRun Fun Club & Events provides Registration Protector. If you register for an SBR Fun event and are unable to attend, there are no refunds available UNLESS you have purchased Registration Protector and are in compliance with their terms and conditions.
The event's proceeds, like all others, are used to cover the numerous nonrefundable pre- and post-race expenses required to put on the event (e.g., city permits, police and traffic control, security, participant shirts, finisher medals, race bib, timing chips, equipment rental, tents, event staff, signage, event supplies, portable restrooms, etc.).
In addition, it's fully disclosed in our SBR Fun Club & Events registration waiver you accepted: that you acknowledge and agree that the Event Producer may, in its sole discretion, postpone, modify, or cancel the Event for any reason, including if it believes the race day conditions are unsafe.
If the Event is delayed, modified, or cancelled due to acts of God or the elements (including, but not limited to, wind, rough water, rain, hail, hurricane, tornado, earthquake), acts of terrorism, fire, threatened or actual strike, labor difficulty, work stoppage, insurrection, war, public disaster, flood, unavoidable casualty, race course conditions, global pandemic, or any other cause beyond the Event Producer's control, there shall be no refund.
Right To Refuse Service.
Swim Bike Run Fun Club & Events has the authority to decline service to any individual or entity based on reasons that are not prohibited by law, and at its own discretion. Additionally, the organization has the right to dismiss registered volunteers from their duties, exclude unwelcomed individuals from participant lists, and remove athletes from events without cause.
Here are a few examples of when Swim Bike Run Fun Club & Events may exercise its right to refuse service or remove individuals:
If an individual is behaving in a disruptive or unsafe manner, such as being verbally or physically aggressive towards other participants or staff members.
If an individual has violated the organization's rules or policies, such as using performance-enhancing drugs or cheating during an event.
If an individual is unable to meet the event's minimum requirements, such as age or physical fitness level.
If an individual has a history of causing problems at previous events, and the organization believes they are likely to do so again.
If an individual has made discriminatory remarks or exhibited discriminatory behavior towards others, such as making racist or sexist comments.
If an athlete or volunteer is unable to follow instructions given, they can be removed from the event.
