WHAT IS THE STATUS OF THE 2020 ROCK TAHOE HALF MARATHON?

Due to the continued restrictions, the 2020 Rock Tahoe Half Marathon will be a virtual race only.

CAN I HAVE A REFUND?

Registration fees are non-refundable. We work on organizing the race for a full year and many of our expenses are all paid for well in advance of the race such as medals, shirts, marketing, etc. We hope you will participate in the virtual event since we have a medal, shirt and bib waiting for you!

WHAT IS YOUR REFUND/CANCELLATION POLICY?

Our 2020 Race Waiver outlines our refund policy and is agreed to at the time of registration. A PDF copy can be viewed here.

I PURCHASED MAIL MY BIB, WILL THAT BE REFUNDED?

Yes, if you purchased Mail My Bib for 2020, you will be receiving a refund of $25. Those refunds have started processing, and you should see them appear on your card within 7-10 business days.

WHAT IF I PURCHASED RACE INSURANCE?

For coverage details regarding the coronavirus, see FanShield's FAQs here. The race insurance program is administered by a third party, FanShield. This program is responsible for handling all customer inquiries and claim requests as well as processing any approved refunds and sending these to the customer. For any questions related to the insurance policy or coverage, please contact FanShield's customer service online via chat or email. To submit an insurance claim, start online here.

CAN I DEFER MY ENTRY TO 2021?

We are rolling over a registration credit of up to 70% for each participant for Rock Tahoe 2021.

• Registered participants will receive a separate email with a unique code to register for only $37 for the Rock Tahoe Half Marathon on Saturday, June 19, 2021.

WHY ARE YOU NOT POSTPONING TO A LATER DATE?

There is too much uncertainty surrounding when/if mass gathering type events will be allowed again this year.

WHAT IF I DON’T WANT TO COMMIT TO 2021 NOW, CAN I REGISTER LATER?

The discounted rate is only available until July 1st. This discounted rate is refundable through the end of 2020. You are welcome to register at a later date, but the discounted rate is only available for a limited time.

I’M A LEGACY RUNNER, DO I KEEP MY STATUS FOR NEXT YEAR?
