Series Registration Policies



Eligibility

To complete the Rhode Island 10K Series, runners must register for the series as a whole and participate in all three events in that calendar year. Registration for events individually will not make a runner eligible for series completion. If you are already registered for one event and would like to do the series please contact us at [email protected] and we’ll get it sorted out.



Already registered for an individual event?

If you have already registered for one or two of the individual 10K races but would now like to run the complete series, please contact us.



Refunds

Full refunds are allowed up to 30 days prior to the first event of the series.

Please email [email protected] to request a refund and include your name and the event name. There will be NO EXCEPTIONS made to requests after the 30 day prior deadline.



Deferrals

Deferrals to the next year’s race are allowed up to 30 days before the first event of the series.

Please email [email protected] to request a deferral. This will be available for you to register for the following year’s event. Instructions for using the deferral will be emailed to you.



Transfers

We do not allow transfers of registrations or bib swapping. No exceptions.



Extreme Weather Policy

Our events are held rain or shine. However, there is always the potential for extreme or severe weather conditions. Race organizers will do as much as we can to ensure the experience is as safe as possible. In the event of severe weather, the race may be delayed as race officials consult public safety officers. If there is more than a short delay, if conditions persist, or the forecast calls for extreme weather, race officials reserve the right to alter or cancel the race. We do not schedule "rain dates". Any decision to cancel an event is done as an absolute last resort and is made collectively with local risk management, police, fire & rescue, and medical personnel as appropriate. In such situations, there will be NO REFUNDS as registrants accept any such risk of their entry fee when signing up.

Please check the website, our Facebook page, and your email before the race for any changes or cancellations.
