Can I switch into or out of a Green Bib Registration?

By | Registration, Registration, Results & Swag, Results & Swag | No Comments
The deadline to switch out of the Green Bib Marathon and Half Marathon has passed (on August 2nd). We understand that the Green Bib is a new program, and that participants may have made a mistake in their registration. We have done our best to be transparent about the purchase by including a description of the event on the sign up page, notifying participants in the registration form, and then sending out two email notifications after registering, letting participants know that they have selected this option and that they are able to switch out of Green Bib before August 2nd. We encourage all participants to closely consider their registration options to ensure they’re choosing their preferred option.
If you are registered for the 5K Green Bib, and would like to switch out of the Green Bib so you receive a shirt and medal, please email us at info@canadarunningseries.com and confirm your shirt size and gender so we can make the switch for you.
If you would like to switch into the Green Bib registration, please email us at info@canadarunningseries.com and tell us which sustainability charity (Trees for Life or Trans Canada Trail) you’d like your donation to go towards.
Please note, all switches are subject to space availability, and changes may not be able to be made based on sell-outs or short time frame leading into race day.

What is the Green Bib Program?

By | Registration, Registration | No Comments
The Green Bib Program gives participants with the choice about whether to receive a race shirt and medal as part of their race day experience. If a participant chooses the Green Bib option, a donation will be made to a participating sustainability charity in lieu of a race shirt and medal. On race day, they will be wearing a green bib to indicate this choice.
At Canada Running Series, we’re always looking for ways to reduce our environmental impact, and we want to provide our participants with that same ability. By offering the green bib as a registration option, we allow our participants to be in choice about what they receive as part of their race experience.

Can I defer my entry due to pregnancy or postpartum?

By | Registration | No Comments
Yes! Please review our pregnancy and postpartum deferral policy below.
Who is eligible:
Anyone who is a registered participant, and is or becomes pregnant prior to race day and chooses to not participate in the event due to such circumstances. For clarification, Canada Running Series considers postpartum to be 24 weeks following the birth of a child.
How to request a pregnancy or postpartum deferral:
To obtain a pregnancy or postpartum deferral, the participant must:
Submit a pregnancy or postpartum deferral request in writing to info@canadarunningseries.com any time after registering for the event, but no later than 14 days before race day.
Provide written confirmation of the participant’s pregnancy signed by a physician, registered midwife, or other medical professional.
What does a pregnancy or postpartum deferral provide:
A participant who obtains a pregnancy or postpartum deferral will have their original registration deactivated and will be provided a promo code that can be used to register for one of the next two subsequent events. The promo code must be used to register for the same Canada Running Series Event as the original registration. If it is not used within the following two years, no refund or additional deferral will be provided.
If a participant becomes pregnant again during a pregnancy or postpartum deferral period, they may request a second consecutive pregnancy or postpartum deferral. This would permit them to defer their race entry a second time.
Canada Running Series will allow no more than two consecutive pregnancy deferral requests per event. If the individual is unable to participate after requesting two consecutive deferrals, the participant understands they will not be offered a refund. However, participants are allowed to request additional non-consecutive pregnancy or postpartum deferrals for future pregnancies.

What are the processing fees that I’m charged with my registration?

By | Registration, Registration | No Comments

Race Roster collects a fee on all transactions (processing fees) as this is an industry standard. Their team assists our races from beginning to end, and this fee allows them to provide meaningful customer support to all participants, covers merchant costs of processing the transaction, the technology costs of developing an online registration platform, includes event cancellation protection for participants in the case of an emergency, and ensures that the online race experience is seamless for all.

We understand that some people aren’t familiar with where these fees are spent, and may think they are an irrelevant added cost, though without them, we would not be able to host the events that we do.
