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.

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.

What does your registration fee go towards?

By | General, Registration | No Comments

The cost of the registration fee supports the staging of the event, including, but not limited to, the souvenir shirt, finisher medal, personalized bib, food and beverages before, during, and after the event, an official time run on a measured, certified, and secure course, a post-race experience, and more.

The fuller explanation is that we (Canada Running Series) take on all the responsibility and all the risk of the event. If at the end day when everything is paid for, there is a profit, that modest profit goes to CRS. And if there is a loss, that falls on us too. This way, our charities have a wonderful run experience for their community without the work, liability and risk. And this enables them to devote 100% of their time to fundraising, receive 100% of all donations, and have no fear of loss. We do not charge the charities a penny for providing the event and the fundraising opportunity.

If I deferred my 2020 entry, am I automatically registered for the next in-person event or do I have to register again?

What happens if the event sells out?

By | Registration, Registration | No Comments

Unfortunately, due to course limitations and event permitting, and to ensure we’re creating a positive and safe experience for our participants, there is limited space in each distance.

The TCS Toronto Waterfront Marathon often sells out of some or all distances. Once a distance is sold out, we are unable to open more spaces, and we do not maintain a waitlist for our events.

If an event sells out, entry transfers may still be available from other participants. To learn more about how to transfer a race entry from another participant, click here.

We hope you will join us for another of our Canada Running Series events. You can find our events here: www.canadarunningseries.com
