Entries are transferable, but must be done through our registration site, RunSignUp.  Transfers are allowed until 10 days prior to the event and do not incur any fees from us.   Completing the transfer through our system is MANDATORY.  This is for the safety of the runner as well as necessary to satisfy insurance requirements of the event. If a runner collapses or is otherwise injured during the race and is running as someone else, we would not have emergency information available for them. This could result in further injury.  Instructions on how to transfer to another runner can be found HERE.

You can transfer your race entry to another race owned by FRESHJUNKIE Racing as long as registration for the desired race is open and you are more than 10 days out from the race you are currently registered for.  A list of FRESHJUNKIE Racing events and calendar can be found here.   Completing these transfers may incur costs depending on what event(s) you are transferring to and from.   You can find instructions on how to complete a transfer to another FRESHJUNKIE Racing owned event by clicking HERE.
