Where the original event has been postponed to a new date, those who hold a registration to the event at the time of postponement have the following options:

Option One / Race on the New Date
The default ("do nothing") option is to race on the new event date.. You do not need to take any action to exercise this option. Your original registration is automatically valid for the new date. All you need to do is turn up in the right place at the right time and you are good to go. It doesn’t matter that your e-ticket, race number or phone reminder are all still pointing to the original race date. The new date will be shown on the event web site and discussed on our Facebook page.

Option Two / Go Virtual
Maybe you aren't able to make the new event date - but you still have your eye on earning that stunning finisher medal? In that case, you can switch to the virtual event and complete the event on your own schedule and at your most convenient location. All of the normal provisions of our virtual events apply - including how times are uploaded, what days you must complete the challenge, etc. Read about these on our Virtual Events page.
Important Bonus! Provided you switch to the virtual event by midnight on the day prior to the re-scheduled in-person event AND record a virtual finish time within the time limits of the virtual competition, we'll provide you with a discount voucher to the value of 33% of the entry fee originally paid.
You can collect your finisher medal from our warehouse in Hobsonville, Auckland OR at another of our events OR have it couriered to your address for a small fee.

Option Three / Defer To Next Year
If you can’t make it to the rescheduled event – and prefer not to take the virtual option – then you can defer your entry to the same event, next year. Your transfer must be completed by midnight on the day prior to the in-person event taking place. For instructions on completing a transfer, see our Making Changes page.
Important! We charge a small administration fee of $5 for kids’ dash and $7.50 for all other races, to help us offset administration costs already incurred on your behalf (e.g. race number printing, timing tags, postage costs, finisher medals, etc).

Running Events only cancelled three events out of over twenty during the Covid-19 Pandemic (and we have *never* cancelled an event outside of the pandemic) so the chances of your event being cancelled are extremely small. Still, just in case, we have developed these options so that know what to expect if it happens:

Option One / Go Virtual
Where the in-person event has been cancelled, the existing races (all distances) will be converted to a “Competitive Virtual” race - this is the default "do nothing" option. You do not need to take any action to exercise this option. There will also be a “Fun Virtual” option for each distance. The Competitive Virtual option will have more stringent rules around the Strava workouts to be used to validate your run and this will be eligible for merit awards. The Fun Virtual option is easier to qualify a time for and it mostly about participating and earning your finisher medal.
Important Bonus! All entrants registered for either Virtual Run of a cancelled event will be receive a voucher to the value of 50% of the original entry fee paid. Furthermore, everyone who records a valid finish time in either virtual run – will have their finisher medal couriered out to them at our expense.
* Voucher value to be 50% of your original entry fee. valid for 12 months. only one voucher per registration transaction
* Medal delivery to NZ addresses only. International entrants can contact us for a quote if they would like their medal delivered

Option Two / Defer To Next Year
If you can’t make it to the rescheduled event – and prefer not to take the virtual option – then you can defer your entry to the same event, next year. Your transfer must be completed by midnight on the day prior to the schduled in-person event. For instructions on completing a transfer, see our Making Changes page.
