3. Enter the new runner’s email address to begin the transfer process.
4. The new runner will then receive an email from Enmotive with a link to complete the transfer.
5. After clicking the transfer link in the Enmotive email, scroll down to click the green “Accept transfer” button.
6. Complete the registration process, and pay the $10 transfer fee. 
7. Once completed, the new runner will receive an email confirmation, and the original runner will receive an email confirming their registration has been cancelled.

If the transaction is not completed by the new runner within 48 hours of the email sent, the transfer request is cancelled, and the registration will remain in the original runner’s name.

All sales are final.

To do so, simply log into your account, here (you may need to reset your password first). Once you’re logged in, you’ll see your upcoming race on the right-hand side of the screen. Click “View registration.” You’ll see your current race distance under “Category.” Just click “Edit,” choose the distance you’d like to switch to. You’ll be prompted to review the rest of your registration, and re-sign the waiver for the new distance. If you’re switching to the half marathon then you’ll also need to enter your estimated finish time so that we may assign you to the proper start wave. If you’re switching to the marathon then you’ll be required to pay the difference in price. We don’t offer refunds for the difference in price when switching to a shorter distance.

Yes, you may transfer your registration to another event hosted by GiddyUp Events in 2020. Please see our Facebook page for the latest list of events. There is a $10 fee to transfer registration. You may not transfer to another event if it has already sold out. Request to transfer registration must be made at least 7 days prior to the event of your current registration. After you’ve submitted your request you will receive another email with a coupon code valued at the amount that you paid initially (minus the processing fees and the $10 transfer fee). Your current registration will then be cancelled.  You’ll then need to register for the new event and enter the coupon code in order to receive a credit.
