2. Click the blue “Actions” button to the right of the race name, and then “Transfer Registration.”
3. Enter the new runner’s email address to begin the transfer process.

5. After clicking the transfer link in the Enmotive email, scroll down to click the green “Accept transfer” button.

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.
