Refund/Transfer/Deferral Policy

This policy is in place to protect both the event and the participants. High Five Events, the producer of this event, is an operation employing many full-time staff members who work on this event year-round to ensure a fun and safe environment. Almost all of the supplies and services for the event must be purchased well in advance of the actual event date. We have worked hard to ensure there are options available while also being sure we can continue to offer the best quality event year after year.

All transfers must be approved through High Five Events. Anyone caught attempting to sell or transfer their race entry/bib to another person will have said race entry/bib revoked, be disqualified, and removed from the race without refund. Persons trying to participate in the event using another participant’s race entry/bib as part of a non-approved transfer will be disqualified, and removed from the race without refund.

The Austin Marathon Refund/Transfer/Deferral Policy is subject to change at any time.
