PARTICIPANT & DISTANCE TRANSFERS
Please read our Transfer Information Carefully.
We DO NOT CHARGE any transfer fees as we use the Acitve.com online Transfer System. However there are a few things you should know about this transfer system...
When completing a Participant Transfer the NEW Participant is required to pay the CURRENT Regsitration Fee. The EXISTING Participant is then refunded their ORIGINAL Registration Fee. So this may results in a price difference!
Yes we agree its not the greatest system and have requested it be changed for a number of years but we are just regarded as a small event on the global scale of things.
To guarantee your Transfer goes through this must be done online BEFORE the 13th August.
After the 13th August there is no guarantee we can process your transfer, we will obviously try our best but you must realise there is a lot of work during the last few days leading up to a race and once again we are a very very small operation.
Event Insurance - During the Online Regsitration process you will be offered Active.com Event Insurance, if you want that 100% security of your Regsitration Fee then we advise you take out this option, all Active.com Event Insurance claims will need to be sent directly to Active.com.
You can complete Transfers online by:
Clicking on the links contained in your Registration Confirmation Email; or
By logging into your ACTIVE.com Account before the 10th August.
If you do not have an ACTIVE.com Account, you will need to create one first. To do this, visit My Events and enter your registration ID in the “Claim your registration” box.
