Refund and Transfer Policy

At NU Limits Running, we understand that plans can change, and we want to be as flexible as possible while also ensuring the smooth and safe running of our events. Please review our refund and transfer policy below:

Refunds

Refunds are available up to 2 months before the event date.

Unfortunately, no refunds will be issued within 2 months of the event. This is due to the upfront costs we incur in preparing an outstanding race experience for all participants.

Event Transfers

You may transfer your registration to another event (within the same calendar year) up to 1 month before the event.

While transfers are not available within 1 month of the event, we encourage you to plan ahead early if your availability changes - this helps us serve all runners better and ensure accurate race planning.

Participant Transfers

You may transfer your place to another runner up to 1 week before the event.

For safety and logistical reasons, transfers to another participant are not permitted within 1 week of the event.

Thank you for your understanding and support. We look forward to seeing you at the starting line!
