Refund Policy

The Run Santa Run 5K is not able to offer refunds for any reason, as we offer all runners the opportunity to transfer their registration to another person or event, change their distance or defer to next year. (This includes those who experience illness, injury or any other condition that may prevent them from participating in the event.)
