You can find direct information for each race under the "Individual Race Details" Dropdown Menu.
Simple. Sign up for the entire series as a bundle. You must also be in attendance at Race #4 to pick it up or you will forfeit it. We will not be shipping out anything.
Same as the Series Medal - simply sign up for the bundle and be in attendance Race #4.
While we want to say yes - we can't. We have to place our order in December and need to know those who are fully committed to the series. We need your commitment to make this series possible and the commitment is how you earn the hoodie/medal.
Note - if you do sign up on a race-by-race basis- AND IF we have leftovers - we will do our best to get it to you (upon verification) at the final race. But this will NOT be guaranteed.
To be eligible for series awards you must finish all four series races in person. Awards will be based on the best cumulative net time and presented at the final race. There will be NO VIRTUAL SUBMISSIONS ALLOWED!
All races in this series will be LIVE ONLY. There will be NO virtual components to this series unless we are forced to switch due to bad weather, a state mandate, or lockdown.
Series Awards will be the following (based on your age at the fourth/final race of the series):
Top 1 Male Overall and Top 1 Female Overall
Top 1 Male in the following age divisions: 1-12, 13-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60+
Top 1 Female in the following age divisions: 1-12, 13-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60+
Individual Race Awards can be found under those specific race pages.
Unfortunately, we cannot tell the future. However, we have high hopes that it will not happen. But if it does, all participants will be moved to a Virtual Race and we will simply hold onto your swag until the next race. In the event there is no "next" race we will host a no contact pickup and if you can't make that we will cover your shipping. We just ask for patience as it will be a very fluid situation if that happens but we will do our best to communicate with everyone both through email and on our Facebook Page.
Unfortunately we have gone away from paper registration for many years and are not bringing it back. It adds a lot of additional work and financial tracking that we do not want to do as directing a race is hard enough. We will be offering race day registration but it will be ONLINE so you will need your cell phones to complete the registration.
Registrations are now required to collect and remit sales tax. The processing fee is there to cover costs of payment facilitators, emails, texts, etc.
We do not mail out anything that is not picked up (hence, any unclaimed swag will be forfeited with no refund). If you know you are not going to be present and still want your shirt please have a friend/family member pick it up for you.
Again, we do not mail out anything that is not picked up. We also will not bring it to a future race. Simply put, you must be present on race day to get your award.
We do not allow person to person transfers and if someone is caught running for you so you complete the series you will be DQ'd. Please note we physically tag every finish line photo so you will get caught if you do this.
All entry fees are non-refundable. If you attempt a charge back you will be banned from all events that we manage as we consider this theft.
Absolutely not. You will be required to agree to this upon registration in three ways (a separate question, a waiver, and a refund policy). If you are rude in any way to a director or volunteer you will not be able to participate in any APTiming hosted event ever again. Again, if you request a charge back for your registration fee you will not be able to participate in any APTiming hosted event ever again. When registering you take the risk of the event being moved to a virtual event and if you don't want to risk it then please simply do not register.
Dogs are allowed; must be leashed and you must clean up after them.
Race Policies
This event follows the standard running industry policy: All entry fees are non-refundable and non-transferable to future years for ANY reason. The no-refund policy includes requests made due to injury, surgery, pregnancy, personal circumstances, date conflicts and professional commitments. This is an industry standard policy and not unique to our event. We reserve the right to postpone or cancel the event due to circumstances beyond our control such as a natural disaster or emergency or as required to protect the safety of participants and staff. No refunds will be issued under these circumstances. We reserve the right to change the details of the event without prior notice. I understand that my entry fee is nonrefundable and bib numbers are non transferable. In addition, this includes circumstances such as Force Majeure and an Act of God which causes the event to be cancelled or your registration to be transferred to a Virtual entrant with no refund.
No deferrals (“carry-overs” or “transfers”) of entry to future years are permitted. Your entry fees from a previous year cannot be deferred or applied to the 2026 event, nor can your entry fees from this year be deferred or applied to a future event. This includes requests made due to injury, surgery, pregnancy, personal circumstances, date conflicts and professional commitments. We do offer the ability to transfer your bib to another runner.
We do not allow race transfers. Anyone caught running for anyone else will be disqualified from the series (meaning you will not earn your swag at the final race).
By participating I agree to The Respectfulness Policy:
"If you aren't nice, you aren't allowed. Race organizers, at their sole discretion, have the right to remove your registration without a refund, and even permanently ban you from all future races, if you act, speak or behave disrespectfully toward any of our race staff, race volunteers, or toward your fellow participants. This includes all digital/online communications as well as in-person interactions."
