WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE T-SHIRT POLICY

Not everybody wants a T-shirt. Why pay for a T-shirt if you don't want one? When you enter the Bucket List Triathlon or 5K Run you do not automatically get a T-shirt with your entry. You must purchase the T-shirt separately. This way we can pass the saving on to you. If you don't want a t-shirt at all, why be charged for a shirt that will only end up as a car wash rag?

If you want a t-shirt, we must receive your by April 24. If we do not, we will not order you a t-shirt.

REFUND/TRANSFER POLICY

Entry fees are non-refundable and non-transferable. Once we accept your entry, you will not receive a refund if you cannot participate. You may not give or sell your number to anyone else. Due to the extraordinary cost of putting on the half marathon, and per similar policies at all running races, this policy will apply to all entrants and is in effect whether you are injured, have an unexpected family/business emergency, have a medical emergency, etc. There are no exceptions.

COURSE MODIFICATIONS

Tucson Racing reserves the right to postpone, cancel or change the race or race format at any time to ensure athlete safety. If Tucson Racing determines conditions that might compromise the safety of participants, Tucson Racing, in its sole judgment, may cancel, postpone, or change the race and/or race format. No Refunds or Transfers will be given.
