A. 100% refund through the Refund Protection Policy

A 100% refund is only available to those who purchased the third party Refund Protection Policy offered at the time of registration.

You can make your refund claim through this link: Request My Refund

If the reason for withdrawing is not covered under the Refund Protection's policy terms, you can still
make a request for a 50% withdrawal refund, defer your entry, or transfer your bib to another runner.

NOTE: Claims should be made within 30 days after a covered reason first begins and may require supporting documents (i.e., doctor’s note).

B. Request a 50% withdrawal refund

If you wish to withdraw, but did not purchase the Refund Protection Policy, or if your policy claim was denied, you can request a refund for 50% of your registration fees. The deadline to request a 50% withdrawal refund is May 20, 2025.

To make a 50% withdrawal refund request, email run@trailrunning.ca.

C. Deferral into a not yet sold out CMTR race

You can defer your entry into a not yet sold out CMTR race (excluding
the Squamish 50) up to but not including next year’s WHM.

To receive a 100% deferral of fees, please make your deferral request up to 30 days before the WHM race day. Between 14 to 30 days before WHM race day, you can defer 50% of race fees.
