Race Roster collects a fee on all transactions (processing fees) as this is an industry standard. Their team assists our races from beginning to end, and this fee allows them to provide meaningful customer support to all participants, covers merchant costs of processing the transaction, the technology costs of developing an online registration platform, includes event cancellation protection for participants in the case of an emergency, and ensures that the online race experience is seamless for all.
We understand that some people aren’t familiar with where these fees are spent, and may think they are an irrelevant added cost, though without them, we would not be able to host the events that we do.
No. Canada Running Series Race Credits do not have an expiry date.
Participants can transfer their registration to someone else online until September 27th at 11:59pm date based on availability. After this time, all transfers must be made in-person at Race Kit Pickup at the Expo.
Before September 28th, to transfer your registration, visit the event page and click the ‘Transfer’ button on the left-hand menu. There is a $10 administrative fee (plus HST and processing fees) charged to the new participant. Once the transfer has been accepted and completed by the new participant, the original participant will be refunded their original entry fee, less processing fees. No transfer of funds is required to be made outside of Race Roster. The original participant will be refunded automatically once the new participant has completed their registration, paying the registration fee plus the $10 administrative fee.
At Race Kit Pickup, the new participant will receive the original participant’s shirt size and style. There will be an opportunity to exchange the un-worn shirt on race day, after the new participant completes their race, pending size availability.
*Please note that each registration is restricted to one Transfer only.
**Only transfers executed through the official race registration platform, Race Roster, will be accepted. Canada Running Series and the TCS Toronto Waterfront Marathon are not responsible for transfer arrangements made outside of Race Roster. Illegitimate registrations will not be recognized by the event.
In the case of an in-person race cancellation, participants will have the option to transfer into the virtual event or receive a refund.
