7. May I receive a refund?
A. No, there are NO REFUNDS if this race is cancelled. Please keep this in mind when making your decision to register for this race.
Decision-making authority to proceed or cancel the race based on weather conditions rests almost solely with Maryland Transportation Authority. A cancellation could arise over a "likely" forecast of inclement weather. During Inclement weather, the MDTA does not implement two-way operations on the Bay Bridge's westbound span. As such, the eastbound span cannot close for the event and the race would be cancelled.
Public notification of the decision to cancel can be made as late at 5 a.m. on the day of the race.
8. May I transfer my registration to another runner?
A. No, we do not currently allow for registration transfers. If another runner is caught running with your bib intentionally you and the other runner will be barred from joining in our events again.
9. May I pick up a race packet for another runner?
A. Yes, you can pick up a packet for a friend! We just ask that you only pick up one additional packet. You will just need their E-registration card which will be emailed out the week of the race.
10. How long do I have to complete the course?
All participants must be off the Bay Bridge by 11:00 am (Mile 5) and across the finish line by 11:30 am. This is about a 30-minute-per-mile pace. Those who cannot keep this pace may be picked up by the sag vehicle.
