The Goose Chase has a no refund policy due to the pre-ordering of event shirts, medals, bibs, etc. We understand that emergencies or last minute schedule changes do occur, therefore, to better accommodate you, we have some other options instead.

• You can have someone pick up your packet for you
• You can transfer your entry to someone else
• You can switch to the virtual option and turn in your virtual race time at a later time, and still receive the shirt and medal.
• You can defer to the next year
