EPS Half Marathon Race Rules:

1. For the safety and enjoyment of all participants, pets, bicycles, wagons, roller blades, skateboards, hand cycles, motorized vehicles, motorized wheelchairs, unregistered runners, strollers, baby joggers, running with headphones or ear buds, are not allowed.
2. Most of the race takes place using the Edmonton River Valley Park trail system.  The path will not be closed to the public and therefore expect to share the path with other users.  Runners should remain on the right side of the divided path throughout the race.  In the instance where runners are required to use residential roads, they must follow the direction of the race marshal, keeping to the right of the road as indicated or directed by race marshal, and be aware of possible road traffic.
3. The EPS Half Marathon will be using a colour coded Event Alert System (EAS) to communicate the status of course conditions to participants, event staff, leading up to and on race day.

Refund and Bib Transfer Policy

1. No Refunds: Refunds will not be issued unless the Race Roster Enhanced Refund Protection is purchased. Most expenses for organizing an event are incurred prior to the actual event. These expenses include marketing, socks, medals, permits, deposits, and insurance. Processing refunds would place the event at a financial disadvantage. By registering, you acknowledge and accept the risk that if you cannot attend or if the event is canceled, a refund is not guaranteed unless the Refund Protection is purchased.
2. Entry Conditions: All entries are non-refundable (unless Refund Protection is purchased), non-transferable to another person, and non-deferable to future events unless explicitly mentioned otherwise.
3. Transfer Restrictions: Sale or transfer of race entries or bib numbers is strictly prohibited. This policy is in place primarily for safety and administrative reasons. Accurate participant info is vital for emergency situations, and allowing transfers could lead to errors and increased risk. It also prevents scams, ensuring all entries are legitimate. From an administrative standpoint, it minimizes workload, allowing volunteers to focus on key logistics for a successful race. – Update – in recognition of the necessity for flexibility and to accommodate the needs of our participants, we have decided to make a temporary exception and allow bib transfer until August 31, 2025 at 5pm.  
4. Transfers to an alternate distance are permitted until August 31st, 2025, unless the chosen race is already sold out, in which case we cannot accommodate the transfer.

These policies ensure the financial stability and integrity of the event. By registering, participants agree to abide by these terms.
