How to Save Money On Our Races
We don't have "sales" or offer promo codes for our races, but there are still ways to save money.
1. Register Early: Don't wait to register. If you think you want to run, sign up right away to lock in the very best pricing. Don't worry, you're protected by our ridiculously generous (and unique) refund/transfer/deferment policy. Once you've registered for the race, start locking down your travel details. The further in advance you set up your flights/hotels/etc. the more money you'll save.
2. Help Out: We always need people to help run expo booths, aide stations, help run social media accounts, etc. and we provide generous compensation in the form of free race entries, t-shirts, and more. Take a look at the following programs and select one that's right for you:
- Social Media Ambassador program
- Local Ambassador program
- Civilian Production Corps
- Volunteer opportunities are available on the registration page for each individual race!
3. Military Discount: Okay, this one isn't available for everyone, but we give members of the military and their families special treatment including discounted registration fees and some additional refund/transfer/deferment options. Learn more about our special military programs.
Any first responder discount? Fire/Police? Email a copy/scan of Department ID?
Hi – We only offer a military discount, unfortunately.
ok. thanks for the response.
Do you extend discounts for teams – if so, how many people need to participate to qualify?
Hi Susie – I’m not sure what you mean by extending discounts for teams. We have offered a $10 refund the week of the race if a team has the required six runners. However, moving forward starting in 2020 we will be offering a memorabilia item instead of the refund.
Letβs say I want to run all the vacation races half marathons in a year. Do I need to register for each individually or can we work something out so I can register for all at once?
Hi Cliff – There is not a way to register for all of the races at once, unfortunately. You will need to register for each race separately.
Hello, my sister and team just returned from Grand Circle Trailfest. They were enthralled by the beauty and quite pleased with this well organized event.
I am a hiker/walker, not a runner. Can I participate?
Hi Linda – Yes! We have hikers and walkers at the event, just be sure you can finish in the 4.5 time cutoff.
When will 2020 registration open
Hi Donna – I’m happy to help you – which race are you referring to? Most races open about two months after the current year’s race.
Hi – I am from Phoenix and interested in running lake Powell half marathon. Could you please provide me any coupons code to register or Traveller discount ?
Hi Sitaram – The best way to earn a coupon is to volunteer at an event. You can volunteer at Lake Powell and apply that code to a future event if you would like as well.
Seems like a very expensive race
Good Morning! I’ll be participating in GSM Half on 9/7, but wouldn’t mind helping with the expo or 5k on 9/6. I do have a question, though…do all volunteer positions offer a discount for future races or only specific ones? I saw that all of the ones specifically noted for $100 credit are already full. Thanks!
Hi Julia – All volunteer positions earn a $50 coupon unless noted that it earns $100.
