Bib Transfers
We continue to allow race bib transfers between participants for all our events.
Transfers of registrations to another participant can be completed through Race Roster until March 15. Please visit your Race Roster profile and click on the 'TRANSFER' icon. All transfers completed through Race Roster are subject to a $10 transfer fee as well as any Race Roster fees and applicable taxes. Please note THE ORIGINAL REGISTRATION FEES WILL BE USED TOWARDS THE REGISTRATION OF ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL. IF YOU ARE SELLING YOUR BIB, YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR COLLECTING FUNDS FROM THE INDIVIDUAL YOU ARE SELLING YOUR BIB TO. THE ORIGINAL REGISTRATION FEES WILL NOT BE REFUNDED THROUGH RACE ROSTER. Once you click on the transfer link the original participant will enter the email address of the individual they are selling the bib to. The new participant will receive an email from Race Roster confirming the transfer and will complete their registration. The original amount paid will be applied to their new registration and the new participant will also be charged any applicable fees.
Transfers for the 2-Person relay can ONLY be completed at kit pick-up.
Once our participant lists are generated for bib printing, we will NO LONGER accept transfers through Race Roster.
After the March 15th cut-off, all bib transfers take place at RACE KIT PICK-UP ONLY.
The process for late transfers is as follows:
The buyer (new runner) will be required to attend Race Kit Pick-Up with confirmation from the seller (original runner) of the sale. Confirmation can be either an email or text from the registered runner granting permission to transfer their bib to the new runner. Ideally this will include the registration receipt.
Once we see the confirmation, we will arrange the transfer and make all the necessary changes. THERE WILL BE A $20 TRANSFER FEE PAYABLE AT KIT PICK-UP AT THE TIME OF TRANSFER. The new participant will be required to sign a waiver at time of transfer.
It is the sole responsibility of the seller and buyer to arrange any financial transfer that occurs in buying/selling bibs. Our team will simply facilitate the transfer data, obtain a signed waiver and ensure the correct name appears on the results.
Finisher shirt - situations may occur where the person purchasing a bib is a different shirt size that the original participant. Initially you will receive the shirt size that was ordered at time of registration. We do this to ensure that every registered participant receives the correct size shirt that they ordered. If you require a different shirt size we will do our best to accommodate you; however, we cannot do this until race day. Please come see us at the merchandise trailer where we will have all remaining finishers shirts and we will gladly exchange for a different size. We cannot guarantee that we will have the size you want; however, in most cases it is not an issue.
PLEASE READ: IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING PURCHASING A BIB FROM SOMEONE YOU DON'T KNOW (WHEN NOT USING THE RACE ROSTER TRANSFER FUNCTION)
People looking to sell or purchase a bib after the March cut-off date will be directed to our event Facebook page where they can make a public post inquiring to buy or sell. Unfortunately, we have recently experienced some fraudulent sales or attempts to fraudulently sell. If you are purchasing a bib from someone you do not know, we STRONGLY suggest that you contact us at questions@wpshalfmarathon.ca to confirm the person you are purchasing from is a registered participant before transferring any funds. The seller will have a Race Roster confirmation number they can provide to you. Our event makes every attempt to monitor our Facebook page and remove/report any posts that are suspicious in nature. We also monitor our event email closely to respond to all inquiries as quickly as possible. The WPS Half Marathon is not responsible for any fraudulent sales of bibs; however, we will do as much as we can to assist people to ensure they do not fall victim to unscrupulous online activity. Please do your own personal due-diligence as well as contact us for confirmation prior to agreeing to any sale.
