RACE DAY: September 20, 2025
Start: 8:00 AM
Start Location: Millard Tydings Memorial Park - Commerce St, Havre de Grace, Maryland
BIB MAILING OPTION
If you are participating in the in-person race and can not make it to packet pickup, or if you simply prefer having the convenience, you may choose to have your race bib and shirt mailed to you. The fee for the bib mailing service is $38.00 per registrant. The bib mailing option will close on August 26th at 11:59 pm. Virtual participants can pick-up at any of the above pick-up sessions or will have their race packet mailed to them automatically at no additional charge. If you sign up for the virtual race after August 26th and select the bib mailing option, your packet will be mailed post race.
Please note: If you select the bib mailing option you cannot defer your entry to the following year after the bib mailing cutoff date of August 26th.
BEER BRACELET
Each registrant (21 years of age and older) receives one complimentary beer at the post-race party. We also offer a beer bracelet as an add-on during registration which entitles the wearer to bottomless beverages at the post-race party. The bracelet costs $28.50. Please do not select this option if under 21 years of age. Bracelets are non-transferable, and Charm City Run reserves the right to deny service to anyone who appears intoxicated or cannot produce photo ID when requested.

REFUND, DEFERRAL, TRANSFER, AND CANCELLATION POLICIES
We want to be completely transparent with our policies regarding refunds, deferrals, and cancellations. If you are interested in signing up for this race please read this section carefully prior to registering.
Refunds
Race registration fees (and the processing charge from RunSignup) are not refundable. These funds are used to pay for race premiums, permits, supplies, staffing, and other costs incurred before, during, and after the event is held. To be consistent and fair to everyone we cannot make exceptions to this policy.
Deferrals
We offer the option for registrants to defer their entry to the following year's event based on Charm City Run's General Deferral fee schedule:
Until September 6, 2025 (2 weeks prior to race day) - $33.80
September 7, 2025 - September 19, 2025 - $44.40
Registrants may defer their entry by going into their profile on runsignup.com and choosing "Manage Registration" next to the race.
PLEASE NOTE: If you select the bib mailing option during registration your deferral deadline is different than the dates listed above. The deferral deadline for those selecting the bib mailing option is AUGUST 26TH.
Transfers
We offer the option for registrants to transfer their entry to another eligible participant up to September 19, 2025. After this deadline passes we are unable to allow transfers as race materials have been prepped for the event. Again, to be consistent and fair to everyone we cannot make exceptions to this policy. Registrants may transfer their entry to another registrant by going into their profile on runsignup.com and choosing "Manage Registration" next to the race.
Cancellation
2020 showed just how unpredictable our world can be, and the running industry was certainly no exception. We know that it's important to have as much information at your disposal when making a decision whether to sign up for a race or not, and we want you to know exactly what your options will be should the 2025 in-person race not be able to take place as originally planned. Our regular cancellation policy found here covers scenarios that could prompt the cancellation of an event including weather, local emergencies, public health emergencies, etc. If you have any questions about our cancellation policy please email us at events@charmcityrun.com PRIOR to registering.
DOWNGRADES & UPGRADES
If you signed up for one distance would like to downgrade to a shorter distance or you signed up for the in-person race and would like to switch to the virtual race, you can make that change through your RunSignup account. Log on, click “Manage Registration” next to the race, click “Transfer Event,” and select the relay. Please note: you will not receive a credit or refund for any difference in price paid.
If you would like to switch upgrade to a longer distance, you can follow the same steps above. You will be charged any difference in registration fee from when you originally signed up to the current price.
