RACE DAY: September 21, 2024

Start: 8:10 AM 

Start Location: Millard Tydings Memorial Park - Commerce St, Havre de Grace, Maryland

ONSITE REGISTRATION

On-site race registration will be available at the expo (Tydings Park) on Friday, September 20th from 12:00pm to 7:00pm, and, Saturday, September 21st from 6:00am to 7:30am if space is still available.

Distance upgrades and downgrades are available online and at the expo as long as space in the desired race is available. To upgrade your distance (5K to 10K, 5K to half marathon, 10K to half marathon) registrants will pay the difference between their original entry fee and the prevailing fee for the new distance. There is no fee to downgrade your distance (half marathon to 10K, half marathon to 5K, 10K to 5K), and no refunds are given for downgrades.

BIB MAILING OPTION

If you are participating in the in-person race and can not make it to the race expo, or if you simply prefer having the convenience, you may choose to have your race bib and shirt mailed to you for an additional fee. The bib mailing option will close on September 1st at 11:59 pm.

Virtual participants will have their race packet mailed to them automatically at no additional charge.

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 September 1st.

If you are already registered and would like to add bib mailing to your race entry, CLICK HERE to log in to your RunSignup account. Select “Manage Registration” next to the Susquehanna River Running Festival, then “ADD-ONS” at the top of the page.

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 $23.20. 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

As we prepare for a great event in 2024, 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. All interested participants will be shown these policies during the registration process and must agree to adhere to them in order to be admitted to the event.

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 7, 2024 (2 weeks prior to race day) - $17.90

  • September 8, 2024 - September 20, 2024 - $33.80

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 regular bib mailing option is SEPTEMBER 1st.

TRANSFERS

We offer the option for registrants to transfer their entry to another eligible participant up to September 20, 2024. 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

2023 showed just how unpredictable Mother Nature can be. 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 2024 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 would like to downgrade to a shorter race distance or upgrade to a longer race distance, you can make that change through your RunSignup account. Log on, click “Manage Registration” next to the race, click “Transfer Event,” and select new distance. Distance upgrades and downgrades are available online and at the expo as long as space in the desired race is available. For upgrades in distance (5K to 10K, 5K to half marathon, 10k to half marathon) registrants will pay the difference between their original entry fee and the prevailing fee for the new distance. There is no fee to downgrade your distance (half marathon to 10K, half marathon to 5K, 10K to 5K), and no refunds are given for downgrades.
