What is the Bupa Great Run deferment policy?
All fees are non-refundable.
However a person who has been accepted as an entrant in to a 2010 Bupa Great Run event who subsequently decides not to run prior to the event is eligible for a guaranteed place at the standard entry fee in the 2011 event.
Entrants can only defer their place for a maximum of one year.
Once the entrant has committed to deferring their entry they cannot be reinstated into the 2010 event. Your decision is final.
All requests to defer entry must be made prior to the event. No deferrals will be made retrospectively.
The following procedures must be adopted when requesting a deferment: Deferment by post will be accepted if the letter is postmarked before race day. Where the race number and chip timing device have been issued these must be returned with the letter as confirmation of the decision to defer entry.
If deferring your entry in person you must bring your letter requesting deferment along with your race number and chip timing device to our Bupa Great Run Information Desk on race weekend.
When deferring your entry until 2011 by post, the letter must clearly state: Name, Address, Date of Birth, Confirmation of deferment and be signed by the entrant. This must be accompanied by the race number and chip timing device if these have been received by the entrant prior to deferment.
The letter should be returned in the pre paid timing chip envelope provided within your race pack.
Entrants opting for deferment will be added to a database and will be contacted (via email) prior to the opening of entries to the 2011 event. They will be given a period of 28 days to commit and pay for the guaranteed place in 2011. Once this time period has passed the offer of the guaranteed place automatically lapses and the race organisers have no further commitment to providing a place to the runner in the 2011 event.
Transferring the guaranteed place to another person will not be permitted.
