Failure to follow this guideline will result in disqualification from the event and possibly being banned from future events. Seriously. We're all out here for some fun, so let's have some!

Natural Disaster Policy - If an Act of God/Terrorism/Community Disaster occurs, what happens?
1. We make decisions based on safety first.
2. The municipality (California State Parks, San Diego Regional Parks, National Park. Service) will also make a decision based on park impact and participant safety.
3. Race courses and race date will be altered as seen fit by race management and the Parks.
4. Athletes in a postponed race will be transferred to the rescheduled date at no charge.
5. Athletes that choose to not participate in the new event date can transfer to another XTERRA SoCal Trail Run event for the $10.00 transfer fee.
6. The XTERRA SoCal Trail Run Series cannot accept the risk of a disaster for everyone. Each athlete needs to accept the risk of his or her entry fee. There will be NO REFUNDS. The money you paid is spent developing that race.

Why? We do not save any money if the race is postponed or you choose not run. We have paid for every supply and service needed for that race. We pay for all race supplies or services associated with that race, regardless of the outcome. These include paying for permits, rangers, our staff, offices, administration costs all year. It's not ideal, and nobody likes wasting money, but we unfortunately cannot predict what will happen on race day.
