- No refunds on services fees, donations or merchandise.
- Deferrals are only good for the following year, in the same event.
- No refunds on transactions over 365 days.
Deferrals allow a participant unable to attend this year’s event to transfer their registration to the following year. The deferral is applied only to the event in question, in this case the 2024 Life Time Chicago Half Marathon & 5K Presented by HOKA.
Should you need to defer or decide to change your registration for any reason, please follow the instructions on how to defer your registration through the link below.
- Entry transfers are not permitted.
- Active duty and military personnel who are deployed or recalled may be refunded or defer at no cost. Proof of deployment or recall is required.
- Life Time reserves the right, in its sole and complete discretion, to deny entry, to revoke the entry application of any applicant at any time, and/or to disqualify any individual from the Event.
- Those who violate our registration policy may be disqualified and potentially banned from participating in this and/or any other Life Time Event.
