No. Almost all race costs are paid before race day and cannot be recovered, so entries are non-refundable. The one exception is the optional Refund Guarantee, below.

If you can't run, you have three options, each of which must be requested by 6:00pm the day before the race: transfer to another Evergreen Trail Runs event in the same year, defer to the same race next year, or give your bib to another runner. An entry can be deferred or transferred only once, and free entries that have been deferred or transferred are not eligible for a voucher. Cancelled or postponed races are not eligible for refunds.

Optional refund protection you can buy through Ultrasignup when you register. It is run entirely by Ultrasignup. With it, you can cancel up to 24 hours before the first start of the day (not your own distance's start) and receive an 80% refund from Ultrasignup, using the email they send you after registration.

Yes, until 6:00pm the day before the race. In your Ultrasignup account, choose race credit: you receive a credit worth 95% of your registration fee, good for any Evergreen Trail Runs race with open registration. If the new race costs less, the difference is not refunded. Transfers between Evergreen Trail Runs and Orca Running races are not possible, and an entry can be transferred only once.

Race transfer instructions

Yes, until 6:00pm the day before the race, through your Ultrasignup account. The deferral fee is 5% of the registration fee. Once deferred, it is up to you to re-register for next year's race; if you have not applied the deferral by the time registration closes or the race sells out, it is void. An entry can be deferred only once.

Deferral instructions

Yes. Before registration closes, change it in your Ultrasignup account; after that, in person at packet pickup. Moving to a longer distance costs the difference in entry fee; moving to a shorter one is free but the difference is not refunded.

Please tell us before you switch. Running a different distance than the one you are registered for scrambles the results and delays the awards.

Distance change instructions

Yes. Bib transfers to another runner for the same race can be done online until registration closes, and after that in person at packet pickup or on race morning.

Bib transfer instructions

You can defer to the following year at no cost, or receive a refund. Contact us with proof of pregnancy before the normal deferral deadline.

• 5K and 5 mile: 12 and older may run independently, at their parent or guardian's discretion. Ages 8 to 12 may run if accompanied the whole way by an adult guardian who is also registered for the race. Under 8 may not run.
• 10K and 12 mile: 16 and older may run independently. Ages 12 to 16 may run if accompanied the whole way by a registered adult guardian. Under 12 may not run.

Parents can ask for an exception by emailing info@evergreentrailruns.com at least five days before race day with a short note on the child's trail running experience.

Yes: runners 22 and under or 65 and over get 15% off the registration fee. Use the discount form linked on this page.

Overall winners are scored by gun time (clock time): the first three runners of each gender across the finish line, regardless of when they crossed the start. If the race starts in waves and you think you might place, start in the first wave, near the front, and answer the estimated-finish-time question at registration honestly.

No timing system is perfect. Wear your bib visibly on the front of your outermost layer. In some cases we can issue a gun time but not a chip time. Personal GPS data can help us investigate a result but is never the sole basis for an official one. Awards are collected at the race; we do not mail them.

Yes, since 2023. When you register you can choose male, female, non-binary, or prefer not to say. There are overall awards for the top three non-binary runners in every race, collected at the Evergreen tent. Choose prefer not to say if you would rather not be eligible for overall awards.

We only cancel when the safety risk is real: extreme heat or cold, hazardous air, unexpected trail closures, dangerous animals on the course, and the like. Whenever possible we postpone rather than cancel. If a race is postponed and you cannot make the new date, you can defer to next year for free, or transfer to another Evergreen Trail Runs event that year for a reduced fee of $5. Cancelled or postponed races are not eligible for refunds. We will do our best to reach every registered runner as early as we can.

Dogs are welcome at the start and finish area, but not on the course.
