Event Cancellation:
A YellowJacket Racing owned or managed event may be delayed or cancelled due to adverse, inclement, or unsafe weather. Should the event be delayed, the starting time of the event will be moved back accordingly. The delay will be communicated to all participants. The YellowJacket Racing management team and local law enforcement has the authority to cancel an event. If cancellation of an event takes place, please follow instructions of the event officials and local law enforcement personnel. Your entry fee is not refundable if an event is cancelled due to adverse, inclement, or unsafe weather. The Race Director also reserves the right to modify the course at any time before or during an event by his/her own judgment or if instructed by local law enforcement personnel or park officials.

Refunds:
NO CASH REFUNDS, NO EXCEPTIONS.
Event entry fees may be transferred to next year's event only plus a $15 transfer fee. A transfer request must be received 30 days prior to the event via email or in writing.  No refunds will be made on cancellations less than 30 days prior to the race.  A transfer request made after the start of an event will not be honored. In the case of a duplicate online entry or accidental double charge, a refund check will be issued.  Refund checks require 2-4 weeks to be processed. 
 

There is a $25.00 charge for returned checks.

Transferability of Entry:
Event entry fees are not transferable to another person. This is considered to be fraud by the USA Triathlon organization, which issues our event insurance.  ID is required at packet pick-up.  Selling your race slot or transfer of your slot is strictly prohibited!  If you sell or transfer your race slot, you will be disqualified from the event and you, as well as the racer who used your slot will be unable to race in another YellowJacket Racing event for a minimum of 2 years.  Additionally, we will report the infraction to USA Triathlon or sanctioning institute, which may subject to you to further sanctions.

Mail-in Entries
Mail-in entries must be completed in their entirety with proper payment or it will be returned to you.

USA Triathlon
USAT requires that all USAT-sanctioned events charge an additional $9.00 per person USAT fee for non-USAT members. This $9.00 fee is a temporary one-day license, which allows you to participate in that USAT-sanctioned event. Current USAT members do not incur this fee.
