TEMPORARY REFUND POLICY

During this time of uncertainty, HMF has instituted a temporary refund policy to provide participants a safety net for their half marathon and marathon events while race plans are further developed. The HMF staff will be prepared for many event iterations so please check back for regular updates. Register early to ensure your spot as 50% capacity is set for all race categories. 100% of entry fee is refundable for all entries through February 28th. Details below.

Virtual Events

Instructions for Race Distance Change:
