Registrants in the 2009 OneAmerica 500 Festival Mini-Marathon who are unable to participate may transfer their entry to another person. The transfer option will be available beginning January 19, 2009 through April 10, 2009 5 P.M. EDT. There will be a $20 administration fee associated with all transfers that the person transferring into the Mini-Marathon will incur upon registration.

How the Transfer program works

Registrants wishing to transfer their entry to another person must first find an individual who wishes to receive or purchase their entry. Persons wishing to enter the Mini-Marathon must first find someone wanting to transfer out of the race. The 500 Festival does not keep a “waiting” list of people wishing to enter or transfer out of the Mini-Marathon.  We recommend checking local and national running websites for people looking to transfer into or out of the Mini-Marathon.

Payment of the original entry fee is the responsibility of the parties transferring the entry.

The person transferring INTO the Mini-Marathon MUST complete the Transfer Request application. Because a race waiver is required, ONLY the person transferring into the Mini-Marathon can fill out the Transfer Request application. You will be required to supply the name and confirmation number from the original application to complete the Transfer Request application. You will be required to pay the transfer administration fee at that time.

Transfer Request applications are only available on-line. Click here to complete a Transfer Request.

Once the name and confirmation number has been matched to the entry database, an email will be sent to both parties confirming the approval of the Transfer Request.
