Transfer Your Entry to Someone Else:

Participants can transfer their race entry to someone else until midnight, 1 December 2024. No transfers will be accepted after this date.

It is not permitted to transfer your race entry to someone else other than through this process, including on Race Day.

It is very important for health and safety reasons for us to know the correct identity of every athlete on course, and accordingly, it is strictly prohibited to race under another person’s race bib.

Any athletes caught doing this will be disqualified and may be prevented from entering future events.

A transfer fee of $25.00 will be charged to the new athlete.

It is not possible to transfer your entry to someone else to a different event.

It is up to the athletes to arrange payment of the entry fee from the new athlete to the withdrawing athlete, organisers will not get involved in this process.

The initial registrant logs into their EventPlus Account.

Click ‘Summary’ from the left-hand menu.

Under the entry you wish to transfer, click the ‘transfer’ button. You will need to enter the email address for the new athlete you wish to transfer the entry to.

The new athlete will be sent an email with instructions on how to accept the transfer. This email link expires after 3 days.
