  •  Are Covid-19-related circumstances included? No, Covid-19 is not covered under the list of refundable terms and conditions.
  • A personal decision that you no longer want to attend the Race.
• General Conditions of Refund
  • Any reason for refund must NOT have been known or reasonably foreseeable at the time you Registered. If you had a pre-existing medical condition that you were aware of at the time you Registered and that would normally not prevent you from attending the Race, you may be eligible for a refund, at the sole discretion of TSFM, and upon the submission of documentation from a Doctor that confirms the details of your pre-existing medical condition, the date it changed and that it prevented you from attending the Race. 
  • You must make all arrangements to arrive in time to attend the Race, including arranging any necessary permits, travel documents or visas.
  • You must take all reasonable precautions or make reasonable alternate arrangements to prevent or reduce any refund request.
  • You will be asked to provide supporting evidence at your own expense as well as a copy of the Registration confirmation. TSFM will not issue refunds where you cannot provide sufficient supporting evidence.
  • The Refundable Terms are only applicable to personal unforeseen and emergency circumstances that prevent you from attending the Race. For example, if an individual member of an Ultra Relay is approved for a refund, such refund applies only to the individual member and not the entire team.
    • In addition, if an initial registration includes more than one participant, an approved refund for one participant does not apply to the additional participants, unless each additional participant also applies for, and meets the criteria, for a Refund. Maximum refund value per person will not exceed the total value of their respective initial Race Registration purchase.
    • These reasons for refund are considered on an entirely discretionary basis and are not to be taken as a guarantee of refund.
