Refund & Bad Weather Policy: Once accepted, entry fees will not be refunded for any reason, however credits may be issued for weather-related cancellations (please see "Single Event" and "Six Pack" paragraphs below). Entries cannot be transferred between athletes, or between Stroke & Stride events. A single-event entry is good only for the night it was purchased.

Thunderstorms are a common occurrence in the early evening this time of year, but we make every effort to hold the event. Thunderstorms typically move through fairly quickly, and we may delay the start up to 40 minutes to allow a storm to pass. Boulder Reservoir water safety staff will determine if the storm has moved, or will move, an adequate distance for a safe race. We reserve the right to shorten or eliminate the swim portion if our water safety personnel determine that the weather conditions are unsafe. In the event one or more events are completely cancelled due to weather, we have arranged a rain-date on Thursday August 16th

Single Event Entrants: If the swim is cancelled prior to the start of the race, swim/run participants who have paid the single event entry fee may participate in the 5K run-only, and will also receive a $10 credit toward another stroke & stride event in 2011. Sorry - no credits will be issued if the swim is shortened before the start, or if the race is shortened or halted after the start due to weather. If an event is completely cancelled prior to the start, then all bibs and chips must be turned in at the registration tent, and a full credit will be issued which may be used at any future Stroke & Stride event in the 2012 season. Credits may not be carried beyond the final event in 2012.

Six Pack Entrants: If the swim is cancelled prior to the start of the race, six pack holders may choose to participate in the 5K run-only, OR may turn in their bib and chip at the registration tent and the race will not count as one of their six 2012 races. If they choose to return their bib, they may not participate in the run, and must leave the park immediately after returning their bib and chip. Sorry - no credits will be issued if the swim is shortened before the start, or if the race is shortened or halted after the start due to weather. If an event is completely cancelled prior to the start, then all bibs and chips must be turned in at the registration tent, and the event will not count toward that athlete's 6 races. Credits may not be carried beyond the final event in 2012. No credits or refunds will be issued for unused six-pack numbers at the series end.

RACE CANCELLATION INFORMATION: We do not make any decisions to cancel races due to weather until shortly before the start on the evening of the event. We have set up a Twitter alert system so you will receive a message on your phone (if you are on Twitter) regarding conditions. We typically send out an update around 3pm on race night with current conditions and water temperature. Additional updates will be sent until 5:45pm if necessary. No updates will be sent after 5:45pm. Click here to sign up for Twitter Alerts.
