Refund Policy

Active.com now has a  program offering Full Refund Insurance on race entry fees for a very low fee of $7.00.  We highly recommend that all registrants opt in for this insurance.  We have adjusted our budget accordingly and therefore Lavaman will no longer be offering any refunds. We will still offer the ability to switch from an individual entry to a relay team up until 90 days out from the Race.  After that there will be a $25.00 administrative fee for changes.
