I registered at an early registration site in person. Why did I receive an e-mail confirmation?

Refunds
I registered for the race but I now have a scheduling conflict. How do I obtain a refund?
Sorry you will be unable to attend. Unfortuantely, there are no refunds.
 
 
The Race
I'm a walker but would like to participate in the 8K.
Don't worry about it! We have many walkers so feel free to join them!
 
Will the race be cancelled if it rains?
No. The Brea 8K will be run rain or shine.
 
Kids' Fun Run
If my child is too young to run in the kids' fun run, may I accompany them?
Yes. Parents of children in this race may (without entry or charge) walk or jog with them or push younger children in strollers, but must always exercise caution among this race's smaller participants. Adults who wish to enjoy Finish Line food with their child/ren must be registered for the Brea 8K (but don't actually need to walk or run it), as each person entering the food court must have his or her own bib number.
