ATTENTION! Please be aware of potential scammers trying to sell bibs.
If you are looking to purchase a transfer bib from someone:

  • We recommend you DO NOT transfer money to a seller until you have verified with us that the person selling their bib is registered and has one available to transfer, or ask for proof via official confirmation email, account screenshot, etc. Please use due caution as you would if you were purchasing something from a stranger on Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist.
  • Feel free to email us at admin@goalfoundation.com to verify a participant’s registration status before sending money and facilitating a transfer. We suggest you ask for the person's first name, last name, and phone number or email address in order to verify the registration.
    • If you receive an email from another address that does not EXACTLY match ours, please notify us immediately. You will only receive registration information from admin@goalfoundation.com.

  4. At the bottom, click on the grey button labeled “Registration Options,” then click on “Transfer”
  5. Enter the participant’s first name, last name, and email address. You can select between paying the $25 Fee yourself or passing it along to the new participant to pay.
  6. The GOAL Foundation does not process refunds for transferred registrations. The agreed upon sell price will be exchanged between the two individual parties directly, with the exception of the the $25 transfer fee processed through the participant portal. Please review scammer warning below before transferring funds to someone you do not know directly.
TAKE NOTE: If the new participant does not complete their registration for the event through the provided link, the transfer will not count as registered.
If you miss the deadline and would like to transfer a bib to another runner, both parties must show their IDs at the expo to complete the transfer.

No refunds will be given if you transfer to a lesser distance. Additional distance changes will incur a $25 fee.
TAKE NOTE: You may only change your distance category up until the deadline or until the distance you'd like to like to transfer into is full.

If you miss the deadline and would like to transfer to a different distance, we may be able to accommodate your request at the expo if the distance you would like to transfer into isn't sold out.

If the event sells out prior to the May 6, 2023 deadline, transfer requests and distance changes may be limited.
