FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Margaritaville Run Orlando
What is the race cancellation policy?
THE RACE IS STILL ON!
Weather, emergencies, or other issues of public safety may cause cancellation or postponement of the Event(s), outside of the control of event management. In the instance of an unforeseen event cancellation, a majority of event expenses have already incurred. Should such event cancellation or postponement occur, specific protocol for allocating participant registration fees would be communicated to participants and would specify participant response time within a limited time window following the cancellation to allow for adequate management action.
In the event the race is canceled due to weather, emergencies, or other issues of public safety, Margaritaville Run will switch all entries to virtual and mail all runner items to the shipping address provided at registration.
