No, but you can either transfer your registration to another runner or we can defer your registration until next year. To transfer, simply go to the registration site that you used to register and select Transfer. Running Room confirmation emails also have a transfer option. To defer, go to the Race Roster registration site and register in the event "Deferral to 2024". Deferrals are good for the following year only and cannot be transferred to another runner. There is an administration fee for both options.
