A: Did you purchase registration insurance? If so, use this link to file a claim with the registration insurance company.
If not, we have a no refund or deferment policy.
Q: Why do you ask for Sex and Gender during registration?
A: The inclusion of sex-related questions on the Akron Marathon Race Series Registration Form aligns with USA Track & Field and World Athletics, our governing bodies, which uses sex for competition and awarding prize money and awards. This ensures compliance with sporting regulations and maintains fairness in competition. Simultaneously, the question about gender identity aims to promote inclusivity within the Akron Marathon Race Series community, reflecting a commitment to recognizing and respecting diverse gender identities. While sex is a regulatory necessity for prize distribution, gender identity ensures a welcoming and representative environment for all participants. Men’s and Women’s Divisions will be classified by sex. Participants who elect to compete in the Non-Binary Division will be eligible for placement awards for 1st – 3rd.
