Yes, we offer several great options to transfer to another event or defer to a future year. But deferment requests must be made at least 30 days prior to the original event date. (In the case of the 2025 Livermore Valley Half Marathon & 5K, that means the deadline has already passed.) To make the those edits, please visit EDIT REGISTRATION. We also offer insurance if purchased with your original entry - claims can be placed here.
