Double 5K slots for adults are all claimed. There are lots of Double 5Ks for Kids Only slots (cost effective for families, no shirts for the kids) and Double 5Ks for Guardians Only slots (cost effective for families, no shirts or medals for the adult). We want to make sure we reserve a portion of our event for our community's children to see what fun getting active is, participate in an event, and enjoy the motivation that medal at the finish line can bring, so they can use that as an example going forward through 2014.
This race has a cap for each distance, and the entry fees are structured as pricing tiers based on how full the distance is to capacity.

Register by November 1st to get your name personalized on your bib. See Perks here...
Requests for refunds will be processed as long as
- The race is not sold out, or
- The race is sold out and someone is on the wait list that will take your spot. For the 5K, we'll allow up to 50 refunds per event day after sellout, leaving those spots for downgraded half and full marathoners.
Refunds will be subject to a $15 Administration Fee. This race is put on by one person, and it takes time and effort to process refunds on top of an already long to-do list of race-related items.
No refunds will be processed after December 1st, including the event of inclement weather.
A bib transfer is where you arrange with the race to transfer your entire race entry to another person. This new person has to sign a waiver with the race, gets the race shirt (in the size ordered by the original participant), and participates in the race. The original participant becomes no longer registered for the race. It’s the original participant’s responsibility to collect the entry fee they had to pay from the person they are transferring their entry to.
Bib transfers will be allowed until December 1st but will be subject to a $15 Administration Fee. This race is put on by one person, and it takes time and effort to process handle data transfers / prep of new bibs on top of an already long to-do list of race-related items.
How to Transfer Your Bib:
1) Original Bib Holder : Email the race and let us know what day/distance you would like transferred and the name of the person who will take the entry
2) New Entrant : Register online using the Transfer category. (NOT SET UP AT THIS EARLY DATE. EMAIL info@newyearsdouble.com if you already need a transfer)
3) The Race Director will email both the Original Bib Holder and the New Entrant to confirm the transfer is complete.
No transfers will be processed after December 1st.
Note that it is never okay to allow someone to else to use your bib without a proper bib transfer arranged with the Race Director. This can lead to serious liability and medical risks in the chance of emergency and jeopardize the future of the event for everyone.
Down/up-grades by existing participants will be accepted while bibs and medals remain available for that day/distance combo.
Our top priority in the case-by-case decisions to allow distance changes as requested will be to make sure that, no matter your speed, you receive the medal for the distance you signed up to complete, should you complete it. Luckily, in ordering medals, we account in our order for the chance that some people may want to switch. But of course, we can't have 1,000 entrants all switch to the 5K - there just wouldn't be medals for everyone.
For the half and full marathon: Should a distance sell out early, we will start a wait list only until December 1st. Participants allowed into the race after being on the wait list will pay the latest, final, race entry fee for that distance.
For the 5K: We will not have a wait list, instead leaving refunded spots open for half and full marathoners who need to downgrade distances.
We will email you if you come off the wait list, and you will have 24 hours to approve the entry and associated entry fee. If you are signed up as a backup for another distance, let us know and we will transfer your registration and only charge any upgrade charge of entry fee differences.
No one will be allowed into the race off of the wait list after December 1st.
- failure to follow these can results in disqualification or potential future ban from The Active Joe events:
- No Race Day Registration.
- No dogs or strollers are allowed on the race course.
- Runners and walkers are both welcome, as long as you can finish your chosen race distance by the time limit! With two days of events, we sadly can’t offer extended course hours.
- Awards not picked up at the award ceremony will not be mailed as they are very fragile.
- This is a private event, so unregistered participants are not allowed. "Banditting" (as this action is referred to) is frowned upon in the running community and unfair to the runners who paid for the opportunity to participate. Race entry fees go for a lot more than water on a course, medals at the finish line, and a shirt in your race packet. It also exposes an event to serious liability risk. It stresses race resources that were calibrated for the sold-out number of participants and therefore can put other participants', the paid participants, health or safety at risk. Those who bandit any portion of the race may be banned from future events by The Active Joe.
- Unregistered pacers are expressly prohibited in this event. In our definition, an unregistered pacer means a runner who does not have a race entry who joins into the race for at least a mile of the course to help support another runner who is registered. Besides presenting an unfair competitive advantage to one runner, regardless of whether you are a competitive participant or not, it creates a huge traffic issue on the course if this rule is disregarded. Anyone found using an unregistered pacer will be disqualified from the race.
- Note that it is never okay to allow someone to else to use your bib without a proper bib transfer arranged with the Race Director. This can lead to serious liability and medical risks in the chance of emergency and jeopardize the future of the event for everyone.
- Our primary goal is to provide a safe event for participants, volunteers, and the community alike. If something arises that threatens that safety, then a) the event will be altered as it is reasonably possible without stressing other resources, b) the events may be delayed during the morning, or c) the event may be canceled. The event can not be rescheduled for another date due to resource availability in the event of cancelation.
- Event shirts not picked up at packet pickup or race day will not be mailed.
