All registration and products fees are all non-refundable, even in the event of race cancellation. The only exception is for official military deployment (CED Orders). For more information, visit our Registration Policies page.

- All registered runners will receive a unique bib that must be worn on race day. If you are not wearing your bib during the race, you will be considered a bandit runner and will be escorted off the course.
- The bib must be visible and worn on the front outside of all clothing during the entire race.
- Do not alter the bib in any way.
- Once assigned, bib numbers are non-transferable and must be worn by the registrant to whom they have been assigned. If race organizers become aware that a runner has participated in an event with a bib that is not registered to the runner, both the runner, and the person whom the bib is originally assigned to will be prohibited from participating in future Air Force Marathon events.

- We use the MYLAPS bib, which has the timing device built in. You will not receive a separate timing device.
- Please do not fold the bib. The Air Force Marathon is not responsible for lost or damaged bibs/timing devices.
- Awards for the overall and military winners will be based on gun time; age category winners will be determined by chip time. Chip times will be used for your official running time and on your certificate of race completion.
- The timing device is disposable and does not need to be returned.

Course time limits will be strictly enforced for the safety of all participants. Public roads will be re-opened and all runners should be back at the finish line by the time limit. Any runner who refuses to abide by this policy will be disqualified from running in subsequent years. After the time limit is up, no official times will be given. There will be no exceptions to this policy. This limit is based on chip time, not on gun time.

The Event Alert System (EAS) will be used to communicate the status of the course and event conditions to participants, volunteers, and staff on race day based on the weather and other conditions in and around Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and Wright State University. Colored signage will be located throughout the event venues including all medical stations, throughout the race course, Health & Fitness Expo, and at the start/finish line indicating the levels which range from Low (Green) to Moderate (Yellow) to High (Red) to Event Cancelled (Black). The colored signs also include short messages. Pre-race, all event staff, volunteers, and participants should familiarize themselves with the anticipated event conditions, safety procedures, and the Event Alert System. Alert updates will be communicated via email, social media, and/or mobile app.
