Do you offer refunds or deferrals?
Unfortunately, the event maintains a No Refund and No Deferral policy. No exceptions.
Can I transfer my bib to someone else?
Yes! We do allow registrants to transfer (sell) your bib to someone else and can be done directly in your race roster profile without our assistance. Approximate cost is $13.00. The deadline to transfer bibs is
October 15th at 10:00am.
Can I switch my distance after I register?
Yes! Subject to distance availability, registrants can change their distance in their race roster profile. There is a small transfer fee plus the difference in price (if moving up distances).
When does online registration close?
Online registration will close on October 15th at 10:00am.
Are Strollers allowed?
Strollers are allowed in the 5km and 10km races only.
Can I run with my dog?
Unfortunately, due to the size of the races and starting corral areas, non-service dogs are not permitted.
Is there a minimum age to participate?
16 years, as of race day is the minimum age for the half-marathon.
18 years, as of race day is the minimum age for the marathon.
I can no longer race. Can some else race under my bib?
Unfortunately, not. Once the transfer deadline has passed it is no longer possible and cannot be done on-site. Due to safety and insurance reasons, IDs will be checked to verify registrants during on-site registration.
Is there a course cut-off time?
The course closes at 3:00pm for all races. All marathon runners must be past the 21.1km mark by 11:30am in order to continue. Those that miss the cut-off time will be bussed back to the start/finish area and will
receive a half marathon finishers medal.
Is this event a qualifier?
Yes! The Niagara Falls Marathon is a qualifier for the Boston Marathon
