Tater Trot 5K Racine County

Shoe Tags Are Your Ticket to Race!

For accurate timing, all participants must wear both their race bib and shoe tags. Those missing or improperly wearing either tag will be disqualified and asked to leave the course. This ensures safety and accurate race data (insurance requirements).

Say goodbye to pull tabs! We're keeping things contactless: tie one shoe tag to each shoe (left and right). No tags, no time!

Don't forget your bib! Wear it visibly on the front at all times.

Remember:

• Both bib and shoe tags are mandatory for timing.
• Tie one shoe tag to each shoe (left and right).
• Wear your bib visibly on the front.
• Missing or improper wear leads to disqualification.

Run with confidence, run with tags!

We Got You Covered! (But No Refunds, Sorry )

Life throws curveballs, we get it. But unfortunately, refunds are not possible for our events, even for blizzards, tsunamis, locust attacks, or forgetting you signed up for the wrong race (it happens!). We pour our hearts (and a lot of resources) into making these events amazing, and sadly, refunds wouldn't be sustainable.

But don't despair! We've got some awesome alternatives to keep you in the action:

• Spread the word: Refer friends and score discounts or even free entry!
• Pass the torch: Transfer your bib to a lucky buddy (they'll owe you big!).
• Upgrade your style: Swap your shirt size before it's too late.
• Conquer a different date: Defer your registration to another event.
• Challenge yourself: Change your distance – go shorter or even longer!

Have a unique "excuse" for needing a refund? We're open to hearing it! Share it with us on social media, and we might just feature it in our next policy update.

Remember, participating in our events is all about community, fun, and pushing your limits. While refunds aren't on the menu, we hope these options help you stay involved and create unforgettable memories on race day!
