Engraving for Finisher Medals
If you would like to order a small metal plate, an iTab, engraved with your name and finish time, to attach to the back of your Finisher’s Medal, you may do so online when you register. The Anchorage RunFest does not fabricate the iTab, we send race results to the manufacturer who mails them directly to participants.
To see what this looks like, or to order one after your event, visit iTAB’s RunFest page.
Refund and transfer Policies
All entry fees are non-refundable and non-transferable—no exceptions. You may not give, sell, or exchange your entry or bib to another person. Entry fees may not be rolled over to another year. This policy applies to all entrants and is in effect no matter what the reason for being unable to participate.
