PLEASE REGISTER FOR THE SPARTAN RACE ON THE SPARTAN SITE WITH YOUR COUPON CODE WITHIN 24 HOURS OF RECEIVING YOUR CODE.
What happens if the Saturday afternoon heat is sold out when I register on the Spartan website? If the Saturday afternoon heat is sold out when you register, you can sign up for any time slot that is open on Saturday, November 9th. As long as you use the unique code provided to you, you will still be racing in the afternoon with your team. If you experience any trouble when registering, please contact us at spartan@specialopssurvivors.org
Is there a fundraising minimum? Yes, there is a mandatory $200 minimum fundraising requirement for all participants. Special Ops Survivors' excellent charity rating ensures that your efforts in raising money will be directly benefiting our Survivors. Although we are asking for a $200 minimum to participate, we hope and encourage you to raise as much as you can. Special recognition and prizes go to the top fundraising teams and individuals!
Why is there a minimum fundraising requirement? The goal of this event is to raise money to support the Survivors of fallen Special Ops Soldiers. With every racer giving a $200 donation, Spartan has generously waived their race fee to help us with our mission.
When is the deadline to register for Spartan Fenway? The deadline to register is October 31, 2019, but in order to receive your custom SOS TEAM shirt, you must register by October 10, 2019.
When is the deadline to meet the $200 minimum fundraising requirement?Each participant must meet the fundraising requirement by November 1, 2019. Participants must agree to meet the minimum fundraising requirement in order to register. If the fundraising minimum is not met by this deadline, participants' credit cards will be charged the $200, minus the portion of the funds that have already been raised.
Can I register without agreeing to meet the minimum fundraising requirement and without acknowledging that I know my credit card will be charged if I don't raise at least $200? No, you will not be able to complete your registration if you do not agree to meeting the minimum fundraising requirement and to understanding that your credit card will be charged if the $200 minimum is not met by November 1, 2019.
Therefore, if you have registered, you have agreed to these terms. Please carefully read all of the terms and conditions as you are registering. All participants are responsible for reading what they agree to when registering.
Can I immediately donate $200 instead of fundraising to meet the minimum requirement? Yes, upon registering, you must make an initial minimum donation of $50. You can then donate an additional $150 on your sign up page. You’ll be all set to participate but we still encourage you to fundraise beyond the $200 since all proceeds benefit our Survivors!
Can I donate less than $200 when registering that will count towards my minimum fundraising requirement? Yes, upon registering, you must make an initial minimum donation of $50. You must agree to raise at least $150 more by November 1, 2019 to participate in the race. If you have not raised funds totaling $200 by November 1, 2019, your credit card will be charged the difference.
My company offers matching donations. Can I count that towards my $200 minimum? Although company matches are greatly appreciated and welcomed, unfortunately we can not count their donation towards your $200 minimum at this time.
If I am no longer able to make it to Spartan Fenway after registering, can I receive a refund or have someone else race in my place? No, participation is non-transferrable and registration fees are non-refundable. We appreciate your understanding.
