Cancellation, Refunds, & Transfers

Refund Policy

The Gold Nugget Triathlon does not offer refunds or deferrals for any reason.

Organizing an athletic event requires precise planning to ensure adequate support and supplies for participants. Registration data is essential for accurate participant counts, so all registrations are final, and no refunds will be issued once processed.

All racer registrations include a swag package and full support from the GNT community. Virtual participants will receive their finisher shirt, swim cap, and other significant sponsored items if registered by the deadlines outlined below. Virtual racers will not receive a timing chip, bib, sticker numbers and bags. There is a link to print a virtual bib through RunSignUp.

Swag Package & Shipping Deadlines

Due to shipping timelines and supply chain constraints, all swag orders must be placed by mid-March to ensure timely delivery. While we anticipate additional registrations beyond this date, we cannot guarantee a full swag package for racers who register after April 2, 2026.

For further shipping details, please visit the Virtual Event Page on our website.

Transfers & Bib Policies

The USA Triathlon (USAT), our sanctioning and insurance provider, strictly prohibits the transfer of bibs to another participant at any time. This is a standard policy for triathlons and other endurance races nationwide.

Cancellations & Waitlist Openings

We understand that unexpected circumstances—injuries, family commitments, graduations, or other events—may prevent you from racing. While refunds are not available, you can help another racer by notifying us if you are unable to participate.

If you withdraw, we can offer your spot to the next person on the waitlist, ensuring another athlete has the opportunity to race.

If you do not plan to race, please email us at info@goldnuggettriathlon.com with the subject CANCELLATION so we can open your spot for another participant.

Your kindness and consideration will be greatly appreciated by a fellow athlete waiting for a chance to compete! 💛
