No, if you are unable to attend the Jingle Bell Run (for any reason), your registration fee will be considered a donation to the Arthritis Foundation. You can still pick up your shirt at the Foundation office or request that it be mailed to you. The Arthritis Foundation reserves the right to cancel the Jingle Bell Run, and in this event al registration fees will be used as donations to the Arthritis Foundation.
Can I exchange my shirt for a different size?
Yes, on the day of the event (before or after the run/walk). You will be provided with the size requested during registration and we must do the same for everyone. Please understand that we do not order many extra shirts and sizes will likely be limited.
