Deferral Steps:

1. Do NOT Check-in in 2026: If you are registered with a “Worry Free” Gold Entry and would like to defer to the 2027 marathon, you do NOT need to notify us — simply, do NOT pick up your marathon bib at the expo.

  • If you do NOT redeem your deferral code to re-register yourself for 2027 CIM, you will lose your deferral.
