Deferral Policy
You may only defer to and from the same event: 2026 Shell Yeah Challenge to 2027 Shell Yeah Challenge, 2026 Half Marathon to the 2027 Half Marathon, 2026 5K to 2027 5K. You may only defer an entry once (i.e., if you deferred your 2025 entry to 2026, you will not be able to defer it again in 2026 to 2027.)
The deadline to defer is Friday, September 18, 2026 at 11:59 PM. After that time you will not be able to defer to the following year.
Deferral Fees:
$60 for Shell Yeah Challenge
$45 for Crawlin’ Crab Half Marathon
$30 for 5K
We do not allow deferrals for our Kids Mile.
You may switch from your current Crawlin’ Crab Weekend race to a different distance that weekend, however you will not receive a refund if the race to which you are switching has a lower registration fee. If you are switching to a further distance or from a single race to the challenge, you must pay the difference in race fee from what you initially paid for your original category to your new race category at the time of the switch. You can only switch into events that are open. Once an event sells out, you will not be able to switch into it.
The deadline to switch your race category online is Thursday, October 1, 2026 at 11:59 PM or when the race sells out—whichever occurs first.
You may transfer your race entry to another individual for a fee of $25.00 + any difference in race price at the time of transfer. Race entries must be officially transferred. Allowing another individual to run with your race bib without transferring your race entry is grounds for disqualification from the results and banning from all future J&A Racing events.
The deadline to initiate a transfer is Wednesday, September 9, 2026 at 11:59 PM. At that time the transfer option will be closed and will not be re-opened. The deadline to claim a transfer is Wednesday, September 16, 2026 at 11:59 PM.
