We understand how important the Pirate 10 Miler is to our runners, which is why we’re committed to providing a seamless race experience. If we’re forced to cancel before the race begins for any reason, you will receive your entire registration fee back in the form of race credit, which will not expire for one year and can be applied to any Capstone Races event.
We’ve also decreased our normal deferral fee, giving you the flexibility to defer your registration for race credit.
Please note that our “No Refund” and “No Transfer” policies will still be in effect for this race. Thank you for your understanding and we look forward to providing a memorable race experience for you.
The Pirate 10 Miler reserves the right to reject any entry. Also, we adhere to the standard running industry policy. All entry fees are non-refundable and non-transferable. This is noted on our registration application and when you register for our events you must agree to this policy. You may not give or sell your number to another individual – if you do, this will result in your disqualification as well as the runner who uses your race number.
Entry Fees will only be awarded as race credit if the event were to be canceled prior to March 22, 2025. All fees and associated costs (including optional product purchases, spectator tickets, and donations), paid in registration for this Event are not refundable for any reason under any circumstances, including but not limited to injury, a scheduling conflict, and/or event cancellation.
If you are unable to attend the race, you can defer your registration for credit towards a future Capstone race.
Sorry, we do not allow transfers from person to person.
You may change your distance by filling out the change race distance form at the top of this page.
If you have purchased bib mailing, you will have until Friday, February 28th, 2025 at 12 PM ET to change your distance and have it reflected on your mailed bib. You will still be able to change your distance after this deadline, but will then need to attend attend Packet Pick-Up to receive your new bib.
Runners without bib mailing have until one hour prior to the end of Packet Pick-up to change your distance online. If you change your distance during race week, you will need to visit Customer Service at Packet Pick-Up to receive a bib for the correct distance.
We do not charge an administrative fee to change your distance. There is no charge to go down in distance, but if you choose a longer distance, you will need to pay the difference between the distances.
Bib mailing allows you to have your bib conveniently mailed to your door! You can add it to your registration for only $7.99.
The deadline to add bib mailing is Friday, February 28th at 12 PM ET. Runners with bib mailing will pick up their shirts and medals at the post-race party on race day.
PLEASE NOTE: Bibs cannot be combined and each runner must purchase bib mailing separately. Shirts and medals will not be mailed. Runners without bib mailing will need to attend the in-person Packet Pick-Up.
Registration will close one hour before the end of packet pick-up, but we will not have registration equipment available at packet pick-up. You will need to register on your own device and leave ample time to get to packet pick-up before it closes to pick up your bib.
To defer your registration, complete the deferral form at the top of this page (form will be added soon!).
Per our deferral policy, runners can defer their race without paying a deferral fee until December 22, 2024, by completing the deferral form. Runners will receive race credit for the amount they paid at registration (minus handling fees).
No, this is not a Boston Qualifier.
We anticipate offering pacers for the event. We will share more details soon!
The cutoff time is determined by our event permit, which permits us to use the roads, police support and other city resources for a specified period of time. After the permitted period ends, roads will reopen and we will no longer be able to provide participants with critical course support, including road closures, police and medical coverage, hydrations stations and course markings.
When the course closes at the cutoff time, any remaining participants must move off of the roads and onto a sidewalk. Anyone who decides to utilize the course route before or after the permitted time will not be considered an active participant and must follow pedestrian laws. Participants who do not meet the cutoff time will not receive an official time.
Pets are not allowed on the race course for the safety of race participants, spectators and the animals.
However, service animals as recognized by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) are permitted on course. Should you decide to run the race with a service animal, please email your information to info@pirate10miler.com Runners with ADA service animals will be placed in the last corral behind individual runners for safety purposes.
We always provide water at each of our aid stations. There is also usually sports drink at each aid station.
We will provide more information about parking options closer to race day.
Races are held, rain or shine, unless we determine that conditions are too dangerous. This will be based on a prudent decision made on race weekend or race day by Race Officials and local law enforcement officials. If the race is cancelled due to inclement weather there will be neither refunds nor transfers. This position is consistent with USA Track & Field recommendations and with the protocol of sharing the risks associated with the sport of running. In the event of inclement weather or unforeseen circumstances, Capstone Event Group reserves the right to alter, cancel or eliminate any/all portions of the race.
If there is inclement weather during the race, it is your responsibility as a race participant to follow instruction from race officials and law enforcement in regards to inclement weather. If you disregard instructions from race officials, you are doing so at your own risk.
There will not be race day packet pick-up. If you are unable to attend packet pick-up, you may have your bib mailed to you by purchasing bib mailing at registration or using the add-on form or have someone else pick up your race packet. They will need a copy of your ID.
Live tracking will not be available.
We always recommend spectating at the start and finish line. If you are looking for other places to cheer on your runner, please see the Athlete Guide when it is released.
There will not be a results tent after the race. Runners who have opted to receive text messages from us will receive their results via text message after the race.
If there is anything wrong with your result, such as a missing time, incorrect age, gender, etc., please complete the Results Correction form (the link will be added closer to race day), so we can correct it.
If your results are not displaying properly, we will get it fixed and updated as quickly as possible.
Race photos will be emailed via our race photographer after the race. When available, the link will also be added to our website. Please follow the directions from the race photographer regarding accessing and ordering photos.
We encourage anyone who finds something on the course or at the post-race party to bring lost items to Customer Service.
