Registation Solutions
We offered three registration tiers this year, each offering different registration flexibility. Please be aware of the registration tier that you chose and review the registration solutions available for each tier (listed below). We cannot adjust, add, or change any options provided to the level of your registration.
- Blue Level (economy): "Run and Done" -- Non-transferable, Non-deferrable, no refunds
- Orange Level (standard): Transferable entries -- Non-deferrable, no refunds
- Gold Level and Late Entries (premium): Transferable OR Deferrable -- no refunds
Transfers:
- Orange, Gold Level and Late Entries are eligible for transfers. For more information visit our registration page.
- Transfer to relay - open now. For more information visit our registration page.
- Transfer to another runner - transfer window will open October 1. For more information visit our registration page.
- Once the transfer window opens, we will post a link to our Facebook group dedicated to runners looking for a transfer entry. This is an active site and your best bet to find someone who would like your entry.
- Note for Late Entries - Though you do have the option to transfer your entry to another runner, you will only be refunded for the amount of the Gold Level Entry, the remainder has already been designated to our charity program and is still tax deductible for you.
Deferrals:
- Gold Level and Late Entries are eligible for deferrals. For more information visit our registration page.
- If you are unable to join us this year, simply do not pick up your packet at the 2024 Expo.
- Any Gold Level or Late Entry runners who do not claim their bib at the 2024 Expo will receive a registration code by January.
- If you claim your bib at the Expo, you lose your opportunity to defer, regardless whether you run the race or not.
- Those eligible for deferral are responsible for registering themselves for the 2025 CIM.
- You will receive more detailed instructions with the code email.
- If you do not receive the code by January, please reach out to us.
- If you miss the deadline to register you will lose the entry.
Still looking for a place to stay race weekend? Rooms remain available with our Folsom partner hotels. Sleep in a little longer, stay near the start with complimentary busing to the start. Click here to check availability with Visit Folsom.
Tips for obtaining a hotel reservation:
- Partner hotels are the most convenient option for your ability to walk to CIM start buses on race morning. Click here to check availability.
- If you can't find an available partner hotel, secure lodging at other hotels or Airbnbs available in the area. It is common that vacancy at partner hotels will open up later in the fall; depending on cancellation policies, you may be able to move over to a partner hotel as space opens up closer to race weekend.
- If the hotel you're considering for booking indicates that there are no CIM block vacancies, it's still possible that the partner hotel might have non-block rooms that are available. For more information, kindly reach out to the hotels directly.
