Entry Deferral and Bib Transfer

If you were selected to run in the Independence Blue Cross Broad Street Run through the lottery, have already confirmed your spot, but are now unable to participate, you have two options: defer your spot or transfer your bib.

Please note: The option to defer or transfer your bib is now closed.

Defer your entry

The deferral program allows you to give up your 2024 spot in exchange for a guaranteed spot in the 2025 race.

You will not receive an entry fee refund for this year’s race if you decide to defer. In addition, you will still be required to pay the entry fee for the 2025 race in which you have a guaranteed spot.

The deferral program closed on April 15, 2024 (11:59 p.m. EST).

Transfer your bib to another runner

​The transfer program allows you to give your spot to someone else. It is important to go through the proper transferal channels because every participant needs the correct information in case of a medical emergency. Giving someone your bib affects the results, and those who are caught doing so may be barred from future races.

The transfer program will be open until April 15, 2024 (11:59 p.m. EST), with all transfers completed by April 17, 2024 (11:59 p.m. EST).

No transfers will be allowed after this time to ensure we have enough time to assign bib numbers and make corrections to our database.
