UltraSignup Offers Events Cancelation Protection

From their Help FAQ:

Event Cancellation Protection is a benefit program available to race directors who register their events on UltraSignup and choose to opt-in to the program. Through UltraSignup’s affiliation with Adventure Advocates, participating events gain access to a reimbursement program that allows race directors to offer their registrants a refund of event registration costs in the event of a qualifying cancellation or postponement.

Note: Adventure Advocates is not providing an insurance plan. It is providing a refund guarantee on behalf of the event should the event be canceled due to certain covered circumstances (described below).

If your event is cancelled or postponed due to a covered circumstance and is not rescheduled within 90 days, Adventure Advocates will remit refund funds to UltraSignup, and UltraSignup will electronically distribute refunds back to the credit or debit cards originally used to register.

This is a great new feature, not cheap – will cost RD’s 3% of their revenue – but worth it, considering the increased weather and climate related challenges trail events are facing.
