Transfers let you — or your participants — move a booking rather than cancel it. Three types are available:
  • Transfer to another race or event — move the participant to a different race within the same event, or to a different event entirely.
  • Transfer to a friend — hand the booking to another person.
  • Transfer to credit — convert the booking value to account credit the participant can use toward a future booking.
All three can be initiated by you on behalf of a participant, or enabled as self-serve so participants can do it themselves. We recommend enabling self-serve — it reduces the volume of transfer requests you need to handle manually. When self-serve is enabled, participants access these options from their booking management page. They can find it by logging in to their account, opening My bookings, and selecting the relevant entry. The available transfer options appear based on the settings you have configured.
Bookings with an active payment plan cannot be transferred. Resolve the plan first before initiating any transfer.

Setting up self-serve transfers

Self-serve transfer settings live in two places:
  • Organizer level — go to Settings → Participant self-serve. These are your global defaults, applied to all events unless overridden.
  • Event level — open an event and select Participant settings from the left-hand sidebar. Event-level settings override the organizer defaults for that event only.
Each transfer type has its own set of options:

Transfer to another race or event

Transfer to a friend

Transfer to credit

Organizer-initiated transfers

You can initiate any transfer type on behalf of a participant regardless of whether self-serve is enabled. Organizer-initiated transfers are not subject to the cut-off time or fee settings.
