Like any major event, the Bagel Run requires a great deal of planning, marketing, and operations prior to race weekend. As a non-profit organization, the AFJCC is not in a position to issue registration refunds as is stated in our race policies and agreed to upon race registration. We appreciate your continued support for the longest-running event of the AFJCC and remain optimistic we will be able to host a challenging and fun in-person experience on Sunday, May 8, 2022.
