Refund/Cancellation Policy: All entries are NON-REFUNDABLE and are NON-TRANSFERABLE to another event. This event will occur rain or shine.
Transfers to Another Individual: If you wish to transfer your entry to a friend or family member in the case that you become injured or cannot otherwise attend, it MUST be done on or before 11:59 PM Thursday, March 26, 2026. There is no fee to transfer to a friend/family member but your request must be completed online through your runsignup account. Doing so via your runsignup account will send an email to your friend, who may then accept the transfer request and provide their information, shirt size and agree to the liability waiver. No phone or in person requests for entry transfers. The person to whom you are transferring your entry must complete the request on or before 11:59 PM Friday, March 27, 2026.
Changing Race Divisions: You may change race distance in your runsignup account or by emailing us by March 26 at acopfoundation@gmail.com.
Course Etiquette: Due to majority of the course being on a bike path we ask participants to be respectful of those around you. We view our course as you would a freeway; slower paced participants on the right to give faster paced participants room to pass on the left.
Dogs and Strollers: We love our furry friends, but due to our insurance policy, we’re unable to allow dogs at the event. Thank you for understanding! Strollers are still welcome—just be sure to start towards the back. We appreciate your cooperation and can’t wait to see you there!
A Change of Pace is proud to announce our continued relationship with Cancer Champions as our ongoing charitable partner. Cancer Champions is a 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to supporting cancer survivors through custom fitness, nutrition, and mindset programming tailored to the unique needs of those battling or recovering from cancer treatment. Donations to Cancer Champions enable the organization to provide survivors with expert guidance to complement traditional cancer treatment. A Change of Pace and Cancer Champions both believe in the powerful and proven benefits of exercise, and we are very happy to be able to deepen our relationship in the name of health, fitness, and quality of life.
VOLUNTEERS
At A Change of Pace, we consider our volunteers the backbone of each event. From registration and finish line volunteers, to water station and course monitors, each person fulfills a critical role in both the safety and success of the race.
Volunteering at a running event can be fun and intrinsically rewarding while providing the opportunity to be a part of the community and meet new people. There are roles for people of most ages and backgrounds and no experience is necessary!
For the Davis Lucky Run, we have volunteer opportunities available for those looking to:
- Volunteer and give back to the local community
- Fulfill required community service hours (school, sorority, etc.)
- Participate in our popular “Race for Free” Race Voucher Program to promote volunteerism
- Fundraise for a non-profit, youth organization, sports team or club, or other charitable organization
Individuals can sign up to volunteer here. To sign up as a group, or for questions, please contact Maya Miramontes.
Vouchers
Our popular Race Voucher Program provides the opportunity to volunteer and then subsequently participate in one of our events at no charge. This program was set up several years ago for two reasons: (1) to encourage runners and walkers to volunteer at running races, and (2) to ensure that we provide people facing financial hardship an avenue to participate in running and walking events without paying the entry fee.
Race vouchers (provided as unique coupon codes) are only available for certain volunteer tasks and space is limited. Be sure to check that the assignment you are signing up for is marked as “Voucher Eligible.” People volunteering in the early morning on race day, for assignments such as site set-up or registration, may use their voucher to participate in the event on the same day at the conclusion of their shift (if desired). Vouchers will be valid for all A Change of Pace events in the same calendar year from the date of that event onward, unless otherwise stated. Your voucher will list the eligible races. Vouchers are transferable and you may gift yours to another person.
Please note that people participating in our Race for Free Voucher Program cannot simultaneously participate in another volunteer program, such as fundraising.
Questions? Please contact Maya Miramontes
Fundraising
A Change of Pace provides opportunities throughout the year for fundraising to local organizations. This is a popular program with youth groups, youth sports teams, collegiate sports clubs, and non-profit organizations. By volunteering at the Davis Lucky Run, your members can support their local running community and raise money for your cause at the same time. Donations from A Change of Pace to your organization are based upon the number of volunteers and the timeframe of your group’s commitment to help at the event.
Fundraising groups must be ten people or more to participate in the program. Space and funds are limited for each event, so please sign up early. For more information or to sign up, please contact Maya Miramontes.
