Registration FAQs

While we won’t be opening more spots in the race, we do permit bib transfers. The best way to secure a spot once the race is full is to find someone who’s no longer able to run. Please note: lululemon is not responsible for facilitating bib transfers. Only bib transfers initiated through the Race Roster platform are valid.

No. You may only register for either the group or single random draw. However, if you choose to enter the group random draw you will have the opportunity to “opt in” to the Non-Guaranteed Single Random Draw, only if your group is not selected in the Non-Guaranteed Group Random Draw.

Please note: Each member of the group will be given the opportunity to “opt in” to the Non-Guaranteed Single Random Draw individually, at the time of entry. Individual members of groups who are not selected in the Non-Guaranteed Group Random Draw will not automatically be shifted over to the singles draw as a collective.

Your registration unlocks race entry, a pair of exclusive lululemon shorts, first access to the iconic SeaWheeze Showcase Store, entry to the Sunset Festival, 3-months of complimentary training on Runna, (still with us?) and a few surprise treats we’re keeping secret for now. It’s not just a race—it’s an all-out experience.

It’s important to us to honour the guests who have been with us since the beginning. We’ve set aside a small percentage of entries for our legacy runners who can demonstrate race completion in every previous year of the race. If you believe you have legacy status and have not heard from us by the time the random draw opens, please reach out to us to verify your legacy status.

Race registrations are non-refundable. However, during draw entry, guests will have the opportunity to purchase registration insurance through a third-party insurance provider.

If your plans change, you’ll also have the option to transfer your registration to someone else. All transfers must be arranged by the original registrant and completed through the Race Roster platform before the transfer deadline. Please note: bibs may not be sold or transferred outside of the Race Roster platform.

Yes. We understand that sometimes plans change so we are happy to offer runners the chance to transfer their race bibs to someone else. If you’re no longer able to run SeaWheeze, you will be able to transfer your bib between March 25, 2026 and May 3, 2026. As the original registrant, you will not receive access to any race weekend activities (including shopping the SeaWheeze Showcase Store). All transfers incur a $5 processing fee. Please note that transfers must be conducted in-region; runners in Canada must transfer to runners in Canada and runners in the US may only transfer to other runners in the US as an example.

Transfers completed outside the Race Roster platform are not valid. lululemon is not responsible for facilitating or arranging bib transfers.

To transfer your registration, you will need to log into your Race Roster dashboard (here), locate the SeaWheeze Half Marathon event and select ‘Transfer my registration’. Once in the transfer portal you will type in the email of the individual you are transferring your registration to and they will be prompted to complete their registration at which time your refund will be initiated. Once your registration is transferred you will no longer have access to the SeaWheeze event.

We want to ensure that all of our SeaWheeze runners are able to take advantage of the full SeaWheeze experience. The transfer window is in place to support us in delivering two key perks of SeaWheeze registration – runner shorts and the 3-month complimentary Runna training program (which kicks off at the beginning of May).

No – race bibs can only be transferred between people who live in the same region (either Canada to Canada or INTL to INTL) – this supports us in ensuring that the transferee and transferer are receiving a full refund and paying the original registration fee, respectively.

Race bibs that are transferred are subject to the same registration fees that were paid by the original registrants plus a $5 processing fee (paid by the person receiving the race bib). The original registrant (transferee) receives a full refund of their registration fee.

Unfortunately, no. As soon as you transfer your registration, the SeaWheeze runners benefits including shopping the Showcase Store early and Sunset Festival access are transferred to the new individual. If you still want to attend Sunset Festival, you may purchase general admission tickets, while supplies last here.

Is “look fast, run fast” the new “look good, feel good?” Entry into the race means that you’ll also get your choice of exclusive runner shorts (while supplies last). All runners selected in the random draw will be invited to select their shorts a few weeks after the random draw is complete – stay tuned to your inboxes for more information.

Runners can select from four shorts options in 2026 including (based on inventory):

• Fast & Free 6” Short
• Hotty Hot HR 4” Short
• Mile Maker Short 6” Lined
• Pace Breaker Short 7” Linerless

Not to worry – you can change your short style and size on your Race Roster dashboard until May 3, 2026 while supplies last. If you want to change your short style or size after May 3, 2026 you can do so at Shorts Exchange at Package Pick-Up on August 6-7 (based on inventory).

We have a limited number of shorts available in each size / style so if you are unable to find your preferred option we recommend going with the next best thing. You can also try visiting us at Shorts Exchange on race weekend to see if there are additional styles available (please note – this is not guaranteed and all tags must remain on product in order to exchange).

All runners who opted-in to training with Runna during the registration process will receive their 3-months of complimentary access in May (that’s 3 months ’til race day!). More information will land in inboxes in mid-February.

All registered runners can check the details of their registration, including whether they opted-in for the 3-month complimentary Runna training program, through their Race Roster dashboard. As a reminder, only runners who are selected in the draw will be able to view their Race Roster dashboard (starting on February 9).

If you forgot to opt-in when you applied to the random draw and want to do so later, you can do so in your Race Roster dashboard if you are selected in the random draw. Remember, draw results will be shared on February 9 (group draw) and February 10 (single draw).
