Unfortunately, at the moment, it is not possible for us to hand out refunds or free registrations to X-BIONIC LAKE GARDA 42 for the already paid registration fees for a past edition of the Lake Garda Marathon. The X-BIONIC LAKE GARDA 42 is organized by another event agency; therefore, the marathon is not in any ways connected to the old organizer. We are aware of the issues regarding refunds of registration fees from past editions and understand the frustration and anger of former participants at not receiving a refund or response to their requests. The situation of Covid-19 and the risk we are taking by organising the marathon, made it hard to take the decision of not offering neither a refund nor a starting place to former participants who had already paid their registration fees. However, we encourage former participants to follow us on our social media and subscribe to our newsletter as there may be future updates on possible refunds or discount codes.
