FYI, I just received an email indicating that the March 2020 Texas Mile has been postponed.

It indicated that possibly April or May might be on the calendar...

While the April/May thing is certainly possible and what Sharon said, I'd be shocked if they didn't run again until October (the next originally scheduled event I believe.)

BTW - I had contacted them about a refund, and they can't give them. Not sure if I should take further action or wait and see. Looking for feedback...

I don't know how much you're into them for, my typical entry fee to them ranged from $550-850/yr depending on how much extra stuff I would tack on.

I'm not sure if you are implying taking legal action against them to demand a refund, but it would seem like you would pay at least that in legal fees.

It certainly sucks, but I know each year when I payed, there was always that moment of pause when I would read the disclaimer about refunds, and talking about weather could cancel the entire event.

Again, it's not "fun", but this does seem like the same kind of thing.

This was the first time that Texas was a serious possiblity for us after Colorado was cancelled. We didn't book the trip for other reasons.

I don't know Shannon and crew personally, but I will say that I don't get the sense that they are swimming in profits from the event. That's why Colorado was permanently closed. It damn near killed the Texas event.

So with that said, I think as far as I would go personally is that if I had to, I would ask and appeal to them for a refund, perhaps even a partial refund, but I wouldn't pursue legal action, both from a practical standpoint, but also from a personal perspective.

Peace

My likely course of action would be to work with the credit card company whom I paid with. Many of our credit cards have built-in consumer protection plans. For example, I had a company go out of business after I purchased some music and memorabilia from them. I called the credit card company and worked with them to be reimbursed. It's more like "insurance" for purchases - not suing people.

I’d at least ask for a credit to attend the event in October.

They are saying that the likely action will be to transfer our registrations to the next event. But they can't set a date for the next event. So, I do not know if I can go or not.
