Can I transfer my marathon entry to another person? Can I request a refund?

Entry transfers, substitutions, and name changes are strictly prohibited.
These measures are in place to protect participants’ safety and ensure valid insurance coverage. In the event of a medical emergency, response teams rely on the personal information provided during registration.
Competing under another individual’s name is unsafe and violates Athletics Zambia regulations. Any participant found in breach of this policy will be disqualified and may face suspension from future events.

What should I do if I am no longer able to participate?

If you are unable to take part in the event, you may request a refund before 24th March. Approved refunds will be processed less a small administrative fee.
To apply, please email events@thekcmmarathon.com and include your ticket confirmation, full name, registered distance, and reason for withdrawal.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.

Is it possible to amend my registration details?

Yes, amendments to your registration — including substitutions, distance upgrades, or downgrades — are permitted. However, each change will incur a K50 administrative fee per entry.
This fee must be settled at race number collection before the updated race number is issued. Participants are encouraged to finalize any changes prior to collecting their race packs.

What is the minimum age requirement to participate in the marathon?

Participants must be 17 years or above to compete in the 42km marathon and 16 years or above to participate in the 21km race.
All age requirements must be met on or before race day. Proof of age may be requested during registration or race pack collection.
