You may save with green bib options that forgo the event shirt while still enjoying all other race benefits.
Bib transfers are not allowed for safety, legal and liability reasons. If one attempts to race without an officially registered race bib, that time will be registered as DNF, and organizers may ban that runner and the initial registrant from future races. You may apply for a Deferral Discount.
