The short answer
Go to your race's 'My entry' with your booking reference and email, then 'Modify' › 'Change of holder'. You can transfer it to a specific person, by email, or post it on the marketplace if the race has one. Each organiser sets the deadline, the cost and the refund.
Step by step
- Open 'My entry' from your race's page, with the booking reference and email you signed up with.
- Go to 'Modify' › 'Change of holder'. If it isn't there, your race hasn't switched it on: it's off by default.
- Enter the email of the person taking the bib. They receive instructions and have a set time to complete it, chosen by the organiser: 24 hours at the Zubiri Pamplona Half Marathon and the Barcelona Half Marathon.
- Or tap 'Post on Marketplace', if the race has one: whoever requests it waits for you to accept.
The money
The organiser chooses how it works. Through the platform: the new runner pays and you're refunded automatically when your entry is cancelled, minus non-refundable charges and the transfer fee, if any. Outside the platform: the new runner signs up for free and you get nothing back, so the money would be between the two of you.
When the money goes through the platform and the race allows transfers to a specific person, you can list your bib on Pasadorsal and it's offered to the queue first, as at the Zubiri Pamplona Half Marathon or the Barcelona Half Marathon. When it goes outside, those races only have a guide on Pasadorsal. Protected purchase, for races with a direct change between runners, is coming later. Never pay before the bib is in your name.
Who can't
According to RockTheSport's help, these entries can't change holder: entries imported by the organiser from a spreadsheet, 100% free entries, group entries at a group price, entries with a balance below the transfer fee, and validated-rate entries unless the organiser allows it.
Watch the dates and buttons
The date set on the platform isn't always the one in the rules. At Rock 'n' Roll Madrid, the platform allows changes until 31 March 2027 and its entry policy until the 15th; at the Barcelona Half Marathon it's the other way round: the rules say 15 January and the platform the 12th. Go by the earlier date or ask the organiser.
At the Benidorm Half, 'Contact the organiser' has the reason 'Request for WITHDRAWAL/REFUND/CHANGE OF HOLDER', but it only sends a message: it isn't the transfer itself.
