Deadly Dozen FAQs & 2026 Updates: Your Ultimate Guide

Fitness Racing Podcast
Written By Jason Curtis

In this episode, Jason sits down with Vanessa to tackle the most frequently asked questions from Deadly Dozen athletes around the world. From transfers and selling your ticket, to race-day logistics, spectator rules, photos, results, and deferrals — nothing is off the table.

With Deadly Dozen now active in 22+ countries and scaling into 2026 with bigger tech, timing, and support teams, the race experience is evolving. Jason and Vanessa walk through the new streamlined systems that allow athletes to manage transfers themselves from their dashboard, the introduction of on-the-day transfers, and what to expect when racing Solo, Pairs or Relay.

They also break down:

  • How ticket transfers work (free + self-managed via your dashboard)

  • When race-day transfers apply, and the small admin fee

  • Why deferrals aren’t permitted as the race calendar expands globally

  • Wave times, race schedule (Solos AM / Pairs & Relay PM), and elite wave structure

  • When results & photos are released, and how facial recognition works

  • Spectator rules and why events remain family-friendly

This episode is your go-to guide for navigating the Deadly Dozen experience with confidence — whether it’s your first race or your tenth.
