Transfer Season

Whether you are looking for a spot in the Bell’s Iceman Cometh Challenge presented by TREK or need to give your spot up, here are our most asked questions regarding transfers.

Can I transfer out?

Riders can apply to transfer out starting August 1, 2022 until September 15, 2022. Once transfers close no additional applications will be accepted.

How will I know if my transfer out application is accepted?

There are several ways to see if your transfer out application is accepted. (1)  Keep an eye on your financial account, if we process your transfer out request you will receive your fee back less $20.  (2) Sign in to you’re your Bike SignUp account by going to iceman.com and clicking on the register button. You will be able to see if your race entry is still active or (3) you can search for your name on the front end of the website to see if you are still listed.

Can I transfer my entry to a friend?

No. We use a first come first served basis on transfers. Your place will be offered to the next available person on the waitlist, once they accept it then you will receive the refund.

Transferring In

I’m on the waitlist, what can I expect?

If you are transferring in, starting in August watch your inbox closely for emails from “runsignup”. These emails will say a place has been reserved for you. You will have the day you received the email and the next day until midnight to claim your spot. If you miss this email, you will remain on the list but will go to the end of the list.  

What are my chances of getting in the race?

It’s hard to say, as it all depends on the amount of people that are transferring out, but last year every person on the list was offered a spot at least once.

Tips and tricks?

Go to iceman.com and click on register. Sign in to your account and make sure the email on your account is up to date. That is the email we will be sending the reserved entry to during the transfer period.

The waitlist will close on 9/15/2022.

Don't Give Up: Transfers Are Open

Sold out! The Bell’s Beer Iceman Cometh Challenge is full, but if you’re as determined as this little guy, don’t worry. Transfers are live and already processing. Head to the site, hit the Register tab and find Transfers. Once completed, you’ll be added to the queue of folks looking to get in. As riders transfer out, you’ll get in on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Note, the rider opting out will pay a $20 fee, which will be donated to Norte Youth Cycling and Grand Rapids Dirt Dawgs!

We work hard to make sure every single spot of the race gets into the hands of someone who wants to race. If you think you need to move your spot, the sooner you put it up for grabs, the better!
