Substitutions: After the entry deadline, substitutions may be made using the online substitution form until Noon on Friday, October 18.

Note that you will only be able to substitute for an existing runner that you originally submitted. For example, if you submit five runners and then decide to add a sixth runner, you will not be able to do so as this is considered an addition instead of a substitution.
