Refer-a-friend

As a member of the CanToo community, you’re one of our greatest advocates – you know first-hand the impact of our programs and the incredible experiences they offer.

We believe your enthusiasm and support can inspire others to join our mission. That’s why we’re excited to offer 50% off your registration fee for introducing someone you know to take part in a CanToo program.

Registration discounts can be applied to a current eligible program you have already registered for, or another eligible program you will register for within the next 12 months.

All you need to do to get this discount is refer one new, first-time CanToo participant to an eligible program and have them nominate you when they complete their registration form.

An eligible referral meets all the following conditions:

  • The person nominating you (i.e. the person signing up) is registering for CanToo training program for the first time,

  • The person nominating you registers for an eligible program:
    • Half Marathon Run Program
    • Marathon Run Program
    • Summer Ocean Swim Program
    • Autumn Ocean Swim Program

  • The person nominates you as their referrer during the registration process,

  • The person being nominated (i.e. you) has previously participated in and completed at least one CanToo program,

  • The person nominating you remains active in the program (i.e. isn’t a First Time Guarantee, Withdrawal, or Cancellation) for the full duration of their CanToo program.
Examples of where you won’t get a registration discount:

  • The person signing up doesn’t nominate anyone (i.e. they leave the form blank),

  • The person signing up nominates someone else (i.e. they don’t nominate you),

  • The person nominating you withdraws for any reason before the completion of the program,

  • The person nominating you is registering for a Surf Ski, Adventure, Winter/spring swim or run squad program.
When do we process referrals?
add remove

Referrals will be processed one week after completion of the program. Participants who are no longer active when we process referrals – including those who have cancelled or withdrawn for any reason – are not counted as referrals.

When do I receive my discount?
add remove

Discounts are applied based on your circumstance:

  • If you are in the same CanToo training program that you have been nominated as a referral the discount will automatically apply to your current program and 50% of your registration fee will be refunded one week after the end of the program as long as both parties have completed the program.

  • If you are not registered for a CanToo training program, you will be provided a discount code to use for your next eligible CanToo training program as long as it is within 12 months of the referral being processed.
Can you give me an example?
add remove

Katherine previously completed a CanToo Half Marathon program. She suggests to a colleague, Neil that he join a CanToo Summer swim program. Neil registers for a Summer swim program and nominates Katherine during the registration process and then completes the Summer swim program.

Once Neil has completed the Summer Swim Program, Katherine will receive a 50% registration discount to use for her next CanToo run or swim program if Katherine registers in the next 12 months.
