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 20% off your program fee for introducing someone you know to take part in a CanToo program. Program discounts will be applied to the next eligible program you register for within the next 12 months after the referral has been processed.

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.

You will be eligible to receive one 20% referral discount within a 12 month period.

What do we count as a referral?

An eligible referral meets all the following conditions:

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

  • The person nominating you registers for an eligible program:
    - 5km Run Program
    - 10km Run 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 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 Corporate program, Adventure program, Winter/Spring swim program or any other CanToo program not listed in the eligible list of CanToo programs.

When do we process referrals?

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 Participants who are no longer active when we process referrals – including those who have cancelled or withdrawn for any reason – are not counted as referrals and you will therefore no longer receive the discount for that referral.

When do I receive my discount?

Discounts are applied based on your circumstance: 

  • Once the referral is validated according to the criteria above, you will be provided a discount code to use for your next eligible CanToo training program you register for, as long as it is within 12 months of the referral being processed.

Can you give me an example?

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 20% program discount to use for her next CanToo run or swim program, if Katherine registers in the next 12 months.
