Jefferson City, Mo. – Attorney General Chris Koster announced a settlement Friday with Shoelace Events, LLC, and its organizer, Austin Cash McKnight, who failed to make refunds after canceling a race in August 2014.

Shoelace Events advertised a Neon Dash Event at the Kemper Arena in Kansas City, which was to be held on August 23, 2014. The company took upfront money from more than 130 consumers and then subsequently canceled the event. Missouri consumers were promised refunds, but never received them. Consumers paid $24.95 for a single entry, and as much as $249.50 for group entries.

As a result of this settlement, at least 134 consumers will receive full refunds by Shoelace.

“We are pleased that Shoelace Events has finally agreed to give consumers the refunds they deserve,” Koster said.

Any consumer who was not refunded for this event, and has not been contacted by the Missouri Attorney General’s Office, should file a complaint with the office at 800-392-8222 or at ago.mo.gov. Under the terms of the settlement, consumers have until August 1, 2016, to file complaints.
