Terms and Conditions
These terms and conditions apply to all participants who register to take part in an event organised by Cardiff Running Events.
1. By registering in the event you are agreeing to be bound by these terms and conditions.
2. You are responsible for reading the details and description regarding the event contained on the website http://www.cardiffrunningevents.org/ and any other information that may be sent to you by the Event Organiser and agree that you clearly understand what ability is required and what is entailed in participating in the event.
3. Refunds will not be payable if ‘Cardiff Running Events’ are forced to cancel, or in any way change the event due to war, threat of war, riot, civil strife, industrial dispute, terrorist activity, natural or nuclear disaster, fire or adverse weather conditions or other circumstances amounting to force majeure. In the unlikely event of the cancellation/postponement of sporting events for whatever reason, ‘Cardiff Running Events’ cannot be held responsible in any way for any monetary loss, inconvenience or any other circumstances outside of our control, including non-refundable events fees.
4. Entry transfers will be possible up to a deadline which will match the closing date for entries. The entrant is responsible for carrying out this transfer themselves by logging in to the entry provider's system as they did when they first entered. In events where entries are possible on the day, transfers will also be available on the day of the race provided the new entrant brings proof that you give permission for them to have your place. An additional administration fee may be required in some circumstances.
5. If you change your mind or decide to cancel your place because of injury, illness, lack of training or other reason, then unfortunately the organisers of the race will not be able to refund your entry fee. See our Refunds and Cancellation policy here for further information.
6. If any details provided by you on registration change, you must notify Cardiff Running Events in writing (or email) within 24 hours of the start of the race. Cardiff Running Events reserve the right to cancel your participation in the event if any information provided by you is found to be inaccurate in any way.
7. All participants must be above the minimum age for the advertised distance on the day of the event (please see our document which shows the maximum distance depending on age here).
8. You are responsible for ensuring that you are medically fit and healthy and have sought appropriate medical advice before undertaking the event. You are also responsible for ensuring that you have undertaken appropriate training and preparation to participate in the event.
9. You agree that you participate in the event at your own risk, and accept that ‘Cardiff Running Events cannot be liable for any personal injury sustained by you in any way or loss or damage to any personal property as a result of your participation in the event.
10. You must abide by any rules or regulations of the event that may be notified to you by the Event Organiser or the venue owners at any point leading up to or at the event. Including the rules of the event's governing body – UKA/WA.
11. You must show respect and courtesy towards other participants, spectators and the Event Team. If you behave in a manner, which in the Event Organiser’s opinion, is contrary to the spirit of the event or in a way which risks the safety of any other participants, spectators or anyone else in attendance at the event, this may result in you being disqualified from the event and being asked to leave the venue. It will also impact on your participation in any future events organised by Cardiff Running Events.
12. You are responsible for the safe keeping of your own personal possessions and those of any spectators you may bring to the event. Personal possessions left unattended at the venue in any facilities provided or otherwise are left entirely at your own risk.
