Runs and Raves

Read and understand before  finally deciding to register

Batanes Winter Marathon 2016 Terms and Conditions:

Failure to read and understand our terms and conditions will lead to disqualification or an abrupt end to your race.

• This is not your usual-fancy flat urban race. Nothing grand. We promise, the course is grand. 

   

• I am fully responsible for training appropriately for this event. 

  All competitors are responsible in ensuring they get a full medical check up before registering and before the race week. 

   

• Runs and Raves reserves the right to withdraw the privilege of running in this race if the individual is found to be lacking in the right attitude and maturity in not only communicating with the organization but is found to be acting against the spirit of the race

   

• The organization cannot and will not extend registration times. Competitors agree to adhere to the set deadlines. 

   

• The use of inappropriate language in anyway either by email to the organization or on our official facebook group page will mean an immediate ban from the race and removal from our FB group page. Sensible actions and reactions are needed from adults.

   

• No down-grading of distance once registered, upgrade is allowed and must be coordinated within four months before the race. Contact the organizer for upgrades. I understand payments are non-refundable and non-transferrable.

• Unfortunately, we are not making rooms for bandit runners or unregistered pacers in this race.

• Competitors are aware that they should not go beyond the turning point of their respective category. 

• Competitors caught cheating will be exposed and named on public.

•  

  Runners are aware that there is a cut-off time per category, for safety reasons. The organizer will announce a doable cut-off time carefully projected. Failure to arrive within the said period would disqualify a runner from receiving a finisher's medal. Remember, you are choosing to be in a race where a competitive spirit is still required. :) Train, you can do it. 

• Competitors understand that we do not have any control over delayed/cancelled flights that may arise before the event and that the event will still push through on the date stated even without my presence. 

   

• For safety reasons, selling of bib once registered is illegal and unacceptable. Wearing of someone else's bib will result to disqualification. Any form of dishonesty during registration/race will not be tolerated and you are giving us the right to announce your name in public.
