Terms and Conditions

In registering for any of our associated events you will be required to acknowledge that you have both read and understood all the text presented to you as part of the registration process, namely the statement below:

I undertake to have completed sufficient training for the race, which I understand to be physically demanding. I believe that I am medically fit enough to complete the event. I am an amateur as deemed by UKA rules and will compete on foot at my own risk. I understand a need to limit the race and that runners need to be capable of completing the distance they have signed up for (Half Marathon in 3 hours 15 minutes, 10K in 1 hour 35 minutes). Any runner not able to do this may be withdrawn from the race at the discretion of the race organisers. Runners will then be classed as a pedestrian and will need to complete the remainder of the course by use of pavements. I understand that the wearing of headphones is forbidden during this event, and that doing so will invalidate my entry and lead to my disqualification of the race. I will wear my race number on the front of my running top and any alterations of the number may lead to my disqualification. I understand that the number is only to be worn by the person who has entered and it must not be passed on to anyone else. I give my consent to my photograph being taken, together with video and or media uploads on the World Wide Web, I also allow any imagery of myself to appear amongst publicity material. Should my circumstances change and I am no longer able to attend the marathon then I will notify the organisers in advance of the event. I also understand that no refunds will be issued unless I apply within the 7 day distance selling law. Outside of this will be seen as a donation to the event’s official charity partner.

In addition you also agree to abide to our general terms and conditions detailed below:

 

1. I must be at least 17 years old on race day to take part in the Run Leicester Half Marathon, and 15 years old to take part in the Run Leicester 10K.
2. I need to complete sufficient training for the race and confirm that I am medically fit enough to complete the event. If I am unsure I will seek medical advice from a GP before the event.
3. There is a cut-off time of 3 hours 15 minutes for the half marathon route, and 1 hour 35 minutes for the 10k route and you will be asked to stop if you fall behind this.
4. In line with UKA ruling, the wearing of headphones is not permitted during the race and that this may lead to my disqualification. Bone conductor headphones which do not cover your ear are permitted.
5. Should my circumstances change and I am no longer able to attend the event then I will notify the organisers in advance. I will not pass my number to another runner without an official transfer. Any runner found to be wearing another person’s number will be disqualified. Failure to follow this rule can results in a ban and the loss of any prizes.
6. I give consent for my photo to be taken at the event, and understand that any imagery may appear amongst publicity materials. I also understand that my name will be published in results.
7. My personal information may be used by Run Leicester, its associated organisations and agencies acting on behalf of the event, to provide you with regular updates on the event in the current participation year and any future years.
