Event Day – 21st October 2023

• You are to confirm your entry for the half marathon and either collect your timing chip and number from
  the event registration centre on the morning of the race or bring this with you if this has been posted.
• All participants are to complete their personal details, including details of any health issues and medication,
  on the reverse of their race number. The race number is to be worn unfolded and visible on the front of
  shirts for the duration of the race.
• Whilst participating in the event, runners are to follow all instructions given by event officials and marshals.

The Start and Race Timings

• Participants are to begin the marathon from the official start location and be positioned behind the starting
  line when the race begins.
• Participants are to follow instructions from the start line marshals.
• The published race results will show 2 times for each runner: their gun time and their chip time. The time
  taken from when participants cross the start line to when they cross the finish line (chip time) will be their
  official time for the course. However, prizes in each age category are allocated to the first three runners
  based on their gun time.
• Participants are to wear their timing chip (incorporated into their race number) in order to receive an official
  time.

Safety

• Whilst Brathay Running will take steps, that are so far as is reasonably practical, to ensure the smooth & safe
  running of this event, you as a participant are responsible for your own safety. In addition, whilst taking
  part in the event you are to not place other participants or any members of the public at risk as a result of
  your acts and/or omissions.
• The event is run according to UK Athletics rules, and as such runners wearing devices requiring headphones
  (excluding bone conducting headphones as per UK Athletics rules) will run the risk of disqualification. This is
  for safety reasons as most of the race is run on open roads.
• Unauthorised car support, bicycles, rollerblades, Nordic sticks, skateboards, baby joggers/strollers and
  any other wheeled devices are not permitted on the course.
• You are advised not to take part in this event if you are unwell or injured. If you retire from the event please
  inform the nearest race official or marshal.

Race Cancellation policy

The Brathay Running race organisers reserve the right to cancel, delay or postpone the race due to emergency or
extraordinary conditions. These include adverse weather conditions or following instructions from the emergency
services. In the unlikely event that the race is cancelled, delayed or postponed due to circumstances outside of our
control, no refunds will be payable.

In the extraordinary circumstances created by the COVID-19 pandemic, we will refund 70% of the entry fee paid if
the event is cancelled as a result of the pandemic. Refunds will also apply to participants who cannot travel due to
COVID-19 restrictions (for example Tier 3 conditions) in their home area. Participants enter on the understanding
that the format of the event might need to change in response to the on-going pandemic. A change in the format of
the event will not warrant a refund.

Participant Cancellations

• If a participant wishes to cancel their entry, the following applies:
• No refunds will be paid.
• We will not defer entries to the same race the following year.
• Participants can transfer to another Brathay Challenges open event within the same financial year.
  Participants can only transfer their entry once. Requests to transfer to another race are to be received at
  least two weeks in advance on the race date. Any requests made after this time will not be valid. If
  participants wish to transfer to the Langdale Marathon, the difference must be paid.

Fundraising – Refund of Entry Fee

• We can offer refunds of entry fees (excluding carpark tickets) to participants who raise over £175 from
  running the Langdale Half Marathon. To receive the refund participants are to fulfil the following conditions:
  • Sponsorship is to be fully received by Brathay Trust 1st January 2024 before a refund of the entry fee is
    considered.
  • A refund will not be offered automatically so participants are requested to contact the Brathay
    Running team to administer this via [email protected]

This does not affect our cancellation terms as detailed above.

The event organisers reserve the right to alter or amend any of the race information and/or event rules. Any
changes will be published before the event. The organisers also reserve the right to refuse an entry or withdraw
an entry without notice for any participant who supplies culpable incorrect personal data on the entry form.
