Completing an entry form, or purchasing an entry on behalf of another participant, confirms acceptance of these terms and conditions by the participant.
These terms apply to all Inertia Events unless a specific event page states otherwise.
By completing an online or in-person registration, each participant confirms that they are physically and mentally capable of completing the event distance entered. Anyone changing distance during an event does so at their own risk and must inform a member of the Inertia Events team on their return. The registration must be completed by someone aged 18 or over, and proof of age may be requested.
Participants under 18 may only take part with the consent of a parent or guardian and Inertia Events. A parent or guardian must accept responsibility for the young participant, and anyone aged 18 or under must be accompanied by a responsible adult in accordance with the safeguarding policy.
Participants are responsible for choosing clothing and equipment that are suitable for the event, the conditions and the longest route they may undertake.
Warning signs may be placed at appropriate points, but their absence does not mean that a section is free from risk. Terrain may be uneven, slippery or otherwise challenging. Participants must decide whether it is safe for them to continue. Any marked route is provided for guidance, and anyone choosing an alternative line or route does so at their own risk.
Inertia Events reserves the right to shorten, alter, postpone or cancel a published route or event at any time. Participants are not entitled to a refund where a route or event is adjusted, shortened, postponed or cancelled, subject to the transfer arrangements set out below.
Participants should arrange suitable insurance where appropriate, including event cancellation, injury, equipment or personal property cover. Inertia Events cannot accept responsibility for training injuries, changes to personal plans, or loss or damage to property beyond its reasonable control.
Participants must be considerate towards other users of roads, paths, bridleways, footpaths and byways. Walkers, horse riders and other members of the public must be passed carefully and courteously.
Entry fees are non-refundable unless Inertia Events confirms otherwise in writing.
Where an event includes a road element, runners must follow the Highway Code and all applicable traffic laws.
Participants grant Inertia Events permission to photograph or film them during an event and to use those images or recordings for event coverage and promotion. This may include online publication, social media, advertising and other appropriate media. A parent or guardian entering with a child accepts that the child may also appear in event photography or video.
Any participant who cannot complete an event must contact the event team or return to the event centre and report to a member of staff.
Entry fees cannot be refunded or exchanged except where a transfer is specifically offered by Inertia Events.
Where an event is cancelled and moved to a new date, entries will be transferred to the rescheduled event. A participant unable to attend the new date may transfer to another eligible Inertia Events event, but not to a later year unless Inertia Events agrees otherwise.
Participants agree that Inertia Events may contact them with essential information about their event, including start times, route updates, safety information and operational changes. Personal information will be handled in accordance with applicable data protection requirements.
Participants are responsible for checking the event webpage and the email address used during entry for current information and updates.
Detailed participant information is normally issued approximately two weeks before the event. All essential event information will also be made available on the relevant event webpage.
