I understand that I am responsible for my personal belongings, physical condition, and decisions throughout the event.
4. Race-Specific Requirements and Fitness

I confirm that I will not participate unless I consider myself sufficiently fit and healthy to undertake my chosen race distance. I agree to follow all safety instructions and to act responsibly if I experience illness, injury, or physical distress during the event.
I understand that the organizers may require a participant to withdraw from the race if continuing would pose a serious risk to their safety or the safety of others.
7. Photography, Video and Media Consent
I authorize the organizers to capture and use photographs, videos, audio recordings, and other event-related media featuring me for legitimate event-related purposes, including event reports, promotional materials, publications, and social media, subject to applicable law.
8. Changes, Route Alterations and Cancellation
The organizers reserve the right to modify race routes, schedules, distances, or other event arrangements when necessary for safety, operational, environmental, or other legitimate reasons.
The organizers may postpone or cancel any race or the entire event due to force majeure circumstances, including severe weather, natural disasters, government restrictions, security concerns, or other circumstances beyond their reasonable control.
Participants agree to follow any revised instructions or arrangements communicated by the organizers.

The organizers reserve the right to refuse or cancel an entry, or disqualify a participant, in accordance with the event rules and applicable law, including where eligibility requirements are not met or event regulations are violated.
The decisions of the Race Director and authorized race officials regarding race administration and enforcement of event rules shall be final, subject to applicable law.
