By entering a Pennine Trails event, you understand and agree to terms and conditions stated below. If you are in any way unsure on any aspect of the content below, please contact us at info@penninetrails.com. Pennine Trails reserve the right to change these Terms and Conditions at any time by posting changes online.
When entering on the day of an event, in person, by confirming your full name, DOB and email address you understand that you are agreeing to our full terms and conditions stated below.
When entering our races, you agree to receive Pennine Trails emails with details of our events, your emails will NEVER
be passed onto third parties.
In the case of unfortunate circumstances beyond our control, such as adverse weather conditions, Pennine Trails hold the rights to amend/cancel any event at late notice. This includes any aspect of the event such as race time, date, venue, fees or prizes. Pennine Trails will attempt to reschedule the event and entries will be automatically transferred. Where an event can not be rescheduled committed contractors will be paid and remaining funds will be offered as partial refunds or donated to charity. Where an event is not fully cancelled or rescheduled and the participant chooses not to race, they will not be entitled to a refund.
Competitors using someone else's number can have serious consequences in the event of a medical emergency. The accuracy of the race results is also affected when competitors are placed in the wrong event, age or sex category.
Competitors MUST
wear and display the number that they received at registration as part of Pennine Trails healthy and safety policy.
Any competitor using someone else's number will be disqualified.
The minimum age required to enter is 15 years old. Any accidents or injuries that occur during an event that are not due to our own negligence will not be the responsibility of Pennine Trails.
Organisers hold the right to exclude participants from any event who are deemed to be acting inappropriately or causing health and safety concerns for themselves or others without refund.
Refunds, Deferrals and Transfers:
We know it's not always easy to make it to race day in one piece, or sometimes other events get in the way. We do not operate a blanket no refunds policy and we aim to be as generous with our cut offs as possible, which is why we have the below policy. We must enforce the below strictly to ensure the future of the events go ahead.
The money generated from each event goes towards paying for the venues, the insurance, the free merchandise, first aid support and general event costs and once a certain date passes, the costs have already gone into putting the events on. Any deferrals or cancellations at this stage will be unable to absorbed by the race as the monies have been spent on the event and the event will be unsustainable to hold. Please work with us on the below schedules for your entries to ensure that the races are sustainable for the long term and available for you to race at for years to come.
NEW POLICY FROM 3rd December 2023
All races released after the 3rd December will be subject to the following policy:
You can:
Cancel your entry with a refund minus the SiEntries booking fee - available until 3 months
before your race.
Cancel your entry with a refund minus a 20% administration charge - available until 2 months
before your race.
Cancel your entry with a refund minus a 50% administration charge - available until 1 month
before your race.
After that time the option to cancel / refund will no longer be available.
We no longer offer deferrals due to the amount of admin involved, but instead offer cancellations minus the costs already incurred.
You can transfer your entry to another runner at any time directly from Si Entries up until 1 week
of your event.
