These booking conditions are in addition to any rules and regulations governing participation in the event.

Your Health & Fitness

By entering the event you shall be deemed to acknowledge and understand that participation in the event is potentially hazardous, and you should not enter and participate unless you are medically able, properly trained and have appropriate equipment.

It is your responsibility to make sure you are medically fit and capable of participating in the event. You should consult your doctor prior to undertaking training for the event. We reserve the right, in our absolute discretion, to stop any participant from taking part if the individual is deemed unfit to participate, including mid-event removal where necessary.

Existing Medical Conditions

It is your responsibility to advise the event officials prior to the start of the event of any pre-existing medical condition, disability, relevant medications being taken and allergies that may be relevant in the administration of any medical assistance required or in your ability to take part in the event.

In particular you are advised that you should not participate in the event if suffering any cold or flu-like systems or if you have any other existing illness or injury which might reasonably be expected to affect your safety, performance and your ability to complete the event.

Medical Treatment at the Event

By entering the event, you are confirming that should you require any medical treatment during your attendance at the event, whether before, during or after the actual event, such treatment may be administered by the events’ official personnel.

The Course Route

Participants must adhere to the course markers, marshals and to any warning signs on the route at all times. Please ensure that you follow the countryside code at all times. These booking conditions are in addition to any rules and regulations governing participation in the event.

We reserve the right to stop or pause participants at any time in the event of an emergency and/or to allow for emergency vehicle movements on the course.

Save to the extent caused by negligence on our part, participants will be entirely responsible for any injury sustained (whether to themselves or others) or any accident caused as a result of any reckless behaviour failure to take proper care or pay proper attention or failure to adhere to warning signs or instructions.

Race Numbers

Race numbers must not under any circumstances be swapped with anyone else. Amongst other potential problems, doing so may cause problems of identification for the event medical services in the case of any accident or injury. Any attempt to do so will result in immediate disqualification of the individual(s) concerned and ejection from the event.

Event Kit/attire

There is a full suggested kit list for attendees, and we are also encouraging tartan themed attire for the hike, however any outfit that the event marshals deem unsuitable and/or dangerous to yourself, other participants or spectators, will not be allowed to start the event or, if on the course, may be removed from the event.

Mobile Phones-Devices

For health and safety reasons you must ensure you can hear what is happening around you if you use a personal music playing device or whilst using any mobile telephone. This is particularly important in order to allow emergency services and their vehicles to operate safely on the day which they may not be able to do so if you are unable to hear what is happening around you throughout the event.

Event Timing & Start Times

Event finish times will usually be provided but no responsibility is taken for the accuracy of the same or any failure to supply a finish time, whether as a result of technical problems or otherwise.

Start times may from time to time have to be varied. Where start times are varied, reasonable endeavours will be used to advise you as soon as reasonably practicable. Under no circumstances will you be entitled to any refund of entry fees where, despite a change in start time, the event takes place on the originally specified day.

Event finish times will usually be provided but no responsibility is taken for the accuracy of the same or any failure to supply a finish time, whether as a result of technical problems or otherwise.

Event Ejection

Event officials have the right, in their absolute discretion, to refuse to allow you to participate in the event either at the start or to continue participation at any point along the route of the event, should you be deemed to behave inappropriately or give cause for concern that your continued participation may cause offence or injury to yourself, any spectators or other participants. Failure to comply with any instruction from event officials and marshals or any breach of any rules and regulations governing the event will result in ejection from the event and may also result in you being reported to the police or any relevant governing body for the event in question.

Event Organisers’ Decision

Decisions made in respect of the event (whether in respect of safety, organisation, management, timings, placings, rules, regulations and guidance or otherwise) by us, any race director, officials and marshals are final and binding on all participants.

Cancellation of the Event and Limit of Liability

We reserve the right, in our absolute discretion, to cancel, delay or postpone the event due to unforeseen or unavoidable circumstances out of our reasonable control. In such cases we will endeavour to inform participants as quickly as is possible. Where the event has to be cancelled, delayed or postponed due to circumstances outside of our reasonable control (including for the avoidance of doubt due to adverse weather, ground conditions or as a result of instructions from the emergency services) we shall not be liable for any inconvenience, expenses, costs, losses or damages suffered by participants.

Where the event has to be cancelled, delayed or postponed due to circumstances that were within our reasonable control or where you have any other claim against us in respect of the event, our entire liability (save in respect of personal injury or death) in respect of any inconvenience, expenses, costs, losses or damages suffered by you as a result will be limited to the entry price you have paid to take part in the event.

Cancellation of Booking and Refunds

You have the right to cancel your booking at any time up to the end of 7 working days after the booking is accepted. You may do this by writing to us London Scottish House, 95 Horseferry Road, London SW1P 2DX and you will receive a full refund of any monies paid. Following on from that once your entry fee has been paid no refunds are available upon cancellation. This is in accordance with the Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000 and unless the event has already taken place. A refund can take up to three weeks and further 5-7 days to be shown back on the card. If the item you received is damaged/broken you will be entitled to a full refund, once we have received proof of purchase and we have inspected the item.

Event Image

By taking part in the hike you grant full and irrevocable permission to us and any duly authorised third parties to use any photographs, videotapes, motion pictures, website images, recordings or any other record of this event that may include your image.

Use of images of under 18 participants will be governed by the following guidelines. Please note that web sites can be viewed throughout the world, not just in the UK, where UK law applies. Parents should be aware of the following conditions for using these images:

Details or full names (which means first name and surname) of any child in an image, on video, on our website, or in printed publications, will not be included without good reason. For example the full names of prize winners may be included with the requisite parental consent.
Images of individual young people will not use the name of that child in the accompanying text or photo caption without requisite parental consent.

If a young person is named in the text, a photo of that child will not accompany the article save with parental consent.
Group images may be used with general labelling not identifying individual participants.
Images of children will only be used if suitably dressed, to reduce the risk of such images being used inappropriately.
