RACE CANCELLATION

The Hardmoors 15 is what can be deemed as a 'Winter Ultra' In the very worst case scenario if due to weather conditions in the North York Moors the race has to be cancelled for the safety of the participants, then no cash refunds will be given (due to costs already arisen) but a voucher to used for entry to another Hardmoors Race up to the value of the Hardmoors 15 will be offered as a consolation, or a transfer to the following year's race.
