In consideration of the acceptance of this entry, I assume full and complete responsibility for any injury or accident which may occur while I am traveling to or from the event, during the event, or while I am on the premises of the event. I also am aware of and assume all risks associated with participating in this event, including but not limited to falls, contact with other participants, effect of weather, traffic, and conditions of the road. I, for myself and my heirs and executors, hereby waive, release and forever discharge the event organisers, Centurion Running, sponsors, promoters and each of their agents, representatives, successors and assigns, and all other persons associated with the event, for all my liabilities, claims, actions, or damages that I mayhave against them arising out of or in any way connected with my participation in this event. I understand that this waiver includes any claims, whether caused by negligence, the action or inaction of any of the above parties, or otherwise. I hereby grant full permission to any and all of the above parties to use any photographs, videotapes, motion pictures, website images, recordings or any other record of this event.

I agree to the following refund policy. Runners who withdraw up to 4 weeks prior to race day (2359 GMT Friday 28 days prior) are eligible for either a refund, minus a 30% admin fee, or a deferral to 2028, minus a 15% admin fee.

Withdrawals within four weeks of race day will not be eligible for any refund and cannot be deferred. 

To defer, runners must contact us via email by clicking here. Your 2027 place will then be cancelled and any refund protection (if taken out) will be voided. You will be invited to sign up for the 2028 event, prior to general entries open. The cost due at that point is 15% of your 2027 fee plus any price difference for 2028. If you choose not to sign up at that stage or withdraw prior to race day, no refund will be issued.

To withdraw please find your entry here, login and click on my entries (if you have Xcover please see below first). You can then cancel your own entry. Your card will automatically be refunded the 70% fee up to 4 weeks before race day. This can take up to 10 working days to reach your account. Within four weeks of race day, you can still cancel your entry, but without any refund.

Exception to this is ONLY for pregnancy/ postpartum and in which case you must notify us by email here of your pregnancy no later than 4 weeks prior to race day to be eligible for a 100% refund. You must acknowledge that you understand and agree to this policy during the registration process.
