Holme Moss Fell Race

I accept the following terms for my own entry. I also accept the terms on behalf of any other participants I am entering in this event, all of whom have been provided with a copy of these terms and accept them:

• I accept the hazards inherent in fell running and acknowledge that I am entering and running this race at my own risk.
• I confirm that I am aware of the rules imposed on me by the Race Organiser and that I will comply with them.
• I confirm that I have read and will comply with, the FRA “Requirements for Runners”.
• I acknowledge and agree that I am responsible for determining whether I have the skills, equipment and fitness to participate in this event. I am aware that navigational skills are required for this race and that I must carry with me waterproof full body cover, hat and gloves, map, compass, whistle and emergency food. Kit checks at Registration. I understand no refund is offered if I am refused entry to the race due to not carrying required kit.
• I understand that if I retire from the race, I must report to the nearest check point and also to the finish. If Marshals and or Mountain Rescue Team personnel consider a runner unfit to continue, they must retire from the race and follow marshals’ instructions for returning to the finish. Failure to do either of above may result in a ban from future events.
• I understand that runners should be capable of completing the course in 5hours 30 minutes. There will be a number of pre-displayed cut-off points where marshals’ instructions must be obeyed.
• I accept that neither the Race Organiser nor the Fell Runners Association shall be liable to me for any injury, loss or damage of any nature to me or my property arising out of my participation in this race (other than in respect of death or personal injury as a result of their negligence).
• I consent to publication of my name, club, race category, race number, finishing time and race position in race pre-entry and results lists, and to the sharing of all the above details with trusted partner organisations (e.g., UK Athletics) for disciplinary purposes or otherwise where necessary in the interests of the sport.
• I accept that the race organiser may use photographic/video equipment to monitor the race.
  
  

  What happens if the race is cancelled or the route needs to change?

  The Holme Moss Fell Race takes place in a challenging moorland environment, and the safety of runners, volunteers and the wider public is always our priority.

  We reserve the right to change the race route, including using an alternative course, or to postpone or cancel the event if circumstances make it unsafe or impractical to proceed as planned. This may include severe weather, wildfires, environmental restrictions or other circumstances beyond our control.

  If an alternative course is used, the race will go ahead on the revised route and entries will remain valid.

  If the race is cancelled, we will always offer runners the opportunity to request a partial refund of their entry fee. Some costs are incurred well before race day and cannot be recovered, so the refund amount will reflect the costs already committed to organising the event.

  Runners wishing to receive a partial refund must request one by email to [email protected] within eight weeks of the cancellation announcement. We will confirm the refund amount and deadline when notifying entrants of the cancellation.

  After the refund deadline, any surplus race funds will be donated to Mountain Rescue and moorland habitat restoration projects, reflecting our commitment to the landscape and communities that support the race.

  We will communicate any changes and arrangements to entrants as soon as reasonably possible.
