Only emailed cancellations to james@icompete.co.uk are acceptable. Cancellations made in the last 25 days before the event date will not be eligible for any refund or transfer. Please note that a credit is made to your i-Compete account to use for a future i-Compete event and is not a refund.

2.      You can transfer your entry to another participant up to 14 days before a running event (10k, 10 Mile and Half Marathon) and 28 days before a triathlon event free of charge.

5.      If any details provided by you on your registration form change, you must notify i-Compete immediately in writing by emailing james@icompete.co.uk stating the event, date and race category and your full name. It is the participant’s responsibility to ensure their details are correct before they race. Any participants who race with incorrect personal information and do not notify us of the error before the prize presentation will be disqualified and shown as DQ on the online results.

6.      i-Compete Events reserves the right to cancel your participation in the event if any information provided by you is found to be inaccurate in any way.

7.      You will be emailed by i-Compete Events before the event with further event details and instructions. It is your responsibility to read these in full and follow the instructions provided.

9.      You are responsible for ensuring that you have taken medical advice, and that you are medically fit and healthy and have undertaken appropriate training and preparation to participate in the event.

10. While i-Compete Events takes every care with the staging of the event, the participant acknowledges that personal accident and personal items insurance is his or her sole responsibility.

11. You are responsible for your own personal possessions and those of any spectators you may bring to the event. Personal possessions left unattended at the venue in any facilities provided or otherwise are left entirely at your own risk.

12.

13. You must abide by any rules or regulations of the event that may be notified to you by the i-Compete or the venue owners at any point leading up to or at the event.

14. You must show respect and courtesy towards other participants, spectators and i-Compete staff. If you behave in any manner which is, in i-Compete’s opinion, poor sportsmanship or a risk to the safety of any other participant, spectators or anyone else in attendance at the event, this may result in you being disqualified from the event and removed from the venue.

15. i-Compete is not responsible for any third party organisations that may provide other services at the event. You use any such services at your own risk.

No refund or partial refund will be given if you do not wish or are unable to participate in the rearranged event. Accommodation fees cannot be refunded. Please ensure that you fully understand this clause before entering any i-Compete event and the element of risk you are taking on, should the event be rescheduled due to force majeure or similar.

17. If the event has to be cancelled and not rescheduled you will receive a refund of your registration fee minus a 20% deduction to cover administration costs.

18. If access to a published course is restricted for any reason an alternative course will be used, i.e if water temperatures prevent an open-water swim going ahead, the triathlon will be adapted to a duathlon and the event will proceed as normal. Entry fees will not be refunded for anyone choosing not to participate in the adapted event.

19. You agree to photographs and video being taken at the event and that any images of you may be used by i-Compete or the venue owners in any media regarding the event and to market and advertise the event or any other similar events.
