In the circumstances any contract for the supply of an event is between you and the relevant organiser, whose details are set out on the relevant entry form. These booking conditions are in addition to any terms and conditions imposed by the relevant event organiser and any rules and regulations governing participation in any event.
Covid 19 Cancellation: If cancelled, you will receive a refund less 5% to cover bank transaction charges and administrative costs.

You can transfer your entry to another participant. If a Virtual run is offered then you can accept this virtual event and receive a 40% refund.
Cancellation of Bookings, Transfers and Refunds In accordance with the Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000 and unless the event has already taken place, you have the right to cancel your booking at any time up to the end of the 7th working day after the booking is accepted. You may do this by writing an email to events.toby@gmail.com and you will receive a full refund of any monies paid. If you wish to cancel your booking for an event and provide us with not less than 2 months prior written notice then you will be entitled to a refund of 50% of the price of your booking excluding any transaction costs. Alternatively your place on the event can be transferred at any time up to one week before the date of the event to another person subject to us receiving a transfer form via email, duly completed with full details of the proposed transferee together with confirmation that the proposed transferee accepts these Booking Conditions and Regulations. Rules and regulations: By entering the event you agree at all times to abide by any rules and regulations imposed by the event organiser and any relevant governing body such as, purely by way of example, the UK Athletics and the British Triathlon Federation further details of which can be found at www.triathlon.org and www.british triathlon.org.
Personal health and fitness: By entering an Atomic Events race you shall be deemed to have acknowledged and understood that participation in the relevant event is potentially hazardous, and you should not enter and participate unless you are medically able, properly trained and have appropriate equipment. Please be aware that a number of events are of a “cross country” or “off road” nature and so there are additional risks that are not common to usual triathlon, duathlon, aquathlon and runs, including but not exclusively, wading through deep water, running and cycling through mud and on uneven and wet surfaces, climbing over obstacles. You should consult your doctor prior to undertaking training for an event. It is your responsibility to make sure you are medically fit and not carrying any existing injuries and are capable of completing the booked event. The event organiser reserves the right, in its 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. You are advised that you should not participate in an 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 either affect your performance and your ability to complete the event or to be worsened by participating in the event. Swim events or events including a swim element: Swims will be in open water or in a pool. Other parties and wildlife use the water and, as such the water is exposed to the risk of contamination caused by this use, is shallow in parts and has an uneven and rocky bed. In particular, as with all open swimming, there is also a risk of virus contamination (eg Weil’s disease). Event organisers are unable to prevent or, indeed, minimise this risk and participants must be aware that drinking the water or swimming with open wounds increases the risks involved. Event organisers reserve the right to cancel the event at short notice if the water conditions are such as to be unfit to swim in, or they may substitute the swim element for another sport e.g. running. No refunds will be given should this eventuality arise. Mountain bike, road cycling and running events or events including a bike/run element: Mountain bike and road cycling events and running in events often follow a course over rough and undulating terrain. You are responsible for ensuring that you wear a suitable helmet and any other safety equipment at all relevant times during cycle stages and that your bike has been properly maintained and is of sufficient quality to deal with such terrain and distances. Bicycle routes used may also be used by other vehicles, dog walkers, dogs, horse riders and marshals on quad bikes. Participants should expect to encounter and should take extreme care when encountering livestock, steep drop offs, steep descents, uphill sections, roots, mud, rocks, obstacles, fellow participants, dog walkers, dogs, horse riders and marshals on quad bikes. It is the responsibility of the participants to adhere to the course markers and to any warning signs on the route at all times. Save to the extent caused by negligence on the part of the event organiser, participants will be entirely responsible for any injury sustained (whether to themselves or others) as a result of any reckless cycling or running, failure to take proper care or pay proper attention or failure to adhere to warning signs or instructions. Participants and Spectators: Event organisers will use reasonable endeavours to ensure the safety of participants and spectators. Course markers are in place to guide participants and to separate participants from spectators. Medical vehicles and crew will be in place for both participants and spectators. Parents of spectating children and adults charged with the supervision of spectating children must ensure their children are supervised at all times. If spectators choose to bring their pets, the pets must be kept under control at all times. Spectators and participants should adhere to the course markers and obey instructions of the marshals. Medical treatment while participating in an event: By entering an event, you are consenting to the fact 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. Entry If you are provided with a race number this must not under any circumstances be given to anyone else without informing the relevant event director. 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. Outfits: Anyone attempting to start or join an event in 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 forcibly removed from the event. Music and telephones etc while participating in an event: For health and safety reasons you must not participate in the event whilst listening to any 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 if you are unable to hear what is happening around you throughout the event. Consequently iPods, MP3 Players or similar electronic music players and mobile telephones must not be used during the event (including transition). Mobile telephones must be switched off if stored in the transition area. An exception to this, is to use bone conducting headphones during a closed road running event and when the participant follows guidance from UKAthletics. Start times: 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 timing: 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 organiser’s decisions Decisions made in respect of the event (whether in respect of safety, organisation, management, timings, placings, rules, regulations and guidance or otherwise) by the relevant event organiser, any race director, officials and marshals are final and binding on all participants.
Cancellation of the event and limit of liability The event organiser reserves the right, in our absolute discretion, to cancel, delay, move to an alternative venue 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 possible. Where the event has to be cancelled, delayed, moved to an alternative venue or postponed due to circumstances outside of our reasonable control (including, but not limited to, the avoidance of doubt due to adverse weather, virus outbreaks and other health concerns, 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.
