Terms & Conditions
RACE ACROSS THE UK
Payment terms
Entrance fees are non-refundable, but entries may be transferred to another person in the case that the original purchaser can no longer attend the event.
Rules
By entering you agree to abide by the rules of the event. Many of the rules are in place to make the event safer. Disregarding these rules may lead to disqualification and for the entrant to be prevented from entering future events.
Authority to Establish Rules and Make Provisions
The parties acknowledge that, due to the nature of the Event, unforeseen issues may arise that are not explicitly covered by the Terms and Conditions or Event Rules, or that may lead to unintended outcomes if applied without modification. All parties agree that it is in the best interests of the event and all participants that such matters be addressed swiftly and effectively.
As a result of this understanding, the participant agrees that Royal Navy & Royal Marines Charity (RNRMC) and/or Lupine Travel shall have the unilateral right, at any time before or during the Event Period, to:
- Modify or supplement the Terms of Entry, the Event Rules, and, if applicable, the Event Schedule;
- Resolve any questions regarding the interpretation and application of the Terms of Entry and/or Event Rules; and
- Provide instructions on the conduct of the Event, including the behaviour of participants, the content of the Event Manual, and the protection of Commercial Rights.
The participant agrees that any modifications, additions to the Terms of Entry or Event Rules, and any instructions issued under this clause shall immediately become binding on the participant upon communication to any participant and shall be considered part of the Terms of Entry or Event Rules (as applicable) under this Agreement.
Decisions made under this clause to modify or supplement the Terms of Entry or Event Rules, or to issue instructions, shall be final. The participant agrees not to challenge any such decisions.
Tracking, Results and Coverage
Entrants consent to having their names semi-anonymised for usage in our event tracking, results and coverage. i.e. the name John Smith would become John S. by default. Entrants are free to request to be fully anonymised, or to use their full name if they prefer.
Insurance
Transport, accommodation and other personal costs throughout the event are organised by entrants themselves and are thus not the responsibility of RNRMC or Lupine Racing Ltd.. It is required that entrants procure their own comprehensive travel insurance policy to cover themselves for the event.
Data
Personal data collected will be used by RNRMC and Lupine Racing Ltd. for the purpose of arranging the event and producing results only and will not be sold on to any third parties. RNRMC and Lupine Racing Ltd. reserve the right to pass data on to other suppliers involved in the staging of our events.
Imagery
The participant also grants permission for any images or recordings featuring them during their participation in RNRMC events, whether captured through video, photography, or digital means, to be used exclusively for promotional materials and publications. They relinquish all claims to compensation, ownership rights, and copyright in connection with these materials.
Bank Details
As part of the event registration process, teams are required to provide bank account details for the sole purpose of issuing the team budget for the Race event.
Bank details are stored securely on our platform and accessed only by authorised personnel. Where necessary, this information will be securely shared with a member of the RNRMC finance team to facilitate payment. The team budget will be paid by bank transfer to the details provided on the morning of the start of the race.
All bank details are processed in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018. The lawful basis for processing this data is the performance of a contract. Bank details will be permanently deleted once all payments have been successfully processed.

This waiver relates to the elements of the races between the start and finish line, where the participant is self organising their journey, and does not relate to any start, end or other events that we have arranged.
The participant acknowledges and accepts that their participation in any event organised by RNRMC and Lupine Racing Ltd., along with their endorsement of this Disclaimer and Waiver of Liability, holds the participant responsible, whether individually or collectively, for any harm, cost, loss, or injury that may arise due to their actions affecting third parties or the destruction or damage of
third-party assets during their involvement. As such, the participant agrees to absolve and indemnify RNRMC and Lupine Racing Ltd. and all individuals involved in the supervision, management, and assistance of RNRMC and Lupine Racing Ltd. events from any related legal liability.
By joining an event, the participant releases RNRMC and Lupine Racing Ltd., including its individual members, affiliates, and everyone engaged in the organization, supervision, management, and support of Lupine Racing Ltd. events, from any and all responsibility for injuries, losses, expenses, or damages incurred by the participant or their property as a consequence of their participation in any RNRMC and Lupine Racing Ltd. event.
Participants will be required to review and sign a more detailed waiver document, which will be issued closer to the start of the event.
