VIII. GENERAL AND EVENT GUIDELINES
- Registration fee is NON REFUNDABLE but transferable to a different person. Such transfer needs to be done at least 1 week before the event date. No transfer will be allowed less than a week from the race day.
- Mandatory gears shall be checked before the release of the race kits. Runners with incomplete mandatory items will not be allowed to run.
- Only registered runners can run the course. NO personal pacers allowed.
- Race forerunner and marshals may be deployed along the route to ensure that trail markers are still intact or properly placed. Photographers are positioned strategically to capture your unforgettable moments.
- To avoid too much crowd, runners are advised to pass by each aid station as quickly as possible except in cases when there is really an urgent necessity to stay longer.
- Be at your best behavior and show respect to your fellow runners, race organizers, locals and the entire community.
- The cut off times will be strictly implemented.
- Late participants who will arrive within 10 minutes after the starting time will still be allowed to run but the cut off times will NOT be adjusted. Anyone who will arrive beyond 10 minutes will be tagged as DNS (Did Not Start).
- While the race is in progress, runners who decide NOT TO CONTINUE due to their own reasons shall express their intent or decision in the nearest Aid station. The race marshal assigned to such station will list down the names and BIB #. The runners will therefore be given the DNF (Did Not Finish) status. They can opt to take any available transportation back to the starting / finish line at their own expense.
- Likewise, any runner who will not make it to the cut-off time shall be tagged as DNF. Race entitlements shall only be given to those who will finish the race.
- ALL MUST PLAY WITH INTEGRITY. Anyone caught CHEATING, including the act of sabotaging trail markers for personal advantage shall be subject to disqualification.
RACE DISPUTE / PROTEST:
Anyone who wishes to file a race protest shall submit a written account of his / her dispute to the race organizers within 24 hours from finishing the race. All proof supporting his / her claim shall be submitted / presented to the race organizers for proper evaluation. A protest fee of PHP. 500.00 (Five Hundred Pesos) shall be collected. NO DISPUTE WILL BE ENTERTAINED IN THE ABSENCE OF ANY EVIDENCE. THE DECISION OF THE RACE ORGANIZERS IS FINAL AND IRREVOCABLE.
- More than the competition, don't forget that we are also here to have fun! Run safe, appreciate the surroundings, enjoy our beautiful nature and do your very best to finish the Decathlon Trail Half Marathon 2025.
