Refunds & Transfers

Safety & Participant Responsibility​​

• Trail running carries inherent risks, including but not limited to uneven terrain, bad weather, fatigue, collisions, traffic, and serious injury.

• TwistedTrails carries out event risk assessments and follows national best practise. However, you remain responsible for your own safety and decisions on the day.

• If you withdraw during an event, you must notify race staff as soon as possible and report back to HQ to confirm you are accounted for.

• When crossing roads, railways, or other hazards, you must make your own assessment and proceed only if safe to do so.

• TwistedTrails is affiliated with England Athletics and holds public liability insurance in accordance with their event organiser scheme. All races organised by TwistedTrails are licensed by the Trail Running Association (TRA).

Liability Waiver

• By participating you agree to release TwistedTrails, its volunteers, staff, and sponsors from any liability for injury, loss, or damage arising from your participation.

• You accept that rescue or assistance may itself carry risks, and by seeking or accepting help you take responsibility for those risks.

 

Cancellation

• TwistedTrails may have to cancel or alter an event due to circumstances beyond our control (e.g. severe weather, flooding, natural disasters, public health concerns, terrorism, strikes, or civil emergencies).

• Where possible we will reschedule and carry your entry forward.
