In order to run in the Sting Challenge runners agree the following disclaimer and to the Terms & Conditions:
I declare I will abide by the age limits set for the event and will abide by the laws of the United Kingdom. I declare that I will not compete in the event unless I am medically fit on the day of the Sting Challenge and that, in any event, I will compete at my own risk. I accept that the organisers, sponsors, partners, marshals will not be liable for any loss, damage, action, claim, costs or expenses, which may arise in consequence of my participation of the event. I also hereby give my permission to Caistor Running Club to use my name, quotes, video and photographic likeness for marketing and promotional purposes. I also understand that entry fees are bound by the refund policy.

The minute you enter the Sting Challenge part of your entry fee goes to the taxman for VAT, administration costs and banking charges to process your entry and payment.

The costs associated with this event start accruing even before the event date is announced and the requirement to commit expenditure year round to the organisation of an event on a single day is the reason why most event terms and condition are no refunds. Whilst we may not be able to offer a full refund on all items we believe we have set out a varied selection of options available to our runners, which are covered below. If you have a query which is not covered here please email caistor.running.club@gmail.com

IF YOU CAN NO LONGER TAKE PART (FOR ANY REASON INCLUDING INJURY)

We understand that there can be many reasons why you can no longer take part, which could be outside of your control. Most events do not offer any form of refund in these circumstances and like them we are also unable to offer a refund on all items. However, in fairness to all of our runners you can choose from one of the following options:

 - Request to defer your entry to the following year.

 - Request to transfer your entry to another runner. Please see "TRANSFERRING TO ANOTHER RUNNER" below for more details.

To apply for a deferral please email caistor.running.club@gmail.com

Once an Entry deferral request has been accepted they are non-refundable. Deferred entries are also non-transferable and can only be deferred to the following year's event and cannot be rolled over to another year.

WHAT IF THE EVENT IS CANCELLED

We reserve the right to postpone or cancel the event ace due to unforeseen or unavoidable circumstances outside of our control. If this happened all runners will receive notification by email and your entry will automatically be transferred to the following year.

Discounted or free entries cannot automatically be transferred or deferred to another year. These will be treated on an individual basis upon receipt of your email.

TRANSFERRING TO ANOTHER RUNNER

If you would like to transfer your entry to another runner this can be done via the entry system, but must be by the 30th June 2025

DUPLICATE ENTRIES

Duplicate entries made in genuine error will be refunded in full. However, we reserve the right to cancel all duplicate entries without refund if we have reason to believe that duplicate entries have been deliberately made with the intention of re-sale.
