Runner's commitments

By registering, each runner:

Every entry is personal. Anyone handing over their race number without going through the official transfer (article 13) will be held responsible in the event of an accident suffered or caused by the bearer of the race number. Any race number obtained in breach of these rules may lead to disqualification. The race number must be fully legible during the race.

The presence of the awarded participants is mandatory: in case of absence, the prizes remain with the organisation.

Article 12 · Cancellation and refund

On presentation of a medical certificate only, the organisation refunds 50% of the registration fee (excluding fees charged by njuko) up to one month before the event. No other reason gives rise to a refund, and no refund is possible in the month before the event.

In the event of an exceptional cancellation for which the organisation is not responsible (force majeure, safety requirements, weather conditions, decision of the authorities, etc.), no registration can be refunded and no damages can be claimed.

Article 13 · Race number transfer

A race number transfer is possible until Thursday 1 April 2027 at 20:00, only between runners, via the njuko participant area (the "Transférer mon inscription" button). The new participant registers with payment; the registration is effective once payment has been made, and the participant who transferred their race number is refunded within 8 days. The organisation cannot carry out a transfer itself. Race numbers cannot be carried over to the following edition, except if the event is postponed.

Article 14 · Sanctions

Any participant caught throwing litter outside the designated areas, showing unsporting behaviour, disrespecting volunteers or failing to comply with these rules will be called to order, then disqualified in case of a repeat offence; they will then have to reach the finish by their own means. No claim will be accepted.

Article 15 · Insurance and liability

The organisation has taken out civil liability insurance. It is up to participants to insure themselves personally. The organisation cannot be held responsible in the event of an accident or failure of participants, in particular those resulting from poor health or insufficient preparation. Participation is under the full responsibility of competitors, with waiver of any recourse against the organisation in the event of damage or after-effects subsequent to the race. The organisation declines all responsibility in the event of theft or damage to equipment.

Article 16 · Image rights and personal data

Each participant authorises LIGHT ON to use images in which they may be identified, as part of promotional and advertising broadcasts. In accordance with the French Data Protection Act of 6 January 1978 and the GDPR, each participant has a right of access and rectification of their personal data, by writing to hello@lightontri.com.
