The marathons will be avoiding public roads and will be without an official permission, insurance or medical services. Every runner participates solely on their own risk. The organisers cannot be made liable in case a race cannot be staged due to circumstances not under their control or the race is stopped by authorities. The races are “self catering” which means the participants bring their own drinks and nutrition for the race.
All races will be limited to 15 runners based upon a first come, first serve basis. A waiting list will be established.
The registration fee is 30 US$ for each marathon and is payable within five days of receiving the registration confirmation.
The organiser reserves the right to reject registrations without giving reasons.
