2. I hereby release Glendalough AC and their representatives from any liability arising from any loss, damage or injury (including fatal injury) suffered by me before, during or after the race. I hereby waive any rights and claims for damages or compensation from Glendalough AC and their representativces (including its employees, agents, officers, governors, sponsors and volunteers, and their representatives, successors, and assigns) arising from any loss, injury (including fatal injury) suffered by me before during or after the Marathon.

4. I attest and certify that I am physically fit, injury free and have sufficiently trained to complete the Marathon. I acknowledge that Glendalough AC recommends that I undergo a medical check-up with my physician before starting the RACE to determine if I am at risk from any underlying health issues which a marathon may aggravate.

5. I agree to abide by all rules and guidelines of the Marathon and not to cover, alter, reproduce or transfer my race number or alter or transfer my timing and scoring chip. I acknowledge that to do so will result in my and my transferee’s disqualification from this and future competitions organised by Glendalough AC.

I accept and acknowledge that the Entry fee is NON-REFUNDABLE, (outside our refund window) and entries are NON-TRANSFERABLE to another event even if the RACE is postponed, altered, shortened, lengthened or cancelled. I will not sell my race entry or offer it to another person free of charge if I cannot participate. Entries can be deferred to the coming year at the organiser’s discretion.

7. I accept and acknowledge if the race  is postponed, altered, shortened, lengthened or cancelled that, Glendalough AC has no obligation to me for any costs and expenses that I may incur pertaining to my planned participation, whether for travel, lodging, meals or any otherwise. I accept and acknowledge there are no exceptions to this policy and that I will not ask for an exception to be made for me.

 8. I hereby grant full permission to Glendalough AC or any of its service providers to use photographs, films or recordings of the race  for any legitimate purpose without recourse to me, and I at this moment, release any right I may have to my image while taking part in the race or at the start line or finish area.

9. I understand and acknowledge that this waiver includes any claims, whether caused by negligence, omission, action or inaction of MEM DAC or any of its service providers.

10. I acknowledge that I have been afforded the opportunity to take legal advice before entering the RACE. If I choose not to do that, I will not later seek to rely on the fact that I did not understand this declaration and waiver.
