15.REFUND POLICY

If you can't find anyone to replace you and would prefer a refund of your entry fee we are able to provide:
50% refund if you advise us by email before the late entry fee date (11:59PM Friday 1st March 2019).
No monetary refund if you advise us after 11:59PM Friday 1st March 2019.


In the event that the event course is, in the opinion of the event organisers, unsafe (for example by reason of heavy rain, high winds, bush fires, "acts of god"), organisers may, in their sole discretion, attempt to re-route the course, find an alternative shortened course or cancel the event. Organisers also reserve the right to cancel the event for any other reason which may include but is not limited to terrorism and war. If the event is cancelled, re-routed or shortened, no refund or transfer to another event will be made. Due to the scale of the event and travel & commitment involved by competitors, it is not practical to re-schedule the event to any other weekend.
