HEALTH, SAFETY & PARTICIPANT DECLARATION
The organizers shall not be responsible or liable for any injury, accident, illness, loss, death, or damage arising during or in connection with the event.
Please understand the elevation and terrain before registering
Elevation & Terrain: DD Hills is a challenging course with steep ascents, rolling gradients and downhill sections. The physical demand can be substantially greater than a flat road race, particularly in the 10K and 21K categories.
Physical Preparation: Participants are strongly encouraged to include hill training, incline running, strength conditioning and appropriate downhill preparation. Suitable running shoes are essential.
Medical Fitness: Participants with any medical condition, previous injury or concern about strenuous exercise should seek appropriate medical advice before registering. Participants should not participate if they are unwell or medically unfit.
On-Course Support: Organisers intend to provide hydration, first-aid and emergency medical support at designated locations. Participants must follow instructions from medical teams, marshals and event officials.
Participant Responsibility: By registering, participants acknowledge that running on hilly and uneven terrain carries inherent risks, including falls, fatigue, dehydration, muscular strain and other medical emergencies. Participants are responsible for choosing a category appropriate to their fitness and for following all event rules and safety instructions.
SAFETY MESSAGE
Listen to your body. Hydrate adequately. Slow down or walk steep sections when required. Reaching the finish safely is always more important than finishing fast.
PARTICIPANTS HAVING CARDIAC ISSUES, ARE SUGGESTED TO CONSULT PHYSICIAN BEFORE REGISTRATION
