General Terms and Conditions Kärnten Läuft 2018 and Graz Marathon 2018_V3_ page: 3

4 The reimbursement of the entry fee is only considered in case of complete cancellation of the event. If the cancellation is not justified by the organiser, only a partial refund of the registration fee will be made in the amount of the difference remaining after deduction of expenses directly attributable to the participant. If the organiser is obliged by official order due to security reasons or force majeure to make changes in the execution of the event or to cancel it, there is no obligation for the organiser to pay damages to the participant. 12. Liability for damage to property, assets and health The organiser is not liable for material and financial losses of any kind. Participants will not assert claims against the organisers, the partners and the sponsors of the organiser or their representatives for damages or injuries of any kind that might arise from their participation. The organiser assumes no liability for health risks of the participant in connection with the participation in one of the competitions and events of Kärnten Läuft or Graz Marathon. It is the responsibility of the participant to have their health checked and assessed by a doctor prior to the event. 13. Pick up of starting documents The collection of the starting documents is possible with proof of the registration confirmation or upon presentation of a photo ID. The starting documents may alternatively also be picked up by third parties upon presentation of the confirmation of registration. 14. Timing and irregular behaviour In both events, time keeping is done by MaxFun Timing. The timekeeping transponders - the socalled "RFID TAGs" - are integrated in the start numbers. Without a bib number there is no timing / ranking! At the start and finish line, there are so-called "timekeeping mats". When crossing the mats, the registered TAG is recognized. When crossing the start line the time starts to run and at the finish line the time is stopped. Additional timekeeping mats may be placed on the track at the discretion of the organiser (split times, lap times, special scores). In order to be included in the official ranking, participants must pass all relevant timekeeping mats. In the case of missing results of one or more split times and, at the same time, an implausible running time between the missing time-keeping points, the participant may be disqualified by the organiser. Each participant receives her/his bib number with integrated time measurement tag when picking up the start document. This bib number is registered exclusively to the participant and the registered competition and cannot be used elsewhere. The functionality of each issued bib number with RFID-TAG is checked by MaxFun Timing before handing them out to the participant. A warranty and / or liability of the organiser due to a defectiveness of the TAG occurring after the issue is excluded. Each participant has to ensure that s/he uses the correct bib number (registered for him / her for a specific event). When attaching the bib number to the body, ensure that the timing TAGs are not damaged by safety pins. The use of a third-party bib number (a third person eg number of the partner) means that there is no timekeeping / time assignment and that the participant does not appear in the result list. General Terms and Conditions Kärnten Läuft 2018 and Graz Marathon 2018_V3_ page: 4

5 If the participant does not wear a bib number, s/he will not be included in the results list and/ or be taken out of the competition prematurely. If the officially assigned bib number is changed in any way, in particular if the advertising print is made invisible or unrecognizable, the participant will be excluded from time-keeping (disqualification). 15. Timing Graz Marathon - relay marathon Without a transponder there is no time-keeping possible Each team in the Graz Marathon relay competition receives a transponder with velcro when collecting the bib numbers. This transponder must always be worn (exclusively) at the ankle and must be forwarded to the team's next relay runner when changing. Time-keeping is exclusively done with this transponder. In addition, each relay runner has to wear her/his bib number with an integrated RFID tag. The time measurement via the bib number serves mainly for control purposes (handovers, checkpoints). A runner can also run more than one section (maximum 2). In that case the runner must wear both start numbers. If a relay participant does not wear a start number, s/he can be taken out of the race prematurely. If a Graz Marathon relay team does not wear a transponder, it will not be included in the ranking. 16. Self-catering / Meals at the Event Graz Marathon on Sunday Distributed over the route are refreshment stations provided by the organiser. In addition, each participant can deliver their own catering for the marathon, relay marathon and half marathon at the marked location near the start area before the start. The self-catering should be clearly marked. Those refreshment stations where the self-catering can and will be placed can be found on the homepage (services). The organiser assumes no liability for self-catering. 17. Health Competitions The Kärnten Läuft competitions: Nordic Ladies Walk, Family Run and Wörthersee Walk as well as the Graz Marathon competitions City Walk and Family Run are defined as so-called Health Competitions. Even though there is a timekeeping, there will be neither ranking nor award ceremony. All participants will enter a prize raffle. 18. Bambini Sprint The Bambinisprints of Carinthia Running and the Graz Marathon are not timed. When participating in the Bambinisprint is foreseen that the Bambinis run the designated route alone and without being accompanied. The Bambinis are picked up by event staff in the closedoff pre-start area and they are walked to the start. After the run, Bambinis receive refreshment as well as a medal of participation before they are handed over to their parents / companions. 19. Starting blocks For organisational reasons, some competitions start in blocks. For this purpose, participants will be allocated specific starting blocks based on their specified finishing time, the competition they entered, or their age. Which starting block a participant is assigned can be found in the registration confirmation or the start number. General Terms and Conditions Kärnten Läuft 2018 and Graz Marathon 2018_V3_ page: 5

6 A start in another starting block is considered as harsh unsportsmanlike behaviour and can lead to disqualification. 20. Disqualification or event exclusion The organiser reserves the right to disqualify and / or to exclude him / her from the event a participant at any time if he / she has culpably provided false personal data, that are relevant to the evaluation of his/her athletic performance. The same applies to participants who are subject to a ban by a national sports federation or the NADA, or have already been banned because of a doping offense, or are suspected to participate in a completion/ an event after taking unauthorized substances (doping). In addition, the organiser reserves the right to reject applications without stating reasons. Participation is a highly personal right and not transferable. Bib numbers are not transferable. 21. Removal of the race The competitions take place on public roads. The safety of the participants is ensured by a timelimited official barrier of these roads and streets which will be monitored by staff employed by the organiser. If it is foreseeable that a participant will not manage to finish the route during the blocked and supervised time, agents authorized by the organiser may request the participant to terminate the run. In this case, the start number is invalidated for safety reasons. Further participation, even on his/her own risk is not permitted. a. Kärnten Läuft - Wörthersee Half Marathon For the Wörthersee Half Marathon, the following maximum throughput times apply between the measuring points defined by the organiser. If a participant does not pass the specified points within the prescribed time, authorized staff may remove the participant from the race.
