These are the terms and conditions under which Destination-Marathons, LLC. (herein after

“DM”) offers and operates its running trips/tours. By registering and paying your deposit for a

trip, you confirm that you have read, understand and agree to these Terms & Conditions, which

you acknowledge constitute a legally binding obligation. Accordingly, please read these terms

carefully before making a deposit or payment for a trip.

Participants acknowledge they must be in good health and able to endure the physical

demands commensurate the activity they are registering for. Please consult your physician if

there is any question of physical fitness. It is your responsibility to assess the risks and

requirements of each aspect of the trip based on your own circumstances, limitations, fitness

level and medical requirements.

If you participate in activities during your itinerary, including road racing and pre and post runs,

certain risks and dangers may arise, including, but not limited to, personal injury and death. BY

AGREEING TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, YOU hereby expressly assume all of these risks

and dangers, and you hereby expressly agree to forever release, discharge and hold DM and our

agents, employees, officers and directors, harmless against any and all liability, actions, causes

of actions, suits, claims and demands of any and every kind and nature whatsoever which you

now have or which may hereafter arise out of or in connection with your booking or

participation in any activities in which you participate.

You consent and grant full permission and royalty-free license to DM to use your likeness in all

media including photographs, pictures, recordings, or other record of this event for any

legitimate purpose.

While we will endeavor to operate all trips as advertised or quoted, reasonable changes in your

itinerary may be made by DM where it is deemed necessary or advisable by us. If DM is

prevented (directly or indirectly) from performing any of its obligations under this agreement

by reason of force majeure (which shall include, an Act of God, strikes, trade disputes, fire,

breakdowns, weather conditions, acts of omissions of a third party, or any other cause

whatsoever outside DM’s reasonable control), then DM may, in its sole and absolute discretion,

cancel all or part of any trip. In any situation of force majeure, DM shall not be deemed to be in

breach of their duties or otherwise liable to you, whether for reason of delay in performance or

non-performance. I understand that if a case of force majeure arises that no refund of my

travel expenses, including, but not limited to non-refundable airfare, or entry fees will be

reimbursed. Based on the above, DM strongly recommends trip cancellation, baggage, health

and accident insurance for all participants. Residents from outside the U.S. must check within

your country for insurance coverage.

DM contracts with a network of companies and individuals to assist in the running of our trips,

including, but not limited to hotel and transportation services. Because DM does not maintain

any control over the personnel, equipment, or operations of these suppliers, we assume no

responsibility for and cannot be held liable for any personal injury, death, property damage, or

other loss, accident, delay, inconvenience, or irregularity which may be occasioned by reason of

(1) any wrongful, negligent, willful, or unauthorized acts or omissions on the part of any of the

tour suppliers, or other employees or agents, (2) any defect in or failure of any vehicle,

equipment, instrument owned, operated or otherwise by any of these suppliers, or (3) any

wrongful, willful, or negligent act or omissions on any part of any other party not under the

supervision or control of DM.

The right is reserved to cancel the tour for any reason anytime. If we cancel a tour, our liability

is limited to a full refund of your payments to us and we will not be liable for any other costs,

damages or refunds of any kind for any loss, delay, inconvenience, disappointment or expense

whatsoever in such circumstances.
