Terms & conditions of entry
 
 
Please read these details carefully before clicking on the link below to proceed to our on-line entry form. By entering the race, you agree to all of the terms and conditions as set out below: -
 
 
 
Entry procedure
Your application to enter our race must be completed using our online entry system, which operates strictly on a first come first served basis. Upon completion, your details will automatically be submitted to the entry database and you will be forwarded to the secure online payment page.
 
 
  Your application will be held as a provisional entry, pending confirmation that your online payment has been accepted (this may take a few days) at which time, your entry will then be CONFIRMED and your details will be shown on the entrants list.  
 
  It is your responsibility to check this website to establish whether or not your entry has been confirmed. Entry confirmation will NOT be posted or emailed to you. Acceptance of your entry fee and confirmation of your entry does not constitute a contractual relationship in itself giving you the right to race. The race organisers have the ultimate right to determine who can and cannot compete in this race.  
 
  Most of our races are over subscribed. The numbers allowed for each race are the absolute maximum based on course capacity and risk assessment, taking account of probable drop outs, therefore regardless of circumstance, we cannot accept more than the maximum of 250 entrants for this race.  
 
  Please enter this race with the name as shown on your triathlon membership card (DO NOT USE NICK NAMES such as 'Al' instead of 'Alvin') as this may mean that the British Triathlon cannot match your race results to you.  
 
 
Payment
The individual Entry fee for British Triathlon members is £35 and a valid British Triathlon membership card will be required on race day. This evidence will be your new Triathlon England/Welsh Triathlon or Triathlon Scotland membership card. Membership cards not belonging to the Home Nation Countries MUST declare an 'INTERNATIONAL ENDORSEMENT' or have picture the ITU logo to be valid in British registered races. An additional charge will be made on race day for non Triathlon Association members for an English Triathlon day membership.
 
 
  We only accept online payment via the Paypal secure online payment system. You are not charged for this service and do not need a PayPal account. The club never receives your credit or debit card information.  
 
  If you have difficulties with the Paypal payment system, please return to the competitor information page, select 'View list of entrants' and then select 'Late Payments'. You will then be able to click the 'Online Payment' button beside your provisional entry and proceed to the Paypal payment system again. If payment is not received within 14 days, then your entry will be deleted and you will need to complete a new entry form if you wish to race.  
 
 
Closing date
The closing date for entries for this race will be 27th July 2008, but it is highly likely that the race will be full long before this date. There will be no entries accepted after this time, even if the race is not full, as we need this time to plan waves and organise the results system and so cannot add anyone after this time. There will be no entries allowed on the day under any circumstances.
 
 
 
Reserve list
If the race is full before the closing date, then a reserve list may be operated. Your entry details will be taken and you must pay the full entry fee, But this does NOT guarantee you a race entry. If a confirmed competitor withdraws, the first person on the reserve list will be offered that place. If you are on the reserve list it is your responsibility to check with this website to see whether we have been able to offer you a place. If successful, your status will be changed from 'reserve' to 'CONFIRMED'. If you are still marked as reserve on the closing date, then you will receive a full refund of your entry fee. If you withdraw from the reserve list then your refund will be subject to our standard refunds policy as set out below.
 
 
 
Withdrawals and refunds
The club does not allow a competitor who has a place and cannot race to defer their entry to the following year, nor does it allow substitutions for any race entry. Withdrawals must be notified to us in writing (or by e-mail) before the closing date. You will then be eligible to receive a refund of the fee paid less a £5 admin fee. Under no circumstances will any refunds be paid for withdrawals notified to us after the closing date.
 
 
 
Eligibility
I declare that I will be at least 17 on the 31st December 2008 and self-certify that I am fit to take part in this event. I understand that I participate entirely at my own risk, and relieve the race referee and the race organisers/personnel of any responsibility for injury, loss or damage sustained to either my person or property as a result of participation howsoever caused. I also declare that my cycle is in a roadworthy condition. I agree to abide by the rules of British Triathlon.
 
 
 
Race details and results
All race details and course maps will be published on the Cambridge Triathlon Club website and race entry pages as soon as they are finalised. For the avoidance of doubt, no race details will be posted or emailed to you by the race organisers. Race results will also be published on the website as soon as they are available - which is usually on the day of the race ;-)

Please continue to check back regularly for updates to your entry status and in case there are any last minute changes or announcments.
Any queries should be made by e-mail to:  cambridgetri2008@cambridgetriathlonclub.co.uk
