When entering the Sun Run the Terms and Conditions must be accepted by each individual entrant. The refund policy for 2022 is listed below. There are no exceptions to this rule and no refunds will be given for change of mind or situation.
I acknowledge that refunds will only be issued for the Event entry fee where participation in the Event is not appropriate due to medical reasons that is supported by a current medical certificate outlining the condition and lodged with Council before 5:00pm (AEST) on Wednesday 12 January 2022. I understand that a 50% administration fee will be deducted from the race entry fee paid and if a race bib has been sent out, I must return the race bib to Council at my own expense, prior to the processing of any refund and by no later than 5:00pm (AEST) on Wednesday 12 January 2022. Refunds will not be made for any additional items purchased, such as event merchandise and charitable donations.
What happens if the race is cancelled?
Council reserves the right to cancel the Event at any time if Council considers in its sole discretion this is required due to any sort of dangerous conditions and/or force majeure. In the event of cancellation, there will be no refund of entry fee unless otherwise determined by Council in its sole discretion and the cancelled Event may not be re-scheduled. A decision will be made ASAP on race day and entrants will be notified via email, SMS where possible and via the Event website and social media pages.
