The below terms & conditions (T&Cs) applies to all Get Kids Going! advertised events, its participants, donors and applicants.
Please note that there may be additional Terms and Conditions, other than the below, applicable to some of the charity’s events.
As a participant/applicant I agree, accept and understand the following: Entry Fees, Registration Fees and donations given to the charity are not refundable.
Please do not book any travel or accommodation etc. until the charity has confirmed your entry into any of its events in writing.
The word ‘Guaranteed entry’ means the entry is guaranteed to be an ‘official entry’ into the event. Such an entry is usually purchased, by the charity, directly from the official race/event organisers. The word ‘Guaranteed’ does not mean the applicant is automatically guaranteed one of the charity’s official entries into the event. Confirmation of entry into an event will only be made, in writing, by the charity. Therefore, we kindly ask all applicants not to arrange travel/accommodation etc. prior to receiving their written confirmation. Get Kids Going! reserves the right to allocate its event entries to participants and/or applicants as it so wishes.
If the charity has subsidised a participant’s entry fee for an event and the participant has been entered into the event and they have received confirmation of this. If then, after the entry deadline, the participant informs the charity that they are no longer able to participate in the event for whatever reason and the participant has not fundraised or given a donation/s to the charity equivalent to the full cost of their entry amount, the charity reserves the right to take the balance of the entry fee cost, which the charity has already paid, from the participant’s credit/debit card. This is to prevent the charity from being in debt from such circumstances.
The charity reserves the right to advertise any of its events or supply information etc., either online or offline, for as long as it requires and/or to include or exclude specific text, dates etc. within its advertisements, for as long as it requires so long as the advertisement, information and/or text given is legal. Please note information on the charity’s website is subject to change at any time.
The charity will, naturally, endeavour to keep any dates, information etc. advertised up to date, as much as possible, but it should be noted that the charity cannot guarantee that any/or all of the information it gives, either online or offline, will be up to date and/or relevant at the time of advertising.
Donations kindly given to the charity cannot be refunded or returned either to a participant/s and/or a donor/s.
Get Kids Going! is not and/or cannot be responsible for any participant/s and/or applicant/s who decides to book any travel and/or accommodation etc. without having received written confirmation from the charity that the participant/s and/or applicant/s is entered for the event or has been allocated one of the charity’s entries into the event. This also applies to all non-participant/s connected, in any way, to the participant/s and/or applicant/s.
If an applicant is allocated an entry or place into one of the charity’s events the charity reserves the right to ask a participant to either give a donation, their registration or entry fee up front before agreeing their entry into the event.
All participants agree and accept the terms and conditions of entry and agree that the event organisers, and/or Get Kids Going! shall not be liable for any death, personal injury, cancellation of the event or cancellation of any part of the event, or loss or damage etc. as a consequence of a participant’s participation in the event.

Get Kids Going! reserves the right to withdraw a participant’s entry into the event if it considers that the participant is failing to meet the charity’s minimum fundraising target (if the charity has set a fundraising target) within the charity’s timeframe – i.e. to have donated or sent all kind donations to the charity before race day. This excludes entry fees, registration fees and gift aid.
The charity will endeavour to, by its best ability and working with the information given by the participant, make contact, by email and telephone, with a participant if it has any concerns about the participant’s fundraising progress prior to withdrawing a participant’s entry from the event.
Get Kids Going! reserves the right to; refuse any person, withdraw any person’s allocated entry place if the charity considers it necessary at any time and/or hold a ballot of applications or enter any person into such ballot at any time without providing any reason for doing so.
Get Kids Going! reserves the right to allocate its entry places to applicants/persons as the charity considers appropriate and without question. No person shall hold any right, whatsoever, to a Get Kids Going! entry. If, for some reason, any of the charity’s events become oversubscribed then the charity reserves the right to allocate its entries as it considers appropriate.
Online fees, card fees, other fees and/or Gift Aid cannot be included in any participant’s fundraising/ donations or payments given to Get Kids Going!
All participants should be aware that any donations that are given to the charity, by themselves or their sponsors or donors, cannot be refunded or returned, under any circumstances, even if the participant is unable to participate in the event for whatever reason.

The charity reserves the right to withdraw a participant’s entry or refuse to allocate one of its entries to a participant/s and/or applicant/s if the participant/s and/or applicant/s participates or plans to participate in the event for another charity or organisation. The charity requests that all its applicants/participants kindly inform the charity if they intend to use one of the charity’s entries to participate in an event for another charity or organisation other than Get Kids Going!.
