Rules

OFFICIAL RESULTS AND OBJECTIONS

• It is the responsibility of the runner taking part in any Trail Series event to follow the course markers and thus the full and correct route. Any runner going wrong must return to the course at the point where he/she went wrong before continuing, any alternative to this shall be deemed a short-cut and that runner faces the possibility of disqualification (subject to appeal from another runner being received by the race director within 10 minutes of finishing).
• Time and position results will only count for those runners having completed the correct course as prepared by the Trail Series organisers, subject to the discretion of the race director.
• In the event of a runner not following the full and correct route, and that this misdirection was found not to be by fault of the course marking, that runner shall be disqualified (subject to an appeal from another runner being received by the race director within 10 minutes of finishing).
• If an appeal is not received within 10 minutes of finishing, the results shall stand. Further corrections will be at the discretion of the race director.
• Those runners with a formal complaint, can do so in writing to the race director Owen Middleton, owen@trailseries.co.za. Complaints will be considered and any decision made will be in the best interests of the Trail Series.
• Disqualification of a runner will be at the sole discretion of the race director.
