When you complete an entry form to The Gretton Charity Sportive then you are bound by the following terms & conditions for this event.
1. The participant accepts that the event they are entering is not a race in any format. Anyone considered to be competing against others will be stopped from riding and banned from entering future events.

3. Each participant, upon signing the registration form or purchasing a ticket, agrees that they are physically and mentally capable of riding the distance they have chosen. If during the event, they decide to change their route and distance, then all consequences of this action are theirs.
4. The Event Registration Form or purchase of an entry to an event must be completed by a person aged 18 years or over. Evidence of age may be requested. Participants under the age of 18 years will be allowed to participate in the event with the consent of their parent or legal guardian who must sign the Event Registration Form or purchase a ticket on behalf of the underage rider. Signing or purchasing a ticket is also an acceptance for the actions and consequences of the underage rider. Under 16’s need to be accompanied at all times by an adult who is responsible for them.

Any rider not wearing a helmet will be disqualified from the event and could be liable for damages if involved in an accident on that basis. The rider must accept this as a condition of entry. The Travers Foundation and the ride organisers reserve the right to refuse entry to the event to anyone with inappropriate equipment or clothing.
7. The participant confirms that the cycle/bike they are riding for the event and all of their equipment is of a suitable standard and state of roadworthiness.

The absence of these signs does not signal there are no dangers approaching and it is the individual rider’s responsibility to make a decision regarding whether to ride a section or not. The marking of the route does not necessarily indicate that the road is rideable and the participant is deemed to make their own decision about whether to proceed on bike, foot or not at all.
9. Registering for a cycling event indicates your consent for The Travers Foundation to contact you with pre-event information and about relevant products or services. You can opt out of this at the point of registration.
