5. About the Jury, Protests, and Penalties
The jury consists of at least two and at most four members from the race management. The jury interprets and decides according to the race rules, decides in the event of a protest, decides on disqualification, and has decision-making authority regarding changes to the track and race rules. The jury is competent if at least two members have participated in the decision. The jury may decide in a situation not covered by these race rules using good judgment and common sense. The jury's decision is final and cannot be appealed. A protest must be in writing and submitted to the jury no later than 1 hour after finishing. A protest must include (i) time and place, (ii) start number(s) of the parties involved, (iii) reason for the protest, and (iv) information about any witnesses.

6. Binding Agreement and Name Changes
Registration for RUNmaröloppen is binding and non-refundable regardless of the reason. As a participant, you can transfer your spot to another participant directly on raceid.com under "My Races."

If the organizer is forced to cancel RUNmaröloppen due to circumstances beyond their control such as extreme weather, fire, pandemic, or similar, the registration fee will not be refunded, but the spot will be deferred to the next event if possible. If the race is canceled by the organizer for reasons other than those stated above, the registration fee will be fully refunded. The race management recommends that participants take out some form of insurance in case illness or injury prevents participation. Such insurance can be purchased directly on raceid.com during registration.
