Conduct

Relay For Life is a family event and alcohol, where permitted at a venue, should be consumed only in moderation. Anyone behaving inappropriately or in a manner such as to cause disturbance or annoyance to other guests or participants will be asked to leave. Should a relay venue not allow alcohol consumption then all participants must abide by their rules.

Health and Safety and Medical

Participants are responsible for ensuring that they are sufficiently fit and healthy to take part in the Event. Anyone unsure of their physical ability to take part in the Event must therefore seek medical advice from a general practitioner prior to the Event.
Notwithstanding rule 1 above, we reserve the right to refuse entry to the Event in our absolute discretion if for whatever reason we consider a person unfit to take part. We may also ask you to withdraw during the Event if we have concerns about your ability to complete it due to fitness, injury or otherwise. If you continue, you do so with the understanding that you absolve us and CRUK of all and any responsibility and progress entirely at your own risk.
Participants must call the Event organiser or report to an Event marshal, should they decide not to finish the route before the close of the Event.
