Terms

Marathon Course is an independent guide to marathon courses. By using it you agree to these terms, which are short.

Last updated [date of publication].

A guide, not the race

Every figure is sourced and dated, and checked before it's published, but races change their dates, fees, courses and rules, sometimes at short notice. Check anything you'll rely on with the organiser before you enter, book or travel. The organiser's word is final.

Nothing here is medical or training advice. Course profiles and weather describe the course, not what you should do on it.

No affiliation

Marathon Course isn't connected to, endorsed by or paid by any race, organiser, sponsor or governing body. Race names, logos and sponsor names belong to their owners and are used here only to say which race a page is about. Pages name races without their sponsors.

Using the course data

Use the course lines, elevation profiles and figures published here however you like. The terrain models, weather data and maps behind them carry their own licences, listed on the credits page. Photographs belong to their photographers.

The writing on the site is ours. Quote it with a link; please don't republish it whole.

Liability

The site is provided as it is. To the extent the law allows, we're not liable for losses that come from relying on it, such as a missed entry deadline or a changed course. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under New Zealand's Consumer Guarantees Act or Fair Trading Act, where they apply. These terms are governed by New Zealand law.

Changes and contact

If these terms change, the date above changes with them. Questions go to zippy.ben@gmail.com.
