Article 5

Registration refunds

Once registration has been completed, the entry fee is non-refundable under any circumstances.

During the registration process, runners may purchase registration protection through the Cancellation Insurance.

To do so, participants must select the option "Yes, I want Cancellation Protection with a 100% refund of the entry fee" (PLEASE READ THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS BEFORE PURCHASING).

  • Cancellation protection may only be purchased at the time of registration.
  • This insurance only covers certain circumstances (injuries, serious health issues or personal situations such as changes in employment). PLEASE READ THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS BEFORE PURCHASING.
  • The cost of the cancellation protection is non-refundable.

If a participant registers without Cancellation Insurance and is unable to take part for any reason, they may not request a refund. However, they may transfer their race bib to another runner by following the official transfer procedure. The deadline for race bib transfers is 4 April 2027.

Article 6

Insurance

All properly registered participants will be covered by public liability and accident insurance.

The organisers hold the corresponding public liability insurance policy.

The organisers will also provide sports accident insurance for all participants in accordance with Royal Decree 849/1993.

Participation by unregistered runners is strictly prohibited.

The organisers strongly recommend that anyone who has not previously completed an event of similar characteristics, or who has not engaged in regular physical activity for an extended period, undergo a medical examination and/or an exercise stress test before taking part.

Article 7

Technical Aspects

The Zaragoza Marathon Regulations establish that the maximum time to complete the marathon will be 5 hours. Checkpoints will close at the half marathon (11:00), km 30 (12:05), and km 35 (12:40).

After that time, the organization reserves the right to close the finish line and the official timing of the event.

Organization staff and Local Police may withdraw runners who do not meet the split times adjusted to the time limit (7'05'' per kilometer) or who fall behind the checkpoint closing pace.

The circuit will be closed to traffic and only accredited official vehicles may accompany the race.

Any athlete who, knowing of their inability to participate, provides incorrect data to the Organization in order to do so, will be disqualified. It should be remembered that claims must be made to the Race Referee, up to 30 minutes after the race classification is made public.

Participation in the competition implies acceptance of these regulations. The Organization reserves the right to modify those aspects of the event that are necessary due to force majeure, with prior authorization from the Race Referee.

For legal, sporting, and safety reasons, the bib may not be transferred to another runner without following the process provided for it, and without obtaining the consent of the organization. If the organization becomes aware of such a circumstance, the bib will be disabled, and the details of the person transferring or selling it may be noted, preventing their registration for the next 4 years.

Anything not provided for in these regulations will be resolved by the Race Referee, in accordance with the current regulations of WA, RFEA, and FAA.

Article 8

Timing and Results

Timing and ranking control will be carried out using a chip system with validation by the FAA jury. The company CRONOCHIP ARAGÓN, responsible for timing, is validated by the RFEA.

The results of the MANN-FILTER Zaragoza Marathon 10K can be viewed on the event's website, www.zaragozamaraton.com, and on the FAA website www.federacionaragonesadeatletismo.com in the calendar section.

Article 10

Acceptance

All participants, by registering, accept these regulations, and in case of doubt or if any situation arises not reflected therein, the Organizing Committee's decision will prevail.

Signing the registration (and the registration itself, in the case of the internet) implies having read, understood, and agreed to the following:

  • I certify that I am in good physical condition.
  • I exempt Last Lap, Club de Atletismo Corre en Zaragoza, sponsors or commercial partners, directors, employees, the Event Organizing Company, and other organizers from any liability that may derive from participation in the event, such as loss of personal objects due to theft or other circumstances.
  • I waive any legal action that may derive from participation in the event.
  • I authorize the event organizers to record my participation in whole or in part through photographs, films, television, radio, video, and any other known or future medium, and I cede all rights relating to their commercial and advertising exploitation as they deem appropriate, without the right on the part of the runner to receive financial compensation.

Article 11

Personalized Race Photos

During the race, the entity KST Fotografía, as Data Processor for Last Lap and the Corre en Zaragoza club, will take photos of the event for the purpose of publishing said images on the website and social networks of the event and the organizers.

In the event that the participant checks the corresponding box, KST Fotografía, as Data Controller, will also process said images to make them available for viewing and sale to the participant.

  • The participant, by activating the camera of their mobile device (not the bib or any other photo to preserve the image of third-party runners), will access their race photos, only theirs, which they can view and purchase if they deem it appropriate.
  • KST Fotografía would not have access to any runner data, and the action, until the acceptance of the legal terms we mark, would be on the official race website. They cannot be purchased in any way other than through that procedure.
  • From this operation, KST Fotografía receives a payment from the runner, provided they purchase the photos. Viewing will not have any cost to the user.
