Running at Ower

Course
Ower Trail runs by their very nature feature uneven ground and parts of the course may be slippery. Runners accept full responsibility for their actions and Ower Trail Running will not be liable for any loss, damage, injury or illness caused as a result of participating in any of our events. Ower Trail Running recommends trail running footwear for events, however, no running spikes are permittable. 

Juniors under 16
Ower Trail Running fully accepts its duty of care and will do everything it can to minimise risk of injury and harm to all participants whilst at Ower Trail Running, it is parents / guardians who ultimately have responsibility for the welfare of their children.
Participants must be at least 16 years of age for all events, other than the “kid’s race”
It is not mandatory for a parent or guardian to participate in kids races, but children under the age of 16 must be accompanied to and from the event by a responsible adult, and the responsible adult must remain in attendance for the duration.

Dogs
We ask those not taking part in the event with their dog to keep their dog on a lead during the day. For those taking part in the canicross 5k or 10k, correct harnesses are required, and no collars are tolerated. Race entry may be forfeited with no refund if incorrect equipment is used as this is an Animal welfare issue.
Dog waste should be collected and disposed of in the skip by the track.
Public liability insurance is required for all canicross runners, and proof may be required to be shown on the day.
