Manorlands PaintRush 2026: Terms and Conditions and Disclaimer
Registration
Every participant must fill in their own registration form unless:
The person completing the form is doing so as the parent or guardian of a participant aged under 18 in which case the parent or guardian must inform the participant that they have signed the terms and conditions on their behalf and that their participation in the event will be governed by these terms.
Refunds
The entry fee for the PaintRush is non-transferable and non-refundable. If the event has to be cancelled due to reasons beyond our control such as Covid 19 restrictions, we will endeavour to reschedule the event to a later date for which entries will be valid.
The event start
The organisers retain the right to make a change to the advertised start time and to stagger the start if necessary.
Terrain and obstacles
The terrain for this event is 95% grass and 5% rough track, which can both be slippery, especially in wet conditions, and participants should therefore wear appropriate footwear. The course will be mainly flat with the exception of a 20m-long incline and a 20m-long descent. Within certain colour stations basic obstacles will be placed in order to slow down participants; this will make them easier to hit with the throwing powder. Participants should be aware that these obstacles are in place and follow marshals’ instructions to enter these areas.
Publicity and photographs
- By participating, participants agree to take part in pre and post-race publicity which may include interviews, photography and/or filming for Sue Ryder internal communications, local and/or national media and online media. We will also take photographs and/or videos during the event. We may also share images taken by our photographer after the event in case participants want to download them as mementos.
- By signing up to this event participants agree to Sue Ryder and our co-organisers using the images/video referred to above for future promotional materials, unless they notify us of any specific objections. The promotional materials may include leaflets and posters, web pages, emails/mailings and social media postings. Please inform us if you would prefer for us not to share images of yourself or members of your family. In the event that you raise any objections to the use of any image in which you are featured after the event Sue Ryder will remove that image from its website and refrain from any future use of it, but cannot undertake to remove from circulation any printed materials already in use.
- Sue Ryder and our co-organisers will endeavour not to use any photographs, images or likenesses of children aged 16 or under which identify them without express consent from a parent/guardian.
- Where we wish to provide identifying information along with a photo (for example in a press release if you win the event) we will ask the person involved or their parent or guardian for permission to publish the photo with identifying information. If this permission is not provided either in writing or verbally we will not publish the photo.
- Supporters are welcome to take pictures on the day but please ensure that, where the pictures capture images of children, only one's own family members are included.
