Terms and conditions

These Terms & Conditions (“Agreement”) apply to all bookings made with I Run the Globe (“Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

By submitting your registration or payment, you confirm that you have read and agree to these Terms.

We encourage you to review them carefully and contact us with any questions before booking.

1. Payment Terms

A non-refundable deposit is required at the time of registration to secure your travel package and, where applicable, your race entry.

The remaining balance is due 90 days prior to departure.

If payment is not received by the due date, your booking may be cancelled and amounts paid may be forfeited.

2. Prices and Currency

All prices are listed in U.S. Dollars (USD) unless otherwise stated.

Prices are subject to change prior to full payment due to:

  • Supplier price adjustments
  • Currency fluctuations
  • Government taxes or fees
  • Changes in availability

Once your package is paid in full, your price is confirmed.

3. Race Entry Policy

Race entries included in your package:

  • Are non-transferable
  • Are non-refundable
  • Cannot be deferred unless allowed by the race organizer

All participants must meet the event’s qualification and medical requirements.

If a participant does not meet the event requirements, withdraws, or is disqualified, refunds cannot be provided.

4. Cancellation by Participant

All deposits are non-refundable.

If you cancel your trip:

  • 90 or more days before departure: Deposit is forfeited
  • 89 days or fewer before departure: The full package amount is non-refundable

No refunds can be issued for unused services, missed flights, illness, visa issues, or personal reasons.

We strongly recommend purchasing comprehensive travel insurance that includes trip cancellation coverage.

5. Marathon Cancellation or Modification

If a marathon is cancelled, postponed, modified, or converted to a virtual event, we are not responsible for those decisions.

Any race entry refunds or credits are subject to the race organizer’s policies.

Hotel and travel services remain subject to supplier cancellation terms.

6. Minimum Participation Requirement

If a trip does not reach the required minimum number of participants, we may cancel the group program.

In that case, you will receive either:

  • A full refund of amounts paid to us; or
  • The option to continue your travel arrangements without on-site group support.

A refund in this situation would be your sole remedy.

7. Shared Accommodation

Participants selecting a shared room agree to be paired with another participant of the same gender.

If a suitable roommate is not available, single occupancy charges will apply.

We are not responsible for roommate compatibility.

8. Booking Changes

Changes after confirmation:

  • Are subject to availability
  • Subject to supplier approval
  • Subject to a USD $75 administrative fee plus supplier penalties

9. Force Majeure

I Run the Globe shall not be liable for failure to perform or delay in performance resulting from events beyond reasonable control, including but not limited to:

  • Acts of God
  • Weather events
  • Natural disasters
  • Government restrictions
  • Border closures
  • War (declared or undeclared)
  • Civil unrest
  • Strikes
  • Terrorism
  • Pandemics or epidemics
  • Quarantine restrictions
  • Transportation disruptions
  • Supplier insolvency

In such cases, refunds shall be subject to the recovery of funds from suppliers.

10. Assumption of Risk

Participation in marathon events and related travel involves inherent physical risks.

By booking, you acknowledge that you are voluntarily participating and are medically fit to do so.

You assume responsibility for your participation in training, racing, and related activities.

11. Limitation of Liability

I Run the Globe acts as an intermediary arranging services provided by independent third-party suppliers (including hotels, transport providers, and race organizers).

We are not responsible for the acts or omissions of those suppliers.

To the fullest extent permitted by Washington law:

  • Our liability is limited to the total amount paid directly to us.
  • We are not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages.

12. Travel Documentation

You are responsible for ensuring you have:

  • A valid passport
  • Required visas
  • Necessary vaccinations
  • Required travel authorizations

Failure to obtain proper documentation does not qualify for a refund.

13. Hotel Incidentals

Hotels may require a credit card at check-in for incidental expenses.

You are responsible for any additional charges incurred during your stay.

14. Governing Law and Venue

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Washington and applicable federal law.

15. Mandatory Binding Arbitration & Class Action Waiver

In the unlikely event of a dispute, we agree to resolve matters through binding arbitration in Washington State under the Federal Arbitration Act.

Arbitration:

  • Will be conducted before a single neutral arbitrator
  • Will take place in Washington
  • Will be handled on an individual basis

You agree to waive the right to a jury trial or to participate in a class action.

This provision is intended to provide a fair and efficient resolution process.

16. Chargebacks and Payment Disputes

By submitting payment, you acknowledge that your purchase is authorized and subject to these Terms.

We ask that you contact us directly to resolve any billing concerns before initiating a chargeback.

Nothing in this section limits your rights under applicable law.

Improper chargebacks that violate this Agreement may result in recovery of associated costs and fees.

17. Severability

If any provision of this Agreement is found unenforceable, the remainder will remain in effect.

18. Electronic Acceptance

Submitting your registration or payment constitutes your electronic acceptance of these Terms.
