Event Terms and Conditions
Select a section to read the applicable terms. Only one section and one detailed clause are displayed at a time. These terms apply to RSR Challenge registrations and participation.
1. Agreement and entry
Who organises the event, when the terms apply and the information participants must provide.
The RSR Challenge Series 5K and the RSR Challenge 10K (the Events) are organised by Singapore Shufflers Pte Ltd (the Organiser). By registering for, accepting a transfer into, or participating in an Event, the Participant agrees to these Event Terms and Conditions and any Event-specific instructions published by the Organiser. The Organiser may update these terms where reasonably necessary; the version accepted during registration is recorded with the entry.
All registration information must be true, accurate, complete and current. The Participant or person making the registration must promptly correct any error. The Organiser may refuse, suspend or cancel an entry where information is false, incomplete, misleading or cannot be reasonably verified.
On registration, Participants are required to select one of four options in the “Sex” field: “Female”, “Male”, “Other” or “Prefer Not To Say”. “Sex” refers to sex at birth.
For age-grading purposes, Participants selecting “Other” or “Prefer Not To Say” will have their age grade calculated using the RSR Male Age Grade Tables. For rankings purposes, Participants selecting “Other” or “Prefer Not To Say” will be ranked in the “Male” age-category results tables.
The Organiser may from time to time update this Gender Policy to ensure it is consistent with changes in legal or regulatory requirements and/or changes in the number of Participants selecting “Other” or “Prefer Not To Say”.
Participants must satisfy any age, entry-standard, capacity or other eligibility conditions published for the Event. A participant under 18 must have valid consent from a parent or legal guardian. Online guardian consent is the primary record, with a backup form used where online verification is unavailable or incomplete.
An entry is valid only for the registered Participant unless the Organiser approves a transfer. Any requests for a transfer must be submitted at least 24 hours prior to the start of the Event. Unauthorised sale, duplication, substitution or transfer of an entry may lead to cancellation or disqualification.
2. Fees, offers and payment
How prices, discounts, credits and payment confirmation work.
Entry fees may vary by Event, registration period, purchase date or time, number of entries, Participant eligibility and applicable promotional offers. Unless stated otherwise, all deadlines use Singapore time. The applicable fee and every applied discount are shown before payment.
Discount codes, automatic discounts, entry packages, credits and complimentary offers are subject to the eligibility requirements, validity periods, usage limits and conditions displayed with the offer.
- Offers cannot be combined unless the relevant offer says they can.
- Only the highest qualifying tier within a staged multiple-purchase offer applies.
- Discounts cannot be applied retrospectively after payment.
- Codes and credits have no cash value and may not be sold or transferred.
- Free-entry offers apply to the lowest-priced eligible entry unless stated otherwise.
- All offers remain subject to Event capacity and registration availability.
Where a price is reserved during checkout, it remains valid only until the displayed expiry time. If payment is not completed before then, the price may be recalculated. The price becomes final when payment is completed and the Organiser issues confirmation. Payment may be processed by Stripe, including supported payment methods such as PayNow where available.
The Organiser may reject a discount obtained through misuse, duplication, false information, technical manipulation or breach of the offer conditions. Where an obvious pricing or technical error occurs, the Organiser may correct the amount and provide an appropriate payment, credit, transfer or refund option.
3. Event changes, postponement or cancellation
What happens if an Event has to make changes.
When reasonably necessary for safety, permissions, weather, public-health requirements, force majeure or circumstances outside its reasonable control, the Organiser may postpone or cancel the Event or alter the date, start-time, course, format, cut-off times, capacity and any other operational details. In the event of a cancellation, there shall be no refund of registration fees paid and the Organiser shall not be liable for any other loss or inconvenience caused.
The Organiser is not responsible for delay, change or cancellation caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including severe weather, haze, flooding, lightning, government action, venue closure, transport disruption, civil emergency, epidemic or failure of essential services. Nothing in this clause limits rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.
4. Health, risk and safety
Participant fitness, inherent risks and compliance with safety instructions.
The Participant is responsible for deciding whether they are medically and physically fit to take part. Distance running involves exertion and may expose participants to heat, humidity, dehydration, illness, collision, falls, traffic, uneven surfaces and other risks. A Participant should not start or continue if unwell, injured or advised not to exercise.
Participation is voluntary and at the Participant’s own risk. The Participant accepts the ordinary and inherent risks of training for, travelling to, attending and taking part in the Event, including the possibility of injury, illness, death or loss of property. Nothing in these terms excludes or restricts liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or restricted, including liability for death or personal injury resulting from negligence.
Participants must follow instructions from the Organiser, officials, marshals, venue staff, medical personnel and public authorities. The Organiser, officials, marshals, venue staff, medical personnel and public authorities may prevent a Participant from starting, require them to stop, remove them from the course or refuse a future entry where this is reasonably necessary for safety, event integrity or compliance with the rules.
The Participant authorises reasonable first aid, medical assessment, emergency treatment and transport where considered necessary. Emergency contact and medical information may be shared with relevant medical, safety or public-authority personnel for this purpose. The Participant remains responsible for any personal medical or transport costs not covered by the Organiser.
5. Event operation and results
Timing, cut-offs, conduct, results and disqualification.
The Event results use gun time unless expressly stated otherwise. The standard cut-off time is 30 min 00 sec for the RSR Challenge Series 5K and 55 min 00 sec for the RSR Challenge 10K, with an interim cut-off of 24 min 30 sec at 4.6k for the 10k. Participants outside a cut-off may be asked to stop, move off the measured course or continue without official support or a published result.
Each Participant’s assigned number bib and personal running light must be visible on their front at all times during the Event. Participants without their allocated bib number or personal running light will not be allowed to take part in the Event.
Pacers are not permitted unless the Organiser expressly authorises them. Participants must complete the published course under their own effort, follow the marked route and avoid conduct that creates an unfair advantage, obstructs another runner or compromises safety. Unauthorised course-cutting, substitution, assistance or equipment may result in adjustment, exclusion or disqualification.
The Organiser aims to publish results promptly, but provisional results may be corrected after timing checks, course review, identity matching or receipt of evidence. Participants should report an error as soon as possible. The Organiser’s reasonable decision on Event operation, eligibility, timing, records, ranking inclusion and disqualification is final, subject to applicable law.
Participants are responsible for their own clothing, devices, valuables and other property. Any bag-drop or storage arrangement is used at the Participant’s risk unless the Organiser expressly accepts responsibility in writing.
6. Photography, results and data
How Event media and sporting results may be used.
The Event may be photographed, filmed or otherwise recorded. The Participant grants the Organiser a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free right to use Event images, video and audio for reporting, promotion, historical records and communication about RSR, the Events and related running activities. A reasonable request concerning a specific image will be considered, but removal cannot be guaranteed where material has already been published or lawfully shared.
The Participant understands that their name, sex, age, age category, club, school, nationality, Singaporean residency-status, race related information (including race name, date, time, position, venue), age grade, records and related sporting information may be published and retained as part of the public historical results and rankings record. Publication is governed by the Privacy Policy.
Operational Event messages may be sent where necessary to administer an entry, payment, safety matter, Event change, reminder or result. These essential communications are part of delivering the Event and are not optional marketing messages.
By registering, the Participant agrees to receive communications required to administer the entry, payment, safety, Event changes, reminders and results. The Organiser may also send news about future Events, Run Singapore Rankings and Singapore Shufflers where permitted by law. A recipient may unsubscribe from news and promotional communications at any time without affecting essential communications for an Event they have entered.
7. Liability and legal terms
Limitations, indemnity, governing law and contact details.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Organiser is not liable for indirect or consequential loss, loss of opportunity, loss caused by a Participant’s own act or omission, or loss arising from inherent sporting risks or circumstances outside the Organiser’s reasonable control. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or restricts any non-excludable statutory right.
The Participant is responsible for loss or damage caused by their unlawful, reckless or materially negligent conduct. To the extent permitted by law, the Participant will reimburse the Organiser for reasonable third-party claims or costs directly caused by that conduct, except to the extent the loss was caused by the Organiser’s negligence or breach of duty.
These terms are governed by Singapore law. The parties should first attempt to resolve a dispute in good faith by contacting the Organiser. If it cannot be resolved, it may be referred to arbitration in Singapore in accordance with applicable Singapore arbitration law, unless a non-excludable right requires another forum.
