Your name, gender, race number, country, company name (if applicable), year of birth, and nationality will be listed in the participant and result lists. Your race number, first name, and nationality will be printed on your race bib. Race numbers, participant lists, and result lists are publicly accessible. If you wish, you may opt for anonymity or have your nationality omitted.
Your email and mobile number will be used to send essential race information. You cannot unsubscribe from these emails as they are necessary for the smooth execution of the event. Your email and mobile number will not be shared with others.
Registration and Participation
Registration for Skagen Marathon is done via the official event website:
https://www.skagenmarathon.dk/
To participate in the marathon distance, you must be at least 16 years old on race day. For the half-marathon distance, you must be at least 15 years old on race day. You must be in good health and capable of completing the full distance on your own.
Blind or physically challenged participants are welcome to participate alongside other runners and may be accompanied by a guide if needed. However, guides on bicycles or service dogs are not permitted in the race field. Guides must also be registered, as the organizer must be aware of everyone on the route for safety reasons. Please contact us if you wish to participate with a guide.
Strollers and Prams: Strollers and prams are only permitted in the 5 km race. Participants must start at the very back of the field. Since not all runners are prepared for strollers on the course, it is crucial to be considerate and keep to the right, as some sections of the route are narrow.
Dogs: Dogs are not allowed in any race distance for the safety of both participants and the animals.
Confirmation and Registration Verification
Immediately after registering, you will receive an order confirmation via email. If you do not receive a receipt or notice an error, please contact the organizer. You will also receive a personal login to your registration profile on Sportstiming. It is your responsibility to ensure that all information is correct and updated. Notify the organizer if your details change.
Cancellation Policy and Refunds
Registration is binding, and there is no right of withdrawal once a race number has been purchased. The handling fee is also non-refundable. If you no longer wish to participate, you may transfer your race number through the Sportstiming website (see below).
Resale and Transfer of Race Number
You may transfer your race number to another person for a fee. The fee is paid by the participant transferring the race number. The transfer is completed through the participant's online profile. You can transfer your race number directly to a specific person or offer it on our resale portal. The transfer is not complete until the new participant has paid and received an email with a valid voucher code issued by the organizer.
Tickets for cultural and sports events may not be resold at a higher price than the original purchase price, per Danish law, unless an agreement has been made with the organizer.
Free or discounted race numbers cannot be resold.
A race number may not be commercially resold, used for package sales (i.e., sold with other products or services), competitions, resale, or similar, unless authorized by the organizer.
Unauthorized use of a race number may result in cancellation or disqualification.
The organizer is not responsible for fraud or misuse of a race number, even if it was transferred via the event’s official platforms, including Facebook or Instagram.
Cancellation Insurance
Sportstiming offers an optional cancellation insurance when purchasing a race number, allowing for a refund in cases of acute illness, injury, etc. (see conditions at the time of purchase). It is no longer possible to transfer the race number to the following year. If the event is sold out, you may resell your ticket through the resale portal, which opens during the event on Sportstiming.dk.
Participant Conditions
Race Numbers
A race number is personal. For safety reasons, the race number must be registered with your details so the organizer knows who is on the route at all times. It is therefore not allowed to give your race number to another runner without completing an official transfer.
All participants must wear a race number. You must collect your race number either the day before or on race day before the event starts. The organizer will provide details on collection times and locations closer to the event. A start card, sent via email before the event, is required to collect your race number. Unauthorized use of a race number may result in disqualification.
Picking up your race number on race day is at your own risk. Delays due to traffic, queues, or other factors are your responsibility.
Time Limits and Sweeper Services
There is a net time limit of 6 hours for the marathon distance. Time is calculated from the moment you cross the start line. For other distances, you must finish by 4:00 PM. The marathon, half-marathon, and Grenen Trail distances have a sweeper service.
If you cannot complete the race within the time limit or need to withdraw, you are responsible for returning to the start/finish area.
Media Material
Photos, videos, interviews, and similar media materials featuring you during Skagen Marathon may be freely used by the organizer, sponsors, and partners, including for marketing purposes.
Photos and videos used by the organizer may be published in print or online, including on websites, Facebook, and Instagram. All photos and videos are copyrighted and may not be used for marketing or commercial purposes by third parties without the organizer’s approval.
Liability and Cancellations
Responsibility and Health
By registering, you acknowledge that participation is at your own risk and that neither the organizer, partners, nor sponsors can be held responsible for any injuries sustained during the event.
You must be in good health and capable of completing your chosen distance on your own. Participants may note any special health conditions on the back of their race bib.
Race Cancellation
The organizer may cancel the race due to force majeure, such as governmental restrictions, extreme weather, accidents, or other uncontrollable circumstances.
Additionally, the organizer reserves the right to cancel the event if weather conditions (strong winds, heavy rain, heatwaves, etc.) make it unsafe for participants.
In all cases of cancellation, entry fees and associated costs will not be refunded. However, the organizer will take appropriate steps to minimize financial losses. Any potential surplus may be used for partial refunds.
If the organizer deems the event unsafe before race day, it may be postponed. In the case of postponement, any surplus will not be refunded.
Routes
The roads are partially closed to traffic.
Disclaimer
The organizer reserves the right to update event details and communicate important changes via email, SMS, and the official website.
