Timing Chips will be supplied to be fitted to the shoe or ankle, the chip must be returned after the race. Failure to do so will result in a €10 charge.

Only impaired people with a guide dog will be permitted. Please email organiser@dundalkhalfmarathon.com prior to the race if you are running with a guide dog.

Refunds and Cancellations

The moment you enter our race we start to incur administration costs and banking charges, simply in processing your entry and payment. We also incur further charges in administering cancellations and processing refund payments.

No refund can be given if the race has to be cancelled or postponed due to circumstances outside our control, for instance due to a bomb scare. Your entry fee is invested in the cost of staging the event, and the main costs to contractors, suppliers, administration etc are already committed well before race day.

Furthermore most races do not offer any form of refund at all if a runner decides to cancel their place because of injury, illness, lack of training or change of plan. There are many other instances of higher priced services, such as plane, train or theatre tickets where no refunds can be given for cancellation in these circumstances.

However, in fairness to runners who cannot compete for whatever reason, we can offer a credit of €10 towards the cost of a guaranteed entry for the following year's Dundalk Half Marathon. This will only apply to applicants who cancel their entry before the 24th March 2009 - 6 weeks before race day as this is the date we start to post out race packs.

Running in someone else's race number can have very serious consequences if a participant suffers a medical emergency - The accuracy of the race results is also affected when runners are placed in the wrong age and gender categories.

We reserve the right to refuse or cancel applications, including duplicate applications, or alter the date of the event, the course route or distance at any stage. In the event of a change in date, race route or race distance details will be published on this website if possible.

Duplicate entries

Duplicate entries made in genuine error will be refunded in full.

We reserve the right to cancel all entries and donate all entry fees to one of the race charities where we have reason to believe that duplicate entries have been deliberately made by an applicant with the intention of subsequent re-sale - i.e. 'ticket touting'.

Where duplicate entries are made for different categories of entry we reserve the right to decide which category of entry will apply and which will be cancelled. For instance where an applicant has applied for both a general public place and a reserved fundraising place (e.g. official race charity or corporate challenge) we will normally decide to cancel the general public place in favour of the fundraising place.

Notification of Cancellation

Notification of cancellation must received either by email to organiser@dundalkhalfmarathon.com or posted to Dundalk Half Marathon, Baldwin House, 36 Park Street, Dundalk, Co. Louth.

We cannot accept cancellations by phone.
