- Runners may be refused entry if the reduction in fees is claimed and they are not affiliated to an athletic council.
- No refunds will be given for runners who are unable to take part.
- As the run crosses the entry road to Porthcawl RNLI station, it goes without saying that if there is an emergency and the RNLI are paged the run will be stopped to allow safe access of the crew to the Lifeboat station. In this event, the race will not be restarted.
