Each participant must agree to the 2025 Terms and Conditions, Event Rules, Kit Requirements and the following Participant Declaration when completing an application form:
I am an experienced off-road runner and believe that I have reasonable chance of completing the Montane Dragon’s Back Race® or The Hatchling course as it is described on this website, and declare that:
I am capable of being self-sufficient and making safe decisions in the remote mountainous terrain;
I have sufficient off-road running, mountain and ultra experience to understand the nature of the challenge;
I will apply sound mountain judgement at all times even if it means compromising my overall race result;
I accept full responsibility for my own safety and any injury sustained during the event. These are not the responsibility of the event organiser, their agents or the landowners;
I know my limitations and I am experienced enough to make a reasoned decision whether or not to start the event and/or to retire from the event rather than jeopardise my own or other people’s safety.
