3. Special Terms and Conditions for Registration and Participation in the Argonaut Marathon

This section applies to registration for and participation in the Argonaut Marathon. Where this section sets out specific rules, the rules in this section shall apply.

A participant means a natural person who registers for the marathon and/or takes part in it. All participants must comply with the terms set out in this section. Otherwise, the organiser reserves the right to refuse participation in the marathon at its own discretion and without the possibility of a refund of any payments already received.

Registration for the marathon is available on the website https://prijave.argonavtskimaraton.si/. To take part in the marathon, you must register in accordance with these general terms and conditions. Once registration and payment have been successfully completed, participants will receive a confirmation email containing all relevant details regarding the transaction and registration. Registration for the marathon is only finalised upon receipt of payment and fulfilment of all registration conditions.

The minimum age for participation in the 86 km Argonaut Marathon and the 63 km Mini Argonaut Marathon is 16 years; there is no age restriction for the 24 km Family Marathon.

Collection of race packs

The starter pack can only be collected the day before the marathon and on the day of the event. The date is published on the organiser’s website and via email.

Free entries

Certain places in the marathon may, at the organiser’s discretion, be allocated via a prize draw or through collaboration with charitable organisations. Participants cannot make any legal claims in this regard.

Health and safety

Participants confirm that they are physically and medically fit to take part in the marathon. The organiser recommends that all participants consult a doctor before the marathon and follow the doctor’s advice.

Rules and Obligations

By taking part in the marathon, participants accept and agree to all the rules and obligations set by the organiser. This includes complying with all instructions and regulations during the event, regardless of their form.

Notifications prior to the marathon

The organiser will inform participants of procedures, instructions and any changes relating to the marathon exclusively via participants’ registered email addresses and its website; therefore participants are obliged to monitor both communication channels. Should participants fail to comply with this condition, any claims or other legal consequences against the organiser are excluded.

Photography and filming

As the Argonaut Marathon is a public event taking place in public spaces, visitors and participants are aware that the event may be photographed and filmed. Photographs and video recordings taken at the event may be used to document and promote the event. The organiser undertakes to ensure that any material produced by the organiser is used respectfully and in accordance with the purpose of promoting the event. All rights to photographs and video footage created by the organiser or its authorised representatives belong to the organiser.

The organiser accepts no responsibility for photography or filming carried out by third parties at the Argonauts Marathon. As the marathon is a public event, participants or visitors to the event may take photographs or make video recordings, and the organiser cannot accept any responsibility for such activities. Participants and visitors to the marathon who do not wish to be photographed or filmed by third parties are responsible for making this clear to those taking photographs or filming.

Group registration

In the case of a group registration, the contact person is responsible for registering the entire group. The contact person is therefore solely and fully responsible for the information they enter on the website. This also includes the duty to inform the individuals whose personal data the contact person enters on this portal regarding the protection of personal data on this website. By entering the personal data of third parties, the contact person assumes full responsibility for obtaining the consent of those third parties for such processing. When adding participants to a group or club, the same personal data must be entered for the co-participants as for an individual registration.

Transfer of entry fee

Changing the distance from a longer to a shorter one (86 km to 63 km, 86 km to 24 km, 63 km to 24 km) is possible without any additional charge until 18 June 2027. To change your distance, please contact info@argonavtskimaraton.si. No refund will be given for the difference in fee when switching from the 86 km or 63 km distance to the 24 km distance.

Changing the distance from 24 km to a longer distance (24 km to 63 km, 24 km to 86 km) is not possible once the registration fee has been paid. This can only be arranged at the race number collection point for an additional fee of €25.00.

No refund of the entry fee is possible from the moment the right to withdraw ceases in accordance with these general terms and conditions, and at the latest from the start of the day on which the event begins, under any circumstances. This also applies in the event that the participant has a medical certificate.

Exclusion of liability

By taking part in the marathon, participants accept responsibility for all potential dangers and risks associated with the race. This includes, amongst other things, any injuries or medical complications.

The organiser accepts no liability for illness, injury, loss or damage that may occur whilst taking part in the marathon. Participants waive their right to bring legal action or make any other claims against the organiser in respect of any injuries, other medical complications or death resulting from participation in the marathon.

The organiser is not liable for any loss, material damage, other claims, expenses or costs that may arise in connection with participation in the event.
