How to register


You can register online on the London Inline Marathon website (www.londoninlinemarathon.com) and pay through the PayPal system. Alternatively you can download and print a form from the website and send it with a cheque for the appropriate amount. We regret that we can only accept UK cheques in pounds sterling (GBP). Registration on the day may be possible if you are unable to do so beforehand, but is dependent on space. Note that on the day we can accept only cash payments or cheques with a cheque guarantee card.  



Deadline


Deadline for receipt of postal registrations and payment is Sunday 9th of May 2010.

Online registration and payment will be open up to Sunday 16th of May 2010 , 23:00, or until all available entries are taken.

On the day registrations will close at 12:30pm (or when all available spaces are taken, whichever is earliest).

Limit: 200 skaters per race, please register early to avoid disappointment.


Classifications


Besides the overall classifications, there are separate age-group classifications.


Results, Awards and Prizes


All results will be made available through the www.londoninlinemarathon.com web pages as soon as possible after the race.

Awards will be given to the first three skaters in various categories.  A cash prize may be awarded to the overall winner of the full marathon.


Timing


This year we will be using an active transponder timing system provided by HS Sports. Due to the high cost of the transponders all entrants will be required to sign for their timing chip at the race registration desk.  An additional fully refundable deposit of £10 will also be required on the day.  The transponder then must be returned after the race where it will be signed back in and the £10 deposit will be refunded.


IMPORTANT If you lose or damage your timing transponder you will be charged a £65 replacement fee

Transponder (timing chip) rental is included in your entry fee.

The timing transponder must not be changed in any way.

The transponder must be attached on the boot in the lace area or on the ankle with the provided cable or strip (It must NOT be attached to the metal frame of a skate)

No transponder - no classification!


Confirmation


Confirmation of entry will be sent only if requested and the competitor provides an email address.


Race Documentation


Race packs and numbers should be collected from the Hillingdon Cycle Circuit on the day of the race (between 10:00 and 10:30 for the minis race and between 10:30 and 13:00 for the full and half marathon). Race numbers are to be worn on the right thigh. The race number must not be changed in any way.


Course


The course is slightly less than one mile long, so the Full Marathon will be 28 laps. The track is smooth asphalt, running anti-clockwise with some undulations, bends and a gentle hill. A lap counter will be positioned adjacent to the Start/Finish line. A bell will be rung at the beginning of the final lap for the lead skaters/groups.


First Aid


Emergency First Aid will be provided.


Refreshment and Water Stations


Course: A water station will be situated at the trackside providing water to participants throughout their race.

Refreshments will also be available for sale to competitors and spectators.


Finish


The races will be closed after 2h 30min (Full and Half Marathon) or 30min (Mini-marathon). Skaters who are still on the track after these times may not be allowed to start another lap.


Liability


Participation is at the skater's risk. Liability of any kind will be assumed neither by the organiser, the federation, the circuit, sponsors, nor officials. This also applies to accidents, lost items of clothing and other belongings. The collection of a participant's race number acknowledges that participant's fitness to compete and agreement with the present terms and conditions.
