• Refunds and cancellations:  The moment you enter our race we start to incur administration costs. No refund can be given if the race is cancelled or postponed due to circumstances outside of our control.  Your entry fee is invested in the staging of the race and main costs to contractors, suppliers, administration etc. are already committed well before race day.  Most races do not offer any form of refund at all if a runner decides not to run for whatever reason.  However we can offer a credit of 50% towards the entry cost of a guaranteed place for the following year's Perkins Great Eastern Run.  This will only apply to enrants who cancel their entry (in writing) before 31 July 2012.  After 31 July we wil guarantee you a place in 2012 (you still have to pay the appropriate fee) providing we receive your race pack back by 9 October.
