1. Who these terms apply to
These terms apply to anyone who registers for, donates to, volunteers for or takes part in Run for the Mind (the “event”) through this website. The event is organised by the Run for the Mind organising committee (“we”, “us”, “the organisers”). By registering, donating or volunteering you agree to these terms, our Privacy Policy and our Cancellation and Refund Policy.
2. The event
- A community run and walk with three distances (3 km, 5 km and 10 km) in Mak BTR on Saturday 17 October 2026, marking World Mental Health Day. Flag-off (times to be announced) is from a start point to be announced.
- It is a participation event. There is no chip timing, no ranking and no prize money. Every finisher receives a medal and a certificate.
- We may change the route, start time, venue or programme, or postpone or cancel the event, where weather, safety, medical advice, permissions or circumstances beyond our control require it. We will tell registered participants by email as early as we can. Entry fees are not refunded in these cases (see the Cancellation and Refund Policy).
3. Who can take part
- The event is open to all ages. Anyone under 18 must have the consent of a parent or guardian, who is responsible for the child before, during and after the event. Children under 12 should be accompanied on the route.
- You confirm that you are physically fit to walk or run the distance you choose. If you have a medical condition, are pregnant or are in any doubt, please check with a doctor before registering.
- We may refuse or cancel a registration if the details given are false or incomplete, or if participation would be unsafe.
4. Registration and entry fee
- Registration is through the form on this website. You must give your correct name, date of birth, mobile number and email address, and choose a distance (3K, 5K or 10K). One registration per person. You can change your distance by email until kit collection; moving to a longer distance means paying the difference, and moving to a shorter one is not refunded.
- The entry fee is ₹899 for the 3K, ₹999 for the 5K or ₹1,199 for the 10K per person, inclusive of all taxes. It covers the run T-shirt, bib, finisher’s medal and certificate, and hydration on the route and at the finish. Any surplus goes towards children’s education and community service in Mak BTR.
- Your place is confirmed only when the entry fee has been received. Until then your registration is held as “pending payment” and may be released.
- A group registration (2 to 20 people) is made by one contact person, who chooses a distance for each member, confirms that every member has agreed to these terms and consents to their details being submitted, and who pays the total for the group in one payment.
- Registrations close when places are full or on the date we announce, whichever is earlier.
5. Payment
- Online payments are processed by Razorpay in Indian rupees (INR). Card, bank and UPI details are entered on Razorpay’s secure pages and are never seen or stored by us.
- A payment confirmation and receipt are emailed to the address you registered with. Keep the registration reference and payment ID for your records.
- The entry fee is non-refundable and non-transferable. See the Cancellation and Refund Policy.
