    RACE SERVICES CONTRACT
    Commonwealth Timing (CTRM) agrees to provide timing and general race support services for the above race to include, but not limited to timing your race; providing a PA system for announcements and race day music that we play; a finish line with corral and chute, time clock, race bibs; race results posted to our website in a timely manner; promotion your race on our website; posting of race photos on our website; providing race planning consultation; and any other services agreed upon.

    ​The race organization will be responsible for course management; cost of any event liability coverage if desired; police and emergency support costs; permit and facility fees; recruiting of volunteers and staff; cost of race supplies such as printed materials, awards, t-shirts, food and drink etc. It is also the responsibility of the race organization to ensure that runners wear their bibs correctly. The race organization acknowledges that no timing system is guaranteed to read every participant, but the chances are greatly enhanced if each runner wears their bib on the front at chest level. CTRM uses the most advanced technology available for race timing, however even this technology cannot eliminate equipment malfunctions. CTRM will provide the most accurate and timely results possible but, will not be held responsible for unforeseen equipment malfunctions. The race organization acknowledges that in case of inclement weather safety concerns may necessitate that some or all electrical equipment may not be able to be used for the race. In case the race is cancelled for any reason, the race organization agrees to pay CTRM 25% of the fixed timing fee if cancelled more than 45 days prior to race day; 50% if cancelled between 14 and 44 days prior to race day and 75% if cancelled with 13 days or less before race day. In the case of inclement weather CTRM will make every effort to work with the race organization to find a suitable time to reschedule. The race organization also agrees to send a runner database on an excel spreadsheet via email each Thursday by 3PM beginning 5 weeks before your race. The database must include the following information in a Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet utilizing the following columns: Bib Number, First Name, Last Name, Age, and Gender. You may also include additional columns for the city or team of each participant. If the database is not received by 3PM each Thursday (unless agreed upon in advance) there may be additional administrative costs to the race organization. CTRM acknowledges that the race organization owns the rights to the event and event logo but will have the right to use the event name in organizing, promoting, advertising and supporting the event. This agreement does not constitute a partnership, joint venture or principle-agent relationship between CTRM and the race organization and may not be assigned by either party and will be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. It is complete and represents the entire agreement between the parties.
