Medical Support
Qualified First Aiders will be on hand at the race head quarters to assist with any emergency injuries. Please note you should seek medical advice from your own GP if you are in any doubt as to your health in competing in this event. The organisation will not be held responsible for any injury, accident, loss or damage that may arise before, during or after the event as a consequence of a competitor’s participation in the race.

Results
The Ickworth Sunset Chase results have been contracted out to a third party and they will record the times by chip timing. The organisers accept no responsibility for equipment failure or an inability to capture finish times in any way. Failure to secure your chip in line with the instructions or to lose it will mean your time is not recorded.
We use British Athletics rules in arriving at winners. We base our winners on the information supplied by the chip timing company and do not accept responsibility for any errors. If an accurate race time is imperative to competitors we ask that they bring their own watches to record their times.
All times will be live on our website www.rawtrails.co.uk
All recorded times are final and no dispute will be entered into. The winning race categories are Male 1st, 2nd & 3rd & Female 1st, 2nd & 3rd for each race.
Race Photography
Epic Action Imagery will be capturing the event and race images will be made available free of charge. We will email you the link as soon as they become available (usually a day or two after the event).
Feedback
We are always keen to receive your feedback as it helps us to improve the event. We don't always see what happens out on the course so please let us know, especially if you think there are areas of the event which can be improved.
