7. Go Dad Ltd takes all reasonable steps to minimise the risk of injury to participants during fundraising events. There is a stringent risk assessment process in place for each and every Event which aims to minimise or eliminate the risk to everyone taking part.

Sponsorship Money and Donations
All participants have a legal responsibility to ensure that all sponsorship monies/donations received in connection with an Event are paid to our official charity partners and we ask that you do this as soon as possible after the Event that you take part in.
Details of all 11 of our official charity partners and links to their websites where you can find their full contact details are on the Go Dad Run website.
2. Please note that we are unable to accept your sponsorship money on the day of the Event as Go Dad Ltd does not have the suitable cash handling facilities to fulfil this process.
Filming and Photography at the Events1. By taking part, all participants, volunteers and spectators confirm that they are happy for their names and any video footage, stills or photographs taken during their participation of the Events by Go Dad Ltd or our third party partners to be used to publicise the event, by Go Dad Ltd for commercial and fundraising purposes and by our third party partners for their own commercial and marketing purposes. This may include, but is not limited to, television broadcasts, publications, marketing material and other documents that may be made available to the public.
Photographs of children will not be used in this manner without a parent’s or legal guardians written consent. However, we may use images where children are incidentally included for example, of mass participation in the warm-up exercises, on the starting line or as a general photo on the course. No personal details (including names) of an under 16-year-old participant will be used in any publicity materials without the written consent of their parent or legal guardian. We will not provide participants’ personal details to third parties.
2. By registering a participant under the age of 16 (or allowing an under 16 year old to take part in an Event), you confirm that their parent/legal guardian is happy for their images to be used in the manner described in these rules.
3. Go Dad Ltd and its authorised partners may appoint third party photographers to take photographs at the Events. All participants agree that their photographs may be sent to them, to other people featured in their photographs and to children’s parents/legal guardians where children are featured in their photos.
4. If you do not wish your photograph taken, please tell the photographer on the day.
5. All third party photographers at the Events have been instructed to ask for parental/guardian permission before taking any individual photographs of children at the event. Whilst photographers/videographers will try to obtain parental/legal guardian’s consent before taking images where children are more than just incidentally included, this cannot be guaranteed. This does not include photography of crowd shots, when permission will not be sought.

Go Dad Ltd shall not be liable for any injury or loss to participants or their property that might occur as a result of their participation in an Event, other than in respect of any injury or loss arising as a result of Go Dad Ltd negligence.

Go Dad Run, your data and GDPRGo Dad Run is not taking place in 2018 while we decide how to move the project forward together in the future.
During the Go Dad Run events of 2013 - 17 we collected the name, age, sex, address, email and phone number of runners a part of the normal registration process and to send them their race details and news letters.
Because no further runs are planned at the moment the previously collected runner data will not be used by Go Dad Run for any purpose or to contact runners unless in reply to a specific runner who contacts us themselves.
You have the right to request that we erase your contact details by emailing us at
