FAQ

While our regular Terms & Conditions state that we don't provide refunds, we recognise that we are operating in very unusual circumstances at the moment. With that in mind, registered participants have several options if their event is postponed due to COVID-19. 1) Transfer your registration to the new dates, 2) Transfer the credit from your registration to another event or 3) Request a refund. Note for refunds: we will provide a refund on the ticket price + any additional compulsory personal liability insurance paid (note this personal liability insurance is included in the Enduro event ticket), minus a $10 admin fee. Please note that we are unable to provide a refund on the Active processing fee, which is charged at the time of booking. This fee is charged by Active registration systems and is a fee that True Grit do not have any control over. Please email [email protected] with your preferred option should an event be regretfully postponed due to COVID-19. If, within two weeks of event day you are prevented from attending your True Grit event due to interstate COVID restrictions, the above options 2 and 3 will also be available to you.

We are taking a wide range of additional measures to ensure we are putting on COVID-Safe events for participants, volunteers and staff. These measures will increase and relax in line with the regulations at the time. Measures include but are not limited to: a) working to a comprehensive COVID-Safe event plan that has been approved by the relevant regulatory and Health bodies b) temperature checks on arrival c) contactless pay options d) significantly reduced wave capacities e) monitoring of total event attendance at any one time to ensure we are abiding by the maximum gathering requirements as stipulated by current restrictions in place f) sanitisation of obstacles between waves g) additional and more stringent cleaning schedules of communal areas h) hand sanitiser stations throughout the event + more. We ask that all participants do their bit to ensure a safe event as well - this includes: a) ensuring their electronic waiver has been signed prior to arriving on the day b) not showing up to the event if you are feeling unwell or displaying symptoms of COVID-19, and c) respecting the measures put in place on the day. This includes regular hand sanitising, maintaining social distancing and following the instructions of our volunteer crew and staff should they request something of you that will help make the event as safe as possible for everyone.
