What happens if the event is cancelled due to COVID-19?
In the case that this event is made impossible to proceed, either by force majeure events (such as a COVID-19 outbreak) or by acts of third parties (such as strikes, terrorist acts or government orders), negotiations would take place with participants in terms of the return/refund of registration fees with potential to transfer funds raised to a future fundraising event (within 12 months of the planned event) if the participant chooses to participate again. If the participant elects not to ride in the subsequent years event, all funds raised by the fundraiser at the point of cancellation will be retained by the charity.
RMHC SA will take every measure to notify Riders of any changes to the schedule as soon as possible.
