Last updated: March 17, 2026

By accessing and using the RunEast website, you agree to the following terms and conditions.

About Our Service

RunEast is an information platform that helps international runners discover trail running events in China. We aggregate and present event information, logistics guides, and registration links to make it easier for runners to find and participate in events.

Event Information

We make every effort to keep event information accurate and up-to-date. However, event details (including dates, prices, routes, and logistics) are sourced from third-party event organizers and are subject to change without notice. Always verify critical details directly with the event organizer before making travel arrangements.

Event Registration

When you register for an event through RunEast, you are entering into an agreement with the event organizer, not with RunEast. We facilitate the registration process but are not a party to the contract between you and the organizer. Refund policies, cancellation terms, and event rules are set by each event organizer.

User Responsibilities

  • You are responsible for verifying event details and assessing your own fitness and ability to participate.
  • You are responsible for obtaining any necessary visas, permits, or travel documents for entering China.
  • You agree to provide accurate information when using our contact form, newsletter signup, or event registration.

Limitation of Liability

RunEast is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. We are not liable for any damages arising from your use of our website, reliance on event information, or participation in any event listed on our platform. This includes, but is not limited to, travel expenses, injuries, or losses resulting from event cancellations or changes.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms from time to time. Continued use of the website after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.

Event Information Accuracy

RunEast aggregates event information from third-party organizers and public sources. While we strive to keep all information accurate and current, we cannot guarantee the completeness or accuracy of event details including but not limited to: dates, pricing, route descriptions, elevation profiles, ITRA/UTMB points, and registration deadlines.

Logistics Guides

Our logistics guides (including transportation options, hotel recommendations, and travel tips) are provided for informational purposes only. Transportation schedules, hotel availability, and local conditions may change. We recommend verifying all travel arrangements independently before your trip.

Health and Safety

Trail running, particularly at altitude and in remote areas, carries inherent risks. RunEast does not assess or guarantee the safety of any event. Participants should consult a medical professional before participating, carry appropriate gear, and follow all event safety guidelines.

External Links

Our website may contain links to external websites operated by event organizers or other third parties. We have no control over the content or practices of these sites and accept no responsibility for them.

Currency and Pricing

Event prices are displayed in both CNY and USD for convenience. USD amounts are approximate conversions and may not reflect the actual amount charged. Always confirm pricing with the event organizer.
