2015 TCS New York City Marathon
Oxfam’s Charity Place Terms & Conditions
The TCS New York City Marathon is an important
fundraising, brand raising and constituency building
event for Oxfam. We need all our Charity Place runners
to raise at least $3,250 over the course of their Marathon
journey.
The following terms and conditions have been written to
ensure Oxfam can support its runners in the best
possible way, while at the same time raise as much as
possible for its work to right the wrongs of poverty,
hunger, and injustice. If you have any questions about
the terms and conditions, please don’t hesitate to email
us: [email protected].
As one of our official Charity Place runners, you can expect the following from Oxfam:
1. Once you have applied for an Oxfam Charity Place, your application will be assessed by
the Oxfam Running Team. You will be informed of the outcome of your application by
telephone or email as soon as possible, but within seven (7) business days. Filling out
the Charity Place application does NOT guarantee you a place.
2. Once you have been offered a place and agree to the fundraising pledge ($3,250), and
create a fundraising page on Crowdrise, Oxfam will reserve one of its 2015 Charity
Places for you. However, Oxfam reserves the right to revoke race places in exceptional
circumstances.
Once you have been offered an entry from Oxfam, you have pledged $3,250 to the
organization and are responsible for donating this amount to the organization. Dropping
out does not relieve you of this responsibility unless Oxfam is able to find another runner
to fill your entry.
3. We will send you a Running Pack with fundraising materials and an Oxfam shirt to wear
on Race Day.
4. We will send you regular support emails to help with your training and fundraising.
5. We will organize cheering points along the race route and provide day-of support to
make sure you have a fantastic race day experience.

As an Oxfam Charity Place runner, you agree to the following:
Registration and fees: Although Oxfam will reserve one of its Charity Places for you, you will
also need to register your details with the race organizers and pay all applicable entry fees.*
This will ensure you receive your running number and race day information. We will let you
know when registration is open.
Failure to register by the deadline – September 17, 2015 – will mean you will not be able to take
part in the race - this is outside of Oxfam’s control. Please note that failure to register by the
deadline does not relieve you of your fundraising responsibilities.
*All charity runners will be charged the race registration fee of:
 $216 for NYRR members
 $255 for non-members
 $347 for non–U.S. residents
All registration fees are subject to an $11 processing charge and must be paid online with a
valid credit card. Credit cards will be charged the full registration fee upon the runner’s
acceptance into the race.
All Oxfam runners are responsible for their own travel and accommodation expenses.
Fundraising: You will pledge to raise at least $3,250 for Oxfam’s work by November 1, 2015.
We will consider fundraising extensions upon request in writing.
Once you have been offered an entry from Oxfam, you have pledged $3,250 to the organization
and are responsible for donating this amount to the organization. Dropping out does not relieve
you of this responsibility unless Oxfam is able to find another runner to fill your entry.
Online fundraising pages: You will use Crowdrise, the official fundraising platform of the TCS
New York City Marathon to collect online donations. As an Oxfam Charity Place runner, you will
agree that 100% of the money raised through your online fundraising page will come to Oxfam
and will not be split with any other charity.
Offline donations: all offline donations must be mailed to Oxfam and will be credited to your
Crowdrise fundraising page. All checks should be made out to Oxfam and your name should be
in the memo line along with “2015 NYC Marathon.”

Interim fundraising deadline: If Oxfam has not received any fundraising from you by June 15,
2015, we reserve the right to remove your details from the TCS New York City Marathon
registration database. This would mean you would not be able to take part in the event.
Existing donations to Oxfam: Any donations you already make to Oxfam cannot be included
in your fundraising total.
Images, video, audio and quotes: Any images, video, audio or quotes we collect from you
during the course of your TCS New York City Marathon journey may be used by Oxfam to
promote future events.
Injury: If you are injured and unable to take part in the event, please let Oxfam know as soon as
possible.
Release: You release and forever discharge Oxfam, its affiliates, and each of their respective
directors, officers, employees, volunteers, and agents from any and all liabilities, claims,
demands, damages, rights, and causes of action of whatever kind, nature, or description,
present or future, asserted by you or on your behalf by any other person, that arise out of or
relate in any way to your registration for or participation in the race. This release will bind you
and your successors, administrators, executors, heirs, and representatives.
