Every participant assumes and undertakes full responsibility regarding any physical issue and their ability to participate in the race under any weather conditions.
The Organizers have no responsibility in case of any physical, material, or moral damage that may occur by any cause, before, during, or after the road race run to participants, spectators, or other party involved in the race, while all race participants waive unconditionally any claims against the Organizers.
In case of medical treatment needed during the race, all participants authorize the Organizers to undertake any measures or actions needed, including hospital admittance, if it is rendered necessary for their safety.
Also, all participants consent to the use of their images, likeness, name, voice and words including whatever editing, cutting, or application of directorial, graphic, or other type of effect, on the television, radio, films, newspapers, magazines, internet, social media and other media of any kind, aiming to promote the run and its aims as well as the public benefit activities of the Organizers, and waive any claims against the Organizers.

Participants should follow the instructions of the Organizers before, during and after the race. Any breach or non-compliance with the instructions and rules of the run will result in disqualification of the participant.
Payment of the participation fee is mandatory for all runners. The money raised by the runners will not be used to cover the productions costs of the SNF Run: First Run, which are fully covered by SNF, but will be donated to the nonprofit organization selected by the Organizers in support of their charitable activities.
The safety of runners and spectators is the highest priority of the Organizers. For this purpose, the Organizers are in close collaboration with the Hellenic Police, the Traffic Directorate of Attica, the involved Municipalities, the Hellenic Fire Service, the National Center for Emergency Assistance (EKAB) and the 1st Department of Orthopaedic Surgery Clinic of the National Kapodistrian University of Athens in an effort to enhance the safety and smooth operation of the run.
