Privacy & Race Terms
What we collect when you register, how we look after it, and the full wording of the three consents you agree to.
Last updated 8 September 2026
The Apa-Agatu Marathon is organised by the Foundation for Apa-Agatu Development (FAAD), a community development foundation working across the Apa-Agatu Federal Constituency of Benue State, Nigeria. FAAD is the organisation responsible for the information you share with us through this website.
Our office address is B1 Grace Court Estate Katampe, FCT Abuja.
We only ask for what we need to run a safe race and keep in touch with you about it.
Your details are used to confirm your place, issue your registration number, allocate your bib and race category, contact you before race day, and keep you safe on the course. Medical information and your emergency contact are shared with our race-day medical team only if you need help.
We may also send you occasional updates about the marathon and other FAAD community initiatives. You can ask us to stop at any time.
Registration is free. We never ask for payment and we never sell your details to anyone.
These are the declarations you tick on the final step of the registration form, set out in full.
You confirm you are medically fit to take part in a 10km road race, that you have told us about any condition that could affect your safety, and that you take part at your own risk. FAAD, its volunteers, medical partners and sponsors are not liable for injury, illness, loss or damage arising from your participation, except where the law does not allow that to be excluded. Our race-day medical team may give you first aid or arrange transport to hospital if they judge it necessary, and marshals may withdraw you from the course on safety grounds.
You give FAAD permission to take photographs and video of you at the event and to use them, without payment, in reporting, social media, partner updates, press coverage and future marathon promotion. We will never use an image in a way that mocks or misrepresents you. If you would rather not appear, tell us in writing before race day or email us afterwards and we will remove the material we control.
You agree that FAAD may hold and process the details on your registration form for organising the marathon, keeping you safe, publishing results, and reporting participation figures to partners and funders. You also agree we may contact you about this event and future FAAD initiatives. You can withdraw this consent for marketing at any time, and your details are handled as described on this page.
Submissions are stored in the Foundation's secure event database and mirrored to a private spreadsheet that only authorised FAAD organisers can open. Confirmation emails are sent from the official marathon mailbox. Access is limited to the small team organising the event and our service providers, who are not permitted to use your details for anything else.
Registration records are kept for up to two years after the event so we can produce results, reports to partners, and invite returning runners. Medical notes are deleted within three months of race day. Anything you ask us to delete is removed unless we are required to keep it for accident or safeguarding records.
You can ask us for a copy of what we hold about you, ask us to correct it, withdraw your media or marketing consent, or ask us to delete your record. Write to us using the details below and we will respond within 30 days. Withdrawing the health or data consent after you have registered means we can no longer keep your place on the start line.
A runner under 18 must give a parent or guardian's name and phone number, and that parent or guardian is taken to have agreed to these terms on the runner's behalf. We contact them, not the runner, on any matter of safety or medical care.
Contact the Foundation for Apa-Agatu Development and we will help.
