4. Code of Conduct
From our experience of organizing over 30 of these events, we know the importance of having everyone follow rules and that no individual is allowed to ruin the experience or worse compromise the safety of other participants. Here are the most important ones:
- If you miss the deadline, you will be subject to Rs. 500 late fees (surcharge on the entry fees). The bib will be handwritten (and my handwriting is a little too tough to the eyes). We cannot make exceptions to this rule, as this is the single deciding factor if the race starts on time.
- For no-shows or late shows, the payment is non-transferable across races and between participants, as all costs will have been incurred.
- Photography and your result is not opt-outs and will be published online. Event photos will be published on Social Media. Your result will be published along with your nationality and age category. All other other data you provide to us will be kept confidential, unless government authorities ask for the same verbally or in written form.
- Absolutely no form of swearing or yelling (we had this misfortune before). There will be kids around, and we want to make sure nobody is exposed to nasty behavior. If you are not content with the race, you can express your concerns in a civil manner, but no form of swearing, shrieking or rowdy behavior will be tolerated at the slightest.
- Make sure your physician clears you for outdoor activities. Snail Trail welcomes and encourages people with all kinds of fitness level, but you need to be in physical shape to finish the race in within the cut-off times (see Schedule section on the website).
- The trail can be steep, flat, undulating, wide, narrow, slippery, rocky, thorny, sandy, muddy, uneven and can also be on the roads on some parts with some traffic. Please be alert at all times, and follow colored ribbons and spray that match the color of your bib.
- The best way to enjoy the Series is to register/pay on time, show up on time (avoid late fees) and follow the trail markings from start to finish. If you take a wrong turn, check the GPS track that you'd load on your phone before starting the race. Any pace is fine.
- All kids 12 years or below must be accompanied by a guardian. If is the guardians responsibility to make sure the kids are safe on the trails and not push them too hard for a medal. The kids must have proper running/hiking gear, including protection from the sun and rain.
- And finally, there will be music playing. Please do not change the music or volume. We had someone play sleazy songs before.
- Snail Trail is a small, recreational trail race/hike that's widely loved, so let's keep it slow, easy and fun on the trails.

See you all tomorrow on time at Bishnudole Farm House.

Please tag @snailtrailseries on Instagram and Facebook. We will reshare your posts, stories, reels, highlights.. what have you!

Here are a few updates, observations and notes to self:
- Without exception, strictly require signed up and paid guardians for kids 12 y/o or under. We require this for kids' safety and as legality. Make this more clear and prominent on the website. Make a feature to withhold results until kids+guardian's payments are cleared in full. Old bibs are invalidated for the next/new race, and the current startlist with payment status online would be the final list.
- Kids below 12 to be mandatorily accompanied by a signed up and paid guardian.
- Bulk emails got discontinued, in favor of information on the website. All participants showed up on time and at the right place.
- Integrated the admin and management team of Von Kathmandu for race operations
- Efficiency made top priority - in admin, execution, bib distribution and finances
- Earliest pack up time so far of 10:45am (during winter)
- Earliest time for result upload to the website, around 11:30am
- Standardized briefing structure. Briefing to be put on the website as well, along with the waiver
- Added trail coordinator and base coordinator for seamless communication and keeping track of participants and updates
- Changed distances to 10K, 6K and 3K
- Buffer between 10K start and 6K bib collection to be increased to 20mins, instead of 5mins
- Bibs to be put on chest, not on leg because numbers get hidden.
- Individual trail team to specialize in certain fixed tasks, instead of putting them on rotation for better results and performance

Please let us know your thoughts on the event. We will definitely consider your feedback.
