By registering, participants fully and without exception accept the following rules. Every participant or visitor of the event must submit to the general terms of participation and rules of the organiser and the event (hereinafter jointly referred to as the “rules”) and observe and comply with them without exception. Participation is not possible without accepting these rules. Eligible to take part are independent riders who, at the time of registration:
- are at least 16 years old, or
- are at least 12 years old and accompanied by an adult.
Younger children may ride in a trailer, cargo bike, child seat or on a tag-along bike at the risk of the accompanying adult. Every participant must register online.
Registration for the «Klausen Monument» event takes place online at www.klausen-monument.ch. Registrations by phone, fax or e-mail will not be processed. Participation in Klausen Monument is free of charge. However, voluntary financial support to secure the event in the long term is very welcome and can be made here.
Participation in the Klausen Monument event is at the participants' own risk. The «Klausen Monument» event is only suitable for well-trained and experienced cyclists. Both the climb and the descent are demanding. Every participant is responsible for their own health and fitness. Every participant is aware that taking part involves risks and, in extreme cases, may result in damage to health, physical injury, permanent disability or death. Every participant who is involved in, causes or witnesses an accident is obliged to provide assistance, such as taking safety precautions, giving first aid and alerting the emergency services. The emergency number can be found on the safety boards at the start or in the safety notice (online at registration). The organiser has the right at any time to refuse participation in the «Klausen Monument» event to any person at its own discretion and without giving reasons.
Insurance is the responsibility of the participants. Participants are responsible for ensuring that they are insured in such a way that any risks and/or accidents are covered by their insurance. The organiser and its cooperation partners decline all liability. By registering, participants confirm that they are sufficiently insured to cover any costs of medical treatment, first aid, transport, repatriation, hospital stays, etc. Participants assume full responsibility and liability for all costs arising in connection with training and/or participation in the event, including ambulance transport, hospital stays, medical care and treatment, and medical and pharmaceutical services.
Any technically sound bicycle or e-bike, with or without a trailer, is permitted. Participation with standard children's bikes, recumbents, handbikes and the like is at your own risk.
The bicycle must be well maintained and comply with the Swiss legal requirements for road vehicles (VTS). (See https://www.pro-velo.ch/de/themen/das-velo/velo-ausruestung.) The brakes in particular must be in perfect condition. When taking part with an e-bike, participants are themselves responsible for sufficient battery power. Any technical problems and battery changes are the participant's responsibility. Wearing a helmet that meets at least the EN1078 standard is mandatory.
Even though the road is closed, the Swiss Road Traffic Act applies, and oncoming traffic (bicycles, emergency vehicles, residents, agriculture, restaurants, etc.) must be expected at all times. Participants must observe the Swiss traffic rules at all times. Keep to the right; the safety line must not be crossed. Stop only at a place with good visibility and at the right-hand edge of the road. The instructions of the safety staff must be followed. Always treat all helpers and participants with respect. It is forbidden to throw waste of any kind (paper, plastic packaging, etc.) onto the road or into nature. Waste may only be disposed of in the containers provided.
The route may only be used with a valid registration.
The organiser is not obliged to pay compensation to participants if, in cases of force majeure, due to official orders or for safety reasons, it has to change the event or cancel it entirely. Liability for property damage and financial loss caused by slight or moderate negligence is excluded. This does not apply to damage resulting from a culpable breach of a primary contractual obligation of the organiser, or to personal injury. The exclusion/limitation of liability also applies to all vicarious agents of the organiser and any other third parties engaged by the organiser in connection with the event. Every participant is personally responsible for adequate training and a sports medical fitness check. Every participant agrees that they may be excluded from the event if they risk harming their health. The organiser is not liable for lost valuables or belongings. Any further liability is excluded.
By taking part in the «Klausen Monument» event, participants consent to the use of their name, images or voice for publications, websites, media reports, videos, webcasts and other PR purposes in connection with the “Klausen Monument” event (organiser, sponsors and partners).
By registering, every participant expressly confirms that the data they provide is correct. The personal data provided at registration is stored and is subject to Swiss data protection law. By registering, participants also consent to the processing of their data for the purpose of organising and running the event, including medical care of participants on the route. This consent also applies to the local event partners of the Klausen Monument association. By registering, participants consent to the storage and disclosure of this data solely for these purposes.
