    Both couples taking part in the challenge outlined in ITEM 5 must be over 18.
    Employees (and their family members) of the Promoter (or any company in the same group) or any company involved in the Competition, including the Prize Provider, are excluded from entering the Competition and their entries will not be considered.
    Subject to them adhering to all the relevant terms and conditions of this competition, x2 teams, consisting of x2 people will be selected from all entries outlined on the dates stated in ITEM 4.
    X1 team will be chosen to represent ‘Team Steve’ x1 team will be chosen to represent ‘Team Karen.’ It is at Bauer Media’s discretion which team represents each presenter. Bauer Media’s decision is final.
    On Monday 5th October at the designated start time the two teams will take part in the competition at: Metro Radio / TFM, 55 Degrees North, Pilgrim Street, Newcastle Upon Tyne, NE1 6BL.
    On Monday 5th October at the designated end time the winner will be determined as those who are furthest away from the designated start point, measured by the rowing machine distance meters.
  • Other entry restrictions are as follows:
    Contestants must be free on the morning of Monday 5th October – for the duration of the competition, and must allow enough time before and after it to allow time to get to and from the station.
    The station will send out a member of staff to collect the participating couples from an agreed address (such as their home address) on the morning of the competition. This will be early enough to allow the couples to arrive at the radio station at around 6am. Transport will be provided by the radio station for this.
    Once the competition has finished, the radio station will pay for / arrange transport for the couples to return home.
    The station will not be liable for any loss or damage to personal possessions. If in doubt, please leave these at home.
    In the event that a couple decides not to take part, then a backup couple will be brought into play. If both couples decide not to take part, two back up couples will be brought into play, and so on until two participating couples are found to take part.
    The couples must be prepared to come on the radio and be used in any subsequent publicity.
    Couples understand that they may be on the radio live at any time and must refrain from swearing.
    The station reserves the right to cancel this competition at any time at its sole discretion due to any unforeseen circumstances without awarding the prize.
    The couples taking part must be physically fit enough to take part – the contest will require continuous strenuous exercise and physical strength / weakness will not be considered an unfair advantage / disadvantage. Entering the competition shows acceptance of this.
    Should there be a tie-break, then the winner will be decided by a mechanic to be decided by the station on the day.
    Anyone who registers to take part with a criminal record will be ineligible to compete and / or win. This includes anyone who registers.
    Couples taking part must sign a disclaimer prior to the competition starting.
