Have i been scammed ?

Bit of a worrying moment, i have a funny feeling about this site
https://marrakechmarathon.com/
Ive just put in my c/card details etc and agreed to pay 50 euro entry, i have received a very unconvincing email saying thanks for paying 55 euro, further searching pulls up what i now believe to be the official site, the above does not show as a partner site as they state.
Anyone with any more skill than me care to take a look ? mayby its just an admin fee or transaction charge but there is no mention on the t+c's, contact is nothing more than an email.
I fear i may have been had !

Look at all the personal info you have just given to these crooks0 -
The scam site is better designed than the real site. And as it doesn't have the hyphen in the domain, it looks more official, and many people will fall for it.
Don't just cancel the transaction alone. Get a new credit card with different expiry date and security number. It'll be a hassle but it has to be done if you don't want to be scammed again.Look at it this way... In a hundred years who's gonna care?0 -
Perhaps it isn't a scam, but just someone who is unofficially making a bit of money on the side. Though why take the chance?0
