Acknowledgement of Inherent Hazards and Risks
I know that running or walking poses inherent risks and hazardous activity and may represent an extreme test of a person’s physical and mental limits. I should not enter the Event and run/jog/walk or otherwise participate unless I am medically able to do so and properly trained. I understand and acknowledge the risks and dangers and assume all risks associated with participating in this event including, but not limited to: the potential for serious bodily injury, sickness and disease, permanent disability, paralysis, and loss of life; the loss of or damage to equipment/property; the exposure to extreme conditions and circumstances including but not limited to the weather; falls; contact with other participants, spectators, animals, or other natural or manmade objects; imperfect course, trail, or track conditions; the dangers of running at night, in the dark, in poor lighting; in, near, or around vehicle traffic; due to land, water, and surface hazards in the area in which I choose to participate; inadequate safety measures taken by me; the use of electronic devices during participation such as, but not limited to, a phone, smartphone, any music playing device, headphones, ear buds, or the like; situations beyond the immediate control of the Event Direct and Organizers; and other undefined, not readily foreseeable and presently unknown risks and dangers.
