RACE WAIVER

I understand that this trail race takes place in the mountains and promise to abide by all the rules, regulations and instructions laid out by the race organization. I also understand that I am responsible for the management of my own health and safety and agree to stop racing and drop out of the race immediately if I feel unwell/sick.

I have sufficient trail running experience and I am aware that this race will be taking place in an outdoor environment where the weather and conditions can quickly change. I am also aware that I will be in an area where there are wild animals (such as bears) and will need to carry a bear bell. I also realize that a racer’s health/condition may rapidly deteriorate during such a race and understand that it may be difficult to obtain immediate emergency assistance when out in the mountains. I am currently in good health condition and do not expect any issues during the race. I have also undergone a medical examination within the past year and have no health issues. I will contact the race organization before the race, in writing, regarding any allergies, medical issues and/or religious issues that the race staff should be aware of in case I require emergency treatment during the race. As such, I will also provide any medical documentation and electrocardiograms if asked to do so by the race.

I understand and accept that the race organization may ask me to stop and drop out of the race if I am not good enough condition to continue racing. I also agree to allow the race to provide me with emergency medical treatment/care in case I am injured or become sick due to an accident or illness during the race.
In such a case, I will not dispute the treatment method or its outcome.

I will not hold the race organization and any related parties liable for any reason whatsoever if I am injured during the race and/or during any events related to the race. I will also not hold the race organization, staff and volunteers liable for subsequent complications for whatever the reason including death.
I understand and agree to the insurance coverage limits for race participants (see below) provided by the race. In addition, I promise that my family, estate/will, trust, heirs nor myself will not make a liability claim, take legal action and/or demand payment including the reimbursement of legal fees.

I will not hold the race organization and any related parties liable or responsible for any changes to the race or the cancellation of the race due to unforeseen and uncontrollable factors. These factors include but are not limited to deteriorating weather, poor/unsafe race conditions and property damage/loss. I also promise not to seek compensation or refunds for costs incurred to participate in the race including race entry fees.

I understand and agree to allow the race organization to use photographs or video images that may include myself, my name, address, age and race experience in its promotional material as well as in other media publications.
