In consideration of my participation in the Event, I, for myself, my heirs, executors, administrators, personal representatives, successors and assigns, waive any and all rights, claims and causes of action I have or may have against any Race Organizer that may arise as a result of my participation in the Event.

I hereby agree to indemnify all Race Organizers for all claims and losses (including attorney’s fees and court costs) which may be brought against any one or more of them by anyone claiming to have been injured or otherwise to have suffered loss or damage as a result of my participation in the Event. By signing I acknowledge that professional photographers and videographers will be taking pictures and video throughout the event. I hereby grant full permission to the Race Organizers to use my name, likeness, image, voice, and/or appearance as such may be embodied in any pictures, photos, video recordings, audiotapes, digital images, and the like, taken or made on behalf of the Race Organizers. I agree that the Race Organizers have complete ownership of such pictures, etc., including the entire copyright, and may use them for any purpose consistent with the their missions. These uses include, but are not limited to illustrations, bulletins, exhibitions, videotapes, reprints, reproductions, publications, advertisements, and any promotional or educational materials in any medium now known or later developed, including the Internet. I hereby release the Race Organizers and its agents and assigns from any and all claims which arise out of or are in any way connected with such use, and I waive any right to inspect or approve the use of the images or recordings or of any written copy. I acknowledge that I will not receive any compensation for the use of such pictures, etc.
I acknowledge and agree to abide by any Official Rules for the Event that may be posted at the Event or on the Event’s website. I hereby represent and warrant that I am 18 years of age or older or, if applicable, that I am the parent or legal guardian of the child under the age of 18 years old who I am registering for the Event and that I have the full power and authority to agree to these terms on behalf of such child, and to bind him/her to these terms.
