I do hereby fully release and forever discharge the parties from any and all claims for injuries, damages or loss that my minor child/ward or I may have or which may accrue to me or my minor child/ward and arising out of, connected with, or in any way associated with this activity. I further agree that this agreement shall be governed by the State of Ohio. I have read and fully understand the above important information, warning of risk, assumption of risk and waiver and release of all claims.

I may be present with one or more of my pets, and/or my children. I represent that any animal brought to the race is fully vaccinated for rabies and other communicable diseases, and does not have history of aggressive conduct with people or other animals. I agree to keep my animals on a leash or otherwise fully physically restrained and under control at all times.

I understand that this is a fundraising event for the Portage APL, and that there will be no refund of any donation or fee for weather or any other reason.

I understand that the Portage APL cannot guarantee the health or behavior of the other animals participating in this event, or the behavior of the other participants. I also understand the health and safety risks inherent in outdoor activities, the possibility of inclement weather, and the hazards at or near public roads. Therefore, in consideration for being provided the opportunity to participate, I agree that I will hold harmless and indemnify the Portage APL, its directors, agents, volunteers and employees, from any and all losses, claims, actions or proceedings of every kind and character, including claims for negligence and for damages of any kind, including animal bites, damage to property, personal injury or death for myself or my children which may arise directly or indirectly from my presence on the above property or my participation in said activities.
