I know that running is a potentially hazardous
activity. I should not enter and run unless I am medically able and properly
trained. I agree to abide by any decision of a race official relative to my
ability to safely complete the run. I hereby certify that I am in good health
and I have trained to run the distance of the race, which I am entering. I
assume all risks associated with running in this event including, but not
limited to: falls, contact with other participants, the effects of weather,
including high heat and/or humidity, traffic and the conditions of the road,
all such risks being known and appreciated by me. Having read this waiver and
knowing these facts and in consideration of your accepting my entry into this
running race, I, for myself and anyone entitled to act on my behalf, waive and
release the Hartford Marathon Foundation, Inc., its officers, directors,
agents, volunteers and employees, all states, cities, counties, the
Metropolitan District Commission or other governmental bodies or locations in
which events or segments of events are held, all sponsors, their
representatives and successors, from all claims or liabilities of any kind
arising out of my participation in this event even though that liability may
arise out of negligence or carelessness on the part of the persons named in
this waiver. I grant permission to all of the foregoing to use any photographs,
motion pictures, recordings, or any other record of this event for any legitimate
purpose. I understand that bicycles, skateboards, roller skates or inline skates
and animals are not allowed in the event and I will abide by this policy. I also understand that baby joggers are
discouraged for the safety of all participants. I am aware that the Foundation strongly
discourages the use of personal audio devices (iPods and MP3 headsets).
I authorize any healthcare provider to release any and all information
pertaining to my healthcare, medical condition and medical treatment as a
result of my participation in this Hartford Marathon Foundation, Inc. event to
the Hartford Marathon Foundation, Inc. and its staff.
