RISK AGREEMENT
FOR PARTICIPANTS AND VOLUNTEERS
In consideration of being allowed
to participate in the Viking Invasion (the “Event”), whether as a volunteer or
a runner or walker, I agree to the following:
1. I acknowledge that running is an inherently dangerous
sport and that there are dangers to participating in the Event, whether as a
runner, walker, official, coach, volunteer, spectator, or otherwise. In connection with my or my child/ward’s
participation in the Event, I fully assume the risks associated with such
participation, including, without limitation, dangers caused by terrain,
facilities, temperature, weather, the actions of other participants (including
without limitation those who are spectators), falls, traffic, and road
conditions.
2. I certify that I or my child/ward am/is physically fit
and in good health. I agree to abide by
the decision of an Event official as to any aspect of my or my child/ward’s
participation in the Event, including the right of such Event official to deny
or suspend my or my child/ward’s participation for any reason whatsoever.
3. I hereby consent for me or my child/ward to receive any
emergency medical treatment which may be deemed necessary in the event of
illness, accident, or injury during the Event.
4. I understand that I or my child/ward may appear in
photographs or video footage taken during the Event. I agree to allow my or my child’s/ward’s likeness

5. I understand that the Event sponsors and organizers do not
provide insurance coverage for any injuries which may occur during the Event,
and acknowledge that I am responsible for any and all costs relating to any
such injuries to me or my child/ward.
6. I understand that the Event organizer owns and operates a
Christian school, and as such, intends to represent Christian values in all
matters associated with the Event. If an
Event official deems any activity by me or my child/ward to be inappropriate
and in conflict with Christian values, as determined by the Event official in
his/her sole discretion, I understand that I or my child/ward may be asked to
leave the Event immediately and I understand that I will forfeit all entry fees
paid to participate in the Event.

of me or my child/ward being allowed to participate in the Event, whether as a

(A) waive, release, discharge and promise not to sue Lakeland CHRISTIAN SCHOOL,
Inc., its parent, subsidiary, or affiliated companies, its officers, directors,

participation in the Event or any activities related to or associated with the

of Florida, and the exclusive venue for any legal action related to or arising
out of this Agreement shall be vested in the Circuit Court in and for Polk
County, Florida.

unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provisions shall be
deemed severable from this Agreement and shall not affect the enforcement or
validity of any of the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
10. I certify that (A) I have reached the age of majority and
am under no legal disability which would prevent me from executing this
