SPORTSMANSHIP AND CODE OF CONDUCT PLEDGE

I acknowledge Gallatin Skijor has a zero-tolerance policy for unsportsmanlike conduct and any form of misbehavior that compromises the integrity of the event and organization. As a participant of this race, I pledge to maintain a high standard of sportsmanship and respect for The Gallatin Skijor Invitational, race volunteers and organizers, fans and spectators, and my fellow competitors. I recognize unsportsmanlike behavior while competing is grounds for disqualification, and further, I recognize that failure to treat the Race and its volunteers with respect is also grounds for disqualification.

I acknowledge that the Gallatin Skijor officials may disqualify any person or team they deem is acting in an unsportsmanlike manner at any time, including, but not limited to, registration, Calcutta, and awards ceremonies. If I am disqualified, I understand and agree that I will surrender my entry fees as well as forfeit event and Calcutta winnings.
