Participant Waiver for Race Registration
I know that running a cross country race is a potentially hazardous activity, which could cause injury or death. I will not enter and participate unless I am medically able and properly trained, and by my signature, I certify that I am medically able to perform this event, and am in good health, and I am properly trained. I agree to abide by any decision of a race official relative to any aspect of my participation in this event, including the right of any official to deny or suspend my participation for any reason whatsoever. I attest I have read the rules of the race and agree to abide by them. I assume all risks associated with running in this event, including but not limited to: falls, physical contact with other participants, volunteers, race personnel, contract service providers, employees, and spectators including the potential contraction of a communicable disease resulting from contact with other participants, volunteers, race personnel, contract service providers, employees, and spectators. I assume all risks including the effects of weather, high heat and/or humidty, freezing cold temperatures, traffic and conditions of the course including surrounding terrain.
I understand that bicycles, skateboards, baby joggers/strollers, roller skates or inline skates and animals are not allowed in the race, and I will abide by all rules. The use of personal music devices with headphones is strongly discouraged. If you choose to use headphones you do so at your own risk and must meet the following requirements: you must be able to hear traffic, be aware of sounds around you and be able to hear instructions from course officials when speaking at a reasonable tone.
Having read this waiver and knowing these facts and in consideration of you accepting my entry, I, for myself and anyone entitiled to act on my behalf, waive and release the Mayo Cross Country Open 5k, the city of Rochester, Minnesota, County of Olmsted, Rochester Running Club and the Road Runners Club of America, all event sponsors, their representatives and successors from all claims or liabilities that may arise out of negligence or carelessness on the part of persons named in this waiver. .
I grant the permission to all of the foregoing to use my photographs, motion pictures, recordings or any other record of this event for any legitimate purposes.
