HIGHKEY RUN CLUB
MINOR PARTICIPANT + PARENT/LEGAL GUARDIAN WAIVER, RELEASE OF LIABILITY & ASSUMPTION OF RISK
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE SIGNING.
I am the parent or legal guardian of the minor participant identified on this form. I give permission for the minor participant to participate in activities, runs, walks, workouts, social gatherings, special events, and other activities organized, hosted, promoted, or coordinated by HighKey Run Club (“HKRC”).
1. ASSUMPTION OF RISK
I understand that participation in running, walking, fitness activities, group workouts, social activities, and related events involves inherent and other risks, including but not limited to:
• Falls, slips, trips, and collisions;
• Uneven pavement, sidewalks, roads, trails, curbs, potholes, or other surfaces;
• Vehicle, bicycle, pedestrian, and other traffic;
• Weather conditions, including heat, humidity, rain, storms, and lightning;
• Dehydration, exhaustion, overexertion, muscle strains, sprains, fractures, illness, or other injuries;
• Contact or interactions with other participants, members of the public, animals, equipment, property, or other hazards; and
• Risks associated with participating at restaurants, businesses, parks, parking lots, public roads, private property, and other event locations.
I knowingly and voluntarily permit the minor participant to participate and assume the risks associated with their participation, whether known or reasonably foreseeable.
2. PARENT/GUARDIAN RESPONSIBILITY
I am responsible for determining whether the minor participant is physically capable of participating safely.
I understand that HighKey Run Club does not provide medical advice, medical supervision, childcare, or individualized fitness instruction.
I understand that my permission for the minor to participate does not make HighKey Run Club responsible for supervising the minor. I remain responsible for ensuring appropriate supervision of the minor before, during, and after HighKey Run Club activities.
3. RELEASE AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY
To the fullest extent permitted by Florida law, on behalf of myself and the minor participant, I release and hold harmless HighKey Run Club, its owner(s), organizers, employees, volunteers, representatives, agents, event staff, sponsors, vendors, collaborating businesses, and participating/host venues from claims arising from the minor participant’s voluntary participation in HighKey Run Club activities, including claims arising from ordinary negligence, except to the extent such a release is prohibited by applicable law.
I understand that this release does not waive rights or claims that cannot legally be waived under Florida law.
4. PARTNER VENUES, SPONSORS & THIRD PARTIES
I understand that HighKey Run Club events may take place at or in collaboration with restaurants, businesses, fitness facilities, sponsors, vendors, municipalities, property owners, or other third parties.
I understand that these entities may have their own rules, requirements, or waivers, and I agree that the minor participant will comply with applicable requirements while participating.
5. ROUTES & TRAFFIC
I understand that HighKey Run Club routes may use public sidewalks, roads, crossings, parking lots, trails, or other areas that remain open to vehicles and members of the public.
I understand that roads are not necessarily closed to traffic and that participation in a HighKey Run Club event does not give the minor participant the right of way.
I agree that the minor participant will obey traffic laws, pedestrian signals, posted signs, property rules, and reasonable safety instructions.
6. ALCOHOL
I understand that some HighKey Run Club events may take place at establishments that serve alcoholic beverages.
I understand that the minor participant may not purchase or consume alcohol and must comply with all applicable age restrictions and laws.
7. EMERGENCY MEDICAL CARE
If the minor participant becomes injured or ill during an event, I authorize reasonable emergency assistance to be requested on the minor participant’s behalf when reasonably necessary.
I understand that HighKey Run Club does not guarantee the availability of medical personnel and that I remain responsible for medical expenses incurred as a result of the minor participant’s participation.
8. PHOTO & VIDEO RELEASE
I understand that photographs and videos may be taken during HighKey Run Club events.
I grant HighKey Run Club permission to photograph, record, reproduce, publish, and use images or recordings in which the minor participant may appear for legitimate promotional, social media, marketing, and community purposes without compensation.
9. CONTINUING EFFECT
I understand that this agreement is intended to remain effective for the minor participant’s future HighKey Run Club events and activities unless:
• HighKey Run Club provides a replacement or updated waiver;
• HighKey Run Club informs me that a new signature is required; or
• Applicable law requires a new agreement.
10. PARENT/LEGAL GUARDIAN ACKNOWLEDGMENT
I certify that I am the parent or legal guardian of the minor participant identified on this form and that I have legal authority to provide consent on the minor participant’s behalf.
I acknowledge that I have read and understand this agreement, understand that it affects legal rights, and voluntarily consent to the minor participant’s participation subject to these terms.
