RELEASE WAIVER – READ BEFORE SIGNING

I would like to enter and participate in the Global Running Day race (the “Race”), hosted by Fleet Feet Tampa Area (collectively, the “Event Director”). I understand that I have the option to participate in this Race virtually or in-person. In consideration of the Released Parties (defined herein) accepting this entry and allowing me to participate in the Race, I, the participant, for myself and my heirs, successors, and assigns, hereby waive, release, and forever discharge, Event Director, RunSignup, Inc., the participating Fleet Feet franchisees or licensees, Fleet Feet, Brooks, Michelob Ultra, Girls on the Run of Greater Tampa Bay, and any other participating vendor partners, and their affiliates, successors and assigns, shareholders, members, partners, officers, directors, managers, agents, employees, representatives, and volunteers and any of their agents assisting with the Race (collectively, the “Released Parties”), from any and all responsibilities or liability arising from injuries or damages to me or my personal property resulting from my participation in the Race. I agree not to file suit or grievance or make any claims against the Released Parties in any local, state, or federal court or administrative office on account of any injuries or damages covered herein.

I acknowledge that Event Director reserves the right to change the details of, and amenities offered at, the Race at any time for any reason, and I hereby waive and release any claims that I may have as a result of any such change.

I know that running a race is a potentially hazardous activity with risk of bodily harm up to and including death. I will not enter and run unless I am medically able to do so and properly trained. I voluntarily assume all risks of injury, death, or damages associated with running in the Race, including, but not limited to falls, contact with other participants, road hazards, vehicles, and the effects of weather, traffic, course conditions, and the other risks typically found in running a virtual or road race. I acknowledge that I know and understand all such risks. I agree to abide by all decisions of any race official relative to my ability to safely run in the Race. I certify as a material condition to my being permitted to run in the Race that I am physically fit and sufficiently trained for the completion of the Race and that a licensed medical doctor has verified my physical condition.

I am aware that the COVID-19 pandemic creates additional risks of participation in the Race. I acknowledge that by participating in the Race, I risk exposure to the novel coronavirus and/or development of COVID-19. I acknowledge that I am voluntarily choosing to participate in the Race and have considered those risks. I expressly and specifically assume such risks associated with the novel coronavirus and/or COVID-19, including any and all risk of injury, harm, or loss that may incur as result of participating in the Race.

By signing this document, I certify that (1) I have not had close contact or cared for someone diagnosed with COVID-19 within the last 14 days and (2) I have not experienced any cold or flu-like symptoms (cough, fever, headaches, muscle aches, rashes) in the last 14 days. I understand and agree that my in-person participation in the Race is a re-certification of the above statements and agree to respond to questions the day of the Race if asked to do so to confirm the accuracy of my health condition. I agree that if any of these statements are not true and accurate as of date of the Race, I cannot and will not participate in-person or be present at the Race. 

I agree that I will follow the rules that the Event Director mandates for participation in the Race, including, but not limited to, rules related to social distancing and provided amenities. 

In the event of an illness, injury, or medical emergency arising during the Race, I hereby authorize and give my consent for Event Director and its designees to secure from any accredited hospital, clinic, and/ or physician any treatment deemed necessary for my immediate care. I agree that I will be fully responsible for payment of any and all medical services and treatment rendered to me, including but not limited to, medical transport, medications, treatment, and hospitalization and agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Released Parties from any liability associated with the treatment or related expenses.

By submitting this entry, I acknowledge on behalf of myself, or the minors for which I am a parent or guardian, that I have read and agreed to the above release and waiver. In addition, if I am a parent or guardian, I accept full responsibility for the care and supervision of my child during the Race.

Further, I grant permission for the Released Parties to use or authorize others to use any photographs, motion pictures, video or sound recordings, and/or other record of my participation in the Race, including my name, picture, likeness, and image, for any legitimate purposes, including results, electronic or print publications, and videographic or electronic records of the Race, without remuneration to me.
