This release applies to claims involving bodily injury, illness, death, or personal property damage occurring in connection with participation in the event, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

This agreement does not release claims that cannot lawfully be waived.

Hope Restored Missions reserves the right to modify, postpone, or cancel the event due to severe weather, public safety concerns, emergencies, governmental directives, or other circumstances beyond its reasonable control.
