2025 Platte River Half Marathon Participant Waiver for Registration

I understand that by registering electronically to participate in the 2025 Platte River Half Marathon (the
“Event”), I accept and agree to this waiver and release agreement (“Agreement”) presented in the online
registration and that this document includes a release of liability and waiver of legal rights that deprive
me of the right to sue certain parties. By agreeing electronically, I acknowledge that I have read and
understand this Agreement presented to me as part of the online registration process.
If the participant is under 18, the parent or legal guardian’s agreement and acceptance of this Agreement
shall have the legal effect that my minor participant (“Minor”) is bound by all terms of this Agreement
and that the parent or legal guardian is releasing and waiving rights on behalf of the Minor all in
consideration of my participation in the Event or the participation of Minor.

I UNDERSTAND THAT I AM REGISTERING FOR THE Event, TO BE HELD ON SUNDAY APRIL 13, 2025. 
No Refunds
I understand that I am not entitled to a refund under any circumstance and by signing this waiver, I
consent that I am not entitled to a refund if the event is cancelled before or during the Event.  If the
Event fully converts to only a Virtual Race (no in-person event), I am also not entitled to a refund or
deferral of my entry to a future year's race.  I understand that is unlawful to run under someone else's
entry and I agree not to transfer my entry.
