Participant Waiver for Race Registration
I know that running [and volunteering for] a road race is 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 attestation, 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 that 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, contact with other participants, the effects of the weather, including high heat and/or storms, traffic and the conditions of the road, all such risks being known and acknowledged by me. I understand that bicycles, skateboards, and roller skates or roller blades are not allowed in the race and I will abide by all race rules. Having read this waiver and knowing these facts and in consideration of my entry being accepted, I, for myself and anyone entitled to act on my behalf, waive and release the volunteers, the Cherry Days Festival, the City of Paonia, and the Paonia Elementary School PPO, all event sponsors, and their representatives and successors from all claims or liabilities of any kind arising out of my participation in this event, even though that liability may arise out of inadvertent negligence or carelessness on the part of the persons named in this waiver. I grant permission to use my photographs, motion pictures, recordings or any other record of this event for any legitimate purpose.
