In consideration of you accepting this entry, I, the participant, intending to be legally bound do hereby waive and forever release any and all rights and claims for damages or injuries that I may have against the Event Director, RunSignup.com,  The Gatorade Company, PepsiCo, Inc, and all of their agents assisting with the event, sponsors and their representatives, volunteers and employees for any and all injuries to me or my personal property. This release includes all injuries and/or damages suffered by me before, during or after the event. I recognize, intend and understand that this release is binding on my heirs, executors, administrators, or assignees.

I know that running a road race is a potentially hazardous activity. I should not enter and run unless I am medically able to do so and properly trained. I assume all risks associated with running in this event including, but not limited to: falls, contact with other participants, the effects of weather, traffic, and course conditions, and waive any and all claims which I might have based on any of those and other risks typically found in running a road race. I acknowledge all such risks are known and understood by me. I agree to abide by all decisions of any race official relative to my ability to safely complete the run. I certify as a material condition to my being permitted to enter this race that I am physically fit and sufficiently trained for the completion of this event and that a licensed Medical Doctor has verified my physical condition.

In the event of an illness, injury or medical emergency arising during the event I hereby authorize and give my consent to the Event Director 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.

Thayer (the Photographer)/Focal Flame Photography LLC, and any other photographers contracted by Focal Flame Photography, as well as Photographer’s assigns, licensees, successors in interest, legal representatives, and heirs the irrevocable right to use and to license my photograph in all forms and in all media and in all manners, without any restriction as to changes or alterations for any uses including but not limited to advertising, trade, promotion, and marketing, or any other lawful purposes. I waive any right to inspect or approve the photograph(s) or finished version(s) incorporating the photograph(s). I hereby release and agree to hold harmless the Photographer, his or her assigns, licensees, successors in interest, legal representatives and heirs from any liability by virtue of any blurring, distortion, alteration, or use in composite form. I agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Photographer against any losses or lawsuits that might arise from any aspect of the shoot. I agree that the Photographer owns the copyright in these photographs and I hereby waive any claims I may have based on any usage of the photographs or works derived therefrom, including but not limited to claims for either invasion of privacy or libel. I acknowledge and agree that I have no further right to additional consideration, and that I will make no further claim for any reason to the Photographer and his assigns, licensees, successors in interest, legal representatives, and heirs. I agree that this release is irrevocable, worldwide and perpetual. I have read this release and am fully familiar with its contents. I further understand that after the event, I will receive e-mail notification that photographs are available online for viewing if I have provided my e-mail address to event organizers. I understand that I may unsubscribe from e-mail notification at any time.
