RELEASE OF LIABILITY

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 City of Belleville, Eckert's Farm, 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 participating in a bicycle ride event is a potentially hazardous activity. I should not enter and participate unless I am medically able to do so and properly trained. I assume all risks associated with participating 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 participating in an event. I acknowledge all such risks are known and understood by me. I agree to abide by all decisions of any course official relative to my ability to safely complete the event. 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.

Further, I grant permission to all the foregoing to use my name, voice and images of myself in any photographs, motion pictures, results, publications or any other print, videographic or electronic recording of this event for legitimate purposes.

All entry fees are non-refundable. We reserve the right to postpone or cancel the event due to circumstances beyond our control such as a natural disaster or emergency or as required to protect the safety of participants and staff. No refunds will be issued under these circumstances. We reserve the right to change the details of the event without prior notice. I understand that my entry fee is nonrefundable and non transferable.

By submitting this entry, I acknowledge (or a parent or adult guardian for all children under 18 years) having read and agreed to the above release and waiver including the no refund policy.

I realize that there are dangers in outdoor activities and that mortal or serious personal damage and property damage may occur. I assume full responsibility for the risk of personal injury, death, and property damage due to the negligence or carelessness of the parties released by this document. On my own behalf and on behalf of my heirs, personal representatives and assigns, I hereby release the City of Belleville, Eckert's Farm, all advertisers of this event, and all of their officers, directors, employees, and volunteers ("the released parties") for all claims, or rights to claim compensation for any loss or injury which I may sustain as a results of negligence, carelessness, or any cause whatsoever, whether loss or injury occurs while participating in, going to, or coming from such activity. Further, I agree to indemnify and hold the parties released by this document harmless from any such claims or demands. I expressly agree that this release and indemnity agreement is intended to be as broad and inclusive as permitted by the last of the State of Illinois and of any other state in which such activities may occur, and that if any portion hereof is held invalid, the remainder shall continue in full force and effect. I agree to follow all the laws of the road which apply to cars and bicycles. I agree to wear a bicycle helmet during this event.
