In consideration of the opportunity to participate in Kalamazoo Area Runners (KAR) activities whose registration process requires me to accept this agreement, I hereby agree to the following Waiver and Release of Liability (Agreement): My participation in KAR activities is voluntary and subjects me to the possibility of physical injury (which could be minimal, serious, and/or result in death) and loss of or damage to my property (collectively, Risks). Accordingly, I agree to the following: I hereby release and hold harmless the following parties (collectively, Releasees): KAR, its sponsors, partners, facilities owners/lessees/lessors, members, officers, directors, employees, agents, volunteers, and contractors, directors, group leaders (if any), with respect to any liability, claim(s), demand(s), cause(s) of action, damage(s), loss or expense (including court costs and reasonable attorneys fees) of any kind or nature (“Liability”) which may arise out of, result from, or relate in any way to my participation in KAR activities, including claims for Liability caused in whole or in part by the negligent acts or omissions of the Releasee. I further agree that if, despite this Agreement, I, or anyone on my behalf, makes a claim for Liability against any of the Releasees, I will indemnify, defend and hold harmless each of the Releasees from any such Liabilities which may be incurred as the result of any claim, demand, loss, liability, damages, and attorney fees and costs whatsoever arising from, related to, or resulting from these risks (Claims), including those caused by the negligent acts or omissions of any or all of the Releasees. I further acknowledge and agree that that running in and volunteering for organized group runs, social events, and races with this club are potentially hazardous activities, which could cause injury or death. I will not participate in any club organized events, group training runs or social events, unless I am medically able and properly trained, and by my signature, I certify that I am medically able to perform all activities associated with the club and am in good health, and I am properly trained. As between each of the Releasees and me, I will be solely responsible for any and all medical and related bills that I may incur because of any injury, as well as costs related to loss or damage to my property, that I may sustain as a result of my participation in KAR activities, including those sustained on the premises where the Event is conducted and while I am traveling to and from such premises, regardless of the location or mode of transportation. This Agreement shall be binding on my estate, heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns, as well as any other party asserting a Claim on my behalf or on behalf of my estate. I also authorize the Kalamazoo Area Runners utilize any photographs and/or video recordings of my participation in any Kalamazoo Area Runners Event, Program or Group Run for any and all purposes. I warrant that I have read and understand that this Agreement involves my waiver and release of significant rights and my assumption of significant indemnification responsibilities in participating in KAR activities.
