For and in consideration of USA Track & Field, Inc., its affiliates, members, member clubs, associations, sport
disciplines and divisions (“USATF”) allowing me, the undersigned, to participate in the RunJumpThrow event
referenced below (the “Event” or “Events”); I, for myself, and on behalf of my spouse, children, guardians, heirs
and next of kin, and any legal and personal representatives, executors, administrators, successors and assigns,
hereby agree to and make the following contractual representations pursuant to this Waiver and Release of
Liability, Assumption of Risk and Indemnity Agreement (the “Agreement”).
1. I hereby represent that I am in good health and in proper physical condition to participate in the Event. I
agree that it is my sole responsibility to determine whether I am sufficiently fit and healthy enough to
participate in the Event, that I am responsible for my own safety and well-being at all times and under all
circumstances while at the Event site.
2. I understand and acknowledge that participation in track & field, road running, race walking, cross country,
mountain, ultra, and trail running Events is inherently dangerous and represents an extreme test of a person’s
physical and mental limits. I understand and acknowledge the risks and dangers associated with participation in
the Event and sport of track & field and related activities, including without limitation, the potential for serious
bodily injury, sickness and disease, permanent disability, paralysis and loss of life; loss of or damage to
equipment/property; exposure to extreme conditions and circumstances; contact with other participants,
spectators, animals or other natural or manmade objects; dangers arising from adverse weather conditions;
imperfect course or track conditions; land, water and surface hazards; equipment failure; inadequate
safety measures; participants of varying skill levels; situations beyond the immediate control of the Event
Organizers (as defined below); and other undefined, not readily foreseeable and presently unknown risks and
dangers (“Risks”). I understand that these Risks may be caused in whole or in part by my own actions or
inactions, the actions or inactions of others participating in the Event, or the negligent acts or omissions of the
Released Parties defined below, and I hereby expressly assume all such Risks and responsibility for any damages,
liabilities, losses or expenses which I incur as a result of my participation in any Event.
3. I agree to be familiar with and to abide by all the rules and regulations established for the Event, including
but not limited to any Competition Rules adopted by USATF, any anti-doping rules as established by the
appropriate entity, and any safety regulations established for the benefit of all participants. I accept sole
responsibility for my own conduct and actions while participating in the Event, and the condition and adequacy
of my equipment.
4. I hereby Release, Waive and Covenant Not to Sue, and further agree to Indemnify, Defend and Hold Harmless
USATF, and, if applicable, the following parties: United States Olympic Committee (USOC); the event directors,
organizers and promoters, sponsors, advertisers, coaches and officials; the local organizing committee and
the facility, venue and property owners or operators upon which the Event takes place; law enforcement agencies
and other public entities providing support for the Event; and each of their respective parent, subsidiary and
affiliated companies, officers, directors, partners, shareholders, members, agents, employees and volunteers
(Individually and Collectively, the “Released Parties” or “Event Organizers”), 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 the Event, including claims for Liability caused in whole or in part by the negligent acts or
omissions of the Released Parties. I further agree that if, despite this Agreement, I, or anyone on my behalf,
makes a claim for Liability against any of the Released Parties, I will indemnify, defend and hold harmless each
of the Released Parties from any such Liabilities which any may be incurred as the result of such claim.
5. I hereby warrant that I (or my parent, natural guardian, or legal guardian, if I am under the age of 18) am of
legal age and competent to enter into this Agreement, that I have read this Agreement carefully, understand its
terms and conditions, acknowledge that I will be giving up substantial legal rights by accepting it (including the
rights of my spouse, children, guardians, heirs and next of kin, and any legal and personal representatives,
executors, administrators, successors and assigns), acknowledge that I have accepted this Agreement without any
inducement, assurance or guarantee, and intend for my acceptance to serve as confirmation of my complete and
unconditional acceptance of the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement. This Agreement represents
the complete understanding between the parties regarding these issues and no oral representations, statements or
inducements have been made apart from this Agreement. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be
unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from this
Agreement and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.
6. As a condition of my participation in the Event, I hereby grant USA Track & Field, Inc. a limited license to
use my name, likeness, image, photograph, voice, video, athletic performance, biographical and other
information (collectively, "Likeness"), in any media platform or format whatsoever, and to distribute, broadcast
and exhibit these without charge, restriction or liability, but only for the purposes of advertising or promoting
Event, USATF, or the sport of Athletics. The foregoing grant, however, does not constitute consent for USATF
or any third party to use my Likeness in an endorsement of any product or service without my specific written
consent.
7. I certify that the birth date and age information provided in my member profile and confirmed at the beginning
of the entry process is true and accurate.
