Consent to Participate in Event. I agree to participate in the Girls on the Run® 5k Event as a volunteer/runner/spectator. Physical reactions to exercise may include heat-related illness, abnormal heartbeats and blood pressure and, in rare instances, events such as heart attacks. While Girls on the Run takes all reasonable precautions, we can make no guarantees regarding these and other risks. Recognizing the risks of the 5k event, and in consideration for allowing participation in the 5k event, I hereby release, discharge and agree to hold harmless, and to indemnify each of the Girls on the Run council conducting the Girls on the Run program, Girls on the Run International, Swiftsure Ranch, their owners, directors, affiliates, officers, contributors, sponsors, employees, contractors, agents and assigns against and from any and all causes of action, claims, demands, damages, costs, loss of services, expenses, compensation, all consequential damages and attorneys’ fees (regardless whether pursuant to the laws of any county, state or country) claimed by, through or on behalf of me related directly or indirectly to the 5k race, and specifically including any and all claims for personal injuries sustained while participating in the 5k event without regard to negligence or negligent conditions. While Girls on the Run and Swiftsure Therapeutic Ranch takes all reasonable precautions, we can make no guarantees regarding these and other risks such as contracting known and unknown viruses.

Consent to Medical Treatment. In addition, I hereby authorize Girls on the Run, if after a reasonable attempt has been made to reach a parent, guardian or emergency contact to obtain consent, or if sound medical practice decrees that there is not time to make such an attempt, to consent to any x-ray examination, anesthetic, dental, medical or surgical diagnosis or treatment, and hospital care, to be rendered to me under the general or special supervision and on the advice of any physician or surgeon who may treat me, and consent to any x-ray examination, anesthetic, dental, medical or surgical diagnosis or treatment and hospital care, to be rendered to me by any health care professional who may treat me. I agree to pay for any such treatment and to reimburse Girls on the Run for all costs and expenses it may incur related to such treatment. I will make an effort to social distance myself on the course and event area. When staying six feet apart is not an option, will wear a face covering to avoid the potential spread and contraction of COVID-19 during the event.

Photo Release. I hereby grant Girls on the Run®, its National Title Sponsors, its National Sponsors, Swiftsure Ranch and all assigns, licensees, successors in interest, legal representatives, employees, consultants, and those acting with permission or authority of the aforementioned parties, the absolute, irrevocable and unrestricted right to use photographs, videos likenesses and audio recordings (including without limitation all originals, negatives, prints and transparencies or any duplicates or reproductions of the foregoing) that have been or will be taken of me (collectively, “Images”), in which I may be included with others, to copyright the same, in the name of Girls on the Run or otherwise; to use, re-use, publish and republish the same in whole or in part, individually or in conjunction with other photographs and videos, and in conjunction with any printed matter, in any and all media now and hereafter known, and for any purpose whatsoever; and to use my name in connection herewith.

Release of Liability. I expressly agree that this consent is intended to be as broad and inclusive a release of liability as permitted by applicable law and that if any provision thereof is held invalid, it is agreed that the remaining provisions shall, notwithstanding, continue in full legal force and effect. I hereby represent and warrant that I am 18 years of age or older or, if applicable, that I am the parent or legal guardian of the child under the age of 18 years old who I am registering to volunteer/participate/spectate for the Event and that I have the full power and authority to agree to these terms on behalf of such child, and to bind him/her to these terms. I have carefully read this consent and agree to its terms and conditions, that before signing this agreement I had the chance to ask questions; and I am aware that by signing this consent, I assume all risks and waive and release certain substantial rights that I may have or possess against Girls on the Run council conducting the Girls on the Run program, Girls on the Run International and Swiftsure Ranch. To the extent permitted by applicable law, I hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waive trial by jury in any legal action or proceeding related to this agreement.
