GIRLS ON THE RUN 5K EVENT WAIVER

Consent: I hereby 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 such as contracting known and unknown viruses. 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 and Girls on the Run International, 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 event, and specifically including any and all claims for personal injuries sustained while participating in the 5k event without regard to negligence or negligent conditions.

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.

Photo Release: I hereby grant Girls on the Run®, its National Title Sponsors, its National Sponsors, 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 hereby release and agree to hold harmless Girls on the Run and all aforementioned entities, from any damages or liability relating to or arising from any use of or modification, alteration, distortion or other change to any of the Images and/or information gathered, unless it can be proven that such reproduction were maliciously caused, produced and published for the sole purpose of subjecting me to conspicuous ridicule, scandal, reproach, scorn and indignity. I hereby waive any claims I may have based on any usage of the Images, information gathered, or works derived thereof, including but not limited to claims for either invasion of privacy or libel.

From time to time, Girls on the Run sponsors may provide products or offer services to participants. I understand that I may receive products or service offerings from sponsors of Girls on the Run, and consent to their provision and my receipt thereof.

Weather and Emergency Cancellation Policy. In the event that the 5K Celebration is canceled due to severe weather or another emergency, it will not be rescheduled and no refunds will be given for this event.

Force Majeure. The performance of this event is subject to termination without liability upon the occurrence of any circumstance beyond the control of either party – such as acts of God, war, acts of terrorism, strikes, civil disorder, curtailment of transportation facilities, any natural disaster, unsafe weather, pandemic, fire, explosion, an act of government, or governmental agency, or other contingency beyond the reasonable control of any party hereto which prevents the fulfillment of the parties obligations. The ability to terminate this event without liability pursuant to this paragraph is conditioned upon the delivery of notice to the other party setting forth the basis for such termination as soon as reasonably practical. No refund will be provided for any fees paid for this event.

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 warrant and represent that I am 18 years old or older or have my parents’ consent if I am a junior coach; 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 and Girls on the Run International. 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.
