In consideration of the individual named below (“I”, “me”, “my”) being permitted to participate
in the 2024 Brandberg Backyard Ultra World Team Championships (the “Event”) by Event organizers and any affiliated individuals or entities associated with the Event (the “Releasees”) I agree to all the terms and conditions set forth in this agreement.
I know that running a race is a potentially hazardous activity. I assert that I am in good physical condition and properly trained, and am a voluntary participant in the Event.
I understand that the Event includes both paved and unpaved sections with hazards that may include uneven surfaces; broken pavement; tree roots; loose rocks, wild and/or domestic animals etc. I understand the Event occurs during both day and night hours and entails running in the dark. I will bring and use all necessary clothing and gear to both see and be seen, (reflective clothing, headlamp, extra batteries, etc.), or will not be allowed to continue in the dark. I recognize that running, especially at a high intensity, or for long distances, may depress my immune system making me more susceptible to illness in general. I know that if I choose to participate in the Event, I may be at greater risk of getting sick.
I AM AWARE AND UNDERSTAND THAT THE EVENT INVOLVES CERTAIN RISKS, DANGERS, AND HAZARDS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY, DEATH OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. I ASSUME FULL AND COMPLETE RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY INJURY OR ACCIDENT WHICH MAY OCCUR DUE TO PARTICIPATION IN THE EVENT. I HEREBY WAIVE AND RELEASE THE RELEASEES FROM ANY LIABILITY OR CLAIMS OF ANY KIND ARISING OUT OF MY PARTICIPATION IN THE EVENT.
I agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Releasees against any and all losses, damages, claims, costs, or expenses of any kind, including reasonable legal fees, in connection with any third-party suit or action arising out of the Event.
I grant permission for the Event to use my name, photographs, or recordings of this Event for any legitimate purpose. I grant permission to the director of the Event to remove me from the Event at any time solely at their discretion.
