Minors under 18 must be accompanied during the event by a parent or legal guardian who is also a registered participant. AGREEMENT: I understand that all donations processed by the Livestrong donation office are non-refundable and non-transferable, even if I do not participate in the event. I also understand that the registration fee is non-refundable, non-transferable, and not tax-deductible.

I am also aware that accidents may occur during this event which could result in serious injury or death. I am voluntarily participating in this event with knowledge of all such risks. In consideration of the acceptance of this registration entry, I assume full and complete responsibility for any injury or accident which may occur during my participation in any Livestrong event, and I hereby release, indemnify and hold harmless the Livestrong Foundation, event production partner of the Livestrong events, and its affiliates, the sponsors, promoters and all Livestrong Foundation employees and other persons and entities associated with this event (all individually and collectively known as "releasees"), from any and
all claims, losses, injuries, and liabilities, or damages (collectively, "Damages") that I have or may have in the future based upon any acts or omissions, whether known or unknown, relating to, arising out of, or in connection with, the Livestrong event, WHETHER SUCH DAMAGES, BE
CAUSED BY MYSELF OR BY THE NEGLIGENCE, OF ANY DEGREE, OF THE LIVESTRONG FOUNDATION, THE SPONSORS, OR PROMOTERS, OR OTHER PERSONS OR ENTITIES ASSOCIATED WITH THIS EVENT. This agreement may not be modified orally or in writing by any individual.
I further understand and acknowledge that competing in a marathon involves inherent dangers that no amount of care, caution, instruction, or expertise can eliminate, and I am participating in the Livestrong event at my own risk. I intend by the Waiver and Release of Liability to release in advance, and to waive my rights and to discharge all of the releasees (as defined above), from all claims, losses, or liabilities for death, bodily injury or property damage that I may have, or which may hereafter accrue to me, as a result of my participation in this event, EVEN THOUGH THAT LIABILITY MAY ARISE FROM NEGLIGENCE OR CARELESSNESS ON THE PART OF THE

I understand and agree that this Waiver and Release of Liability is binding on my heirs, assigns, and legal representatives. I am physically capable of completing this event.
I understand that I may be asked to provide a doctor's note or other proof that I am permitted to participate by my primary health care provider. If I am aware of or under treatment for any physical infirmity, ailment, or illness, my medical care provider knows of and has approved my participation in this event. I will maintain personal health insurance while participating in the event. I acknowledge that I, and I alone, am solely responsible for my personal health and safety, and the personal property I bring with me. I will read the event description and rules for participation in the event, and I will abide by all rules and regulations established by the event organizers and personnel as well as the local vehicle code. I consent to treatment in the event of an emergency or other incident in which, in the reasonable judgment of the on-site personnel, I
require medical care.
I understand that my name, photograph, voice, or likeness may be used for all promotional purposes related to the event by Livestrong, Livestrong Events, High Five Events, and their sponsors, beneficiaries, licensees, affiliates, and employees.

I also, for myself and on behalf of my heirs, estate, insurers, successors, and assigns, hereby release, indemnify and hold harmless the releasees (defined above), with respect to any and all claims or causes of action I may have for damages for personal or bodily injury, disability, death, loss or damage to person or property, WHETHER ARISING FROM THE NEGLIGENCE OF ANY OR ALL OF THE RELEASEES OR OTHERWISE, WHETHER OR NOT NEGLIGENCE HAS BEEN PROVEN, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
