Participant’s Release and Waiver of Liability:

I wish to voluntarily participate in the 100,000 Meter Challenge virtual event (The “Event”) held by Edward Slater of Dallas, TX & Apple Event Services, Inc. DBA Event Southwest, a Texas Corporation, in affiliation with charitable partners, corporate partners, and select individuals (Collectively “The Organizers”) and I understand that giving this waiver and release (“Waiver and Release”) to The Organizers is required to participate in this Event.

I acknowledge that by any act of participating in the Event, I execute this Waiver and Release and consider my participation as my own voluntary act, free from duress and undue influence. I further understand that I am entering this Event at my own risk and assume all responsibility for injuries that I or my children and heirs may incur, and I acknowledge that I am physically capable of participating in and completing this Event. I agree to abide by any decision of an Event official relative to my ability to complete this Event safely and I further agree that the Event officials or volunteers may authorize necessary emergency treatment for me. I acknowledge that I have medical clearance to participate in the Event and that failure to obtain clearance is my sole responsibility prior to and during participation.

I, my heirs, next of kin, spouse, guardians, legal representatives, executors, and administrators hereby release, hold harmless and forever discharge the Event, its Organizers and their parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, trustees, officers, directors, employees, agents, contractors, administrators, sponsors and volunteers from all actions, causes of action, suits, claims, demands, executions, damages, liabilities, losses, costs and expenses of any kind whatsoever (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees) (collectively, “Claims”), whether or not founded in fact or in law or at law or in equity, that undersigned now has, or may have in the future, or that their heirs, executors or administrators hereafter may allege to have against The Organizers or this Event, and all such Claims are hereby released and unconditionally and irrevocably waived.

I acknowledge and agree that neither The Organizers nor this Event assume any responsibility or undertake any duty of care for the health and safety of any participants. I understand that this Event involves strenuous physical activity and will require sound judgment by me at all times during my participation. I understand that by participating, I am at risk to suffer serious physical injury and possibly death. I understand and agree that I, alone, am responsible to determine my physical and mental fitness and my suitability to participate. I acknowledge neither The Organizers nor this Event will attempt to determine, nor will I hold The Organizers or this Event liable to determine, my physical and mental fitness, suitability, or capability to participate either before I begin participation or at any time during my participation in this Event. In consideration for the work performed by The Organizers in promoting and organizing this Event, from which I receive value and benefit, I assume all risks of injury or death related to participation.

I further release The Organizers and this Event, and I waive any claim that I might make against The Organizers and this Event, for any physical injury or death arising out of or relating to my participation in, or during travel related to, this Event. I understand and agree that the effect of signing this Release and Waiver of Liability is to give up all of my legal rights to make any Claims, file any lawsuit or to recover any money damages against The Organizers or this Event for any claim relating to this Event or activities that I participate in during this Event, including any claim for negligence by The Organizers or this Event.

Because my participation in the Event is voluntary, I have agreed to this Release and Waiver of Liability. I have been given the opportunity to read carefully all of the terms of this Release and Waiver of Liability and I understand fully the legal consequences of acknowledging it. I understand that I will not be allowed to participate in this Event unless I acknowledge this Release and Waiver of Liability. I agree to this because I choose to participate in this Event at my own risk, knowing that I have no legal right to seek recovery of damages or otherwise to make any Claim against The Organizers or this Event for any harm or injury, including death, that I may suffer as a result of my participation. I understand and agree that if I am under the care of a physician, have recently been under the care of a physician, or have experienced any significant medical problems, this information should be disclosed and clearance from my physician should be obtained prior to participating in this Event. Individual participants must be 18 years of age or older. Those wishing to participate who are under 18 years of age, must have their registration form and this Release and Waiver of Liability completed by a parent or legal guardian and must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian who is also a registered participant in this Event for the duration of this Event.

It is the specific intent and purpose of this instrument to release and discharge any and all Claims of any kind or nature whatsoever, whether known or unknown and whether specifically mentioned or not, including The Organizer’s or this Event’s negligence or gross negligence or my own negligence, which may exist or might be claimed to exist at or after the date of this instrument and undersigned specifically waives any claim or right to assert that any Claim has been, through oversight or error or intentionally or unintentionally, omitted from this Release and Waiver of Liability. I understand that my photograph may be taken during the event. By signing this Release and Waiver of Liability, I hereby give The Organizers the right to freely use my name, location, and/or photo in any broadcast, telecast or any other account of this Event and/or for The Event’s marketing purposes.
