ASSUMPTION OF RISK AND RELEASE OF LIABILITY

 

NOTICE: This release form is a contract with legal consequences.  Read it carefully before signing.

 

I hereby freely and voluntarily agree to the following representations, waivers and agreements.

 

I also agree, for myself and successors, that the above representations are not mere recitals and that they are binding; and that should I or my successors assert any claim in contravention of this agreement, I or my successors shall be liable for the expensed (including legal fees) incurred by the other party or parties in defending against such a claim unless they are found liable for willful and wanton negligence.  This document contains the entire agreement between the parties and if any term of provision of this agreement is found invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms and provisions of this agreement shall remain binding and enforceable.

I know and understand that Wolfpak is a running and overall training and fitness club and that the sports of fitness are action sports that combine the individual sports of Swimming, Bicycling and Running, each of which independently, or in any combination with other sports do carry significant risks of serious personal injury, death and property damage.  I also know and understand that while participating in and/or training for these sports, I am exposed to many natural, mechanical and environmental conditions and risks which independently or in any combination with my activities of others may cause property damage or bodily injury including severe or fatal injuries to myself or others.

 

I agree that I alone am responsible for: (a) my proper preparation and safety while participating in any organized Wolfpak race, training session, event or other Club activity; (b) providing, utilizing and maintaining the equipment necessary for the safe enjoyment of my participation in any such Club event; and, (c) wearing a properly functioning SNELL or ANSI Approved helmet while participating in any Wolfpak event which includes bicycling, regardless of form (i.e. road or mountain riding).  I also represent that I have no physical or medical condition, which in my knowledge would endanger others, or myself while I participate in these sports or activities.

 

Being fully aware of the risks, conditions and hazards associated with these sports, I HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE that Wolfpak, its directors, founders, members, sponsors, agents and any other club-affiliated individuals and/or entities are not in any way responsible for my safety while participating in any Wolfpak organized race, training session, event or other Club activity and I FURTHER AGREE TO WAIVE, RELEASE AND DISCHARGE for myself, my heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, assignees and successors an interest (hereinafter “successors”) in any and all claims of damages for death, personal injury or property damage which I may have or which may hereafter accrue to me as a result of my participation in any Wolfpak event, against any person or entity identified above, whether such injury or damage was the result of negligence or carelessness on the part of the persons or entities mentioned above, and whether such injury or damage was foreseeable or not, including all such claims regarding the design, condition of any equipment utilized by me in such events without regard to whether such equipment is specified or recommended by such persons or entities identified above.

 


 

 

I further agree to forever HOLD HARMLESS and INDEMNIFY all persons and entities identified above, general specifically from any and all liability for death, personal injury or property damage resulting in any way from my participating in Wolfpak events of any kind.

 

I acknowledge that I am 18 years of age or older, and that I have read and understand the contents of this document.
