Event waiver
• I understand that I should not compete in this event unless I have trained appropriately and had any health concerns checked by a medical practitioner.

conditions and other causes.
• By competing, I accept all risks necessarily flowing from my participation, which could result in loss of life or permanent injury.

This release and indemnity continues forever and binds my heirs executors, personal representative and assigns.
