● I know that running (or hiking) a trail race is potentially hazardous activity, which could cause injury. I am
familiar with the Grace Ridge Trail and understand this area is only accessible by boat and a
rescue would take many hours and will be very expensive. I agree to pay for all expenses if I am
rescued which may include boats, helicopters, ambulances, and medical personnel. I understand I
will be billed for and am responsible for all costs of my own rescue.

another challenging trail such as: Sadie Knob, Sadie Peak, Alpine Ridge, Goat Rope, Poot Peak,

exemption from the Race Committee. email: kachemakbaymountainclassic@gmail.com
