The Brooktondale Community Center welcomes you to the Easy as Pie 5K (“the Event”). To participate in the Event, you must agree that you understand the risks involved, would be considered physically capable and properly trained by a certified coach, and will follow all decisions by race officials.
Risks & Hazards
I acknowledge and assume all risks associated with participating in the Event, including but not limited to: falls; physical contact with other participants, volunteers, race personnel, contract service providers, and spectators; the effects of weather including high heat and humidity, lightning and thunderstorms, strong winds and hail, poor air quality and wildfire smoke, severe storms and flash flooding, and cold temperatures and slippery surfaces; coming in contact with animals both wild and domestic; the potential for exposure to communicable diseases; and all other conditions of the course and venue. Additional risks specific to road races include: vehicular and bicycle traffic; variations in road surface and condition; and limited access to immediate medical assistance.
I recognize that these risks may result in muscle strains and tears; sprains; joint injuries; broken bones; head injuries including concussion; weather-related conditions including heat exhaustion, heat stroke, hypothermia, frostbite, and harm from lightning strikes; cardiac events including strokes and heart attacks; and other serious injuries or death.
Rules & Requirements
I agree that bicycles, skateboards, baby jogging strollers, roller skates or inline skates, and animals are not allowed in races unless explicitly permitted by the race director, and I will abide by all race rules. Headphones, earbuds, and arm speakers are discouraged, but if I choose to wear them, I understand that it is my responsibility to maintain awareness of fellow runners and my surroundings, respond to instructions from race officials, and participate safely and courteously.
