[Exemption from injury and fatal accident]

• The Event takes place indoors or outdoors and can include but not be limited to: warm-up exercises; competitive swimming, cycling and running, both in practice and in the Event; demo-ing (trying out) gear; participation in clinics, training, demonstrations or other games and activities, attendance at any activities, use of any equipment, facilities or premises and traveling in planes, vans, buses or other vehicles to and from activities (the Event and other activities collectively referred to in this Form as "activities" or "activity"). Activities may be scheduled or unscheduled, mandatory or optional, whether or not authorized and/or conducted by Organizer, structured or unstructured and include free time. I acknowledge that the inherent and other risks, hazards and dangers (collectively referred to in this Form as "risks") of these activities can cause injury, damage, death or other loss to participant or others. The following describes some, but not all of the inherent risks, as applicable to participant's activities:
• Risks present in an outdoor environment. Participants may be subject to: high altitude or mountainous terrain; severe storms or bad weather such as lightning, strong winds, rain, hail, snow and ice; fast moving or deep lakes, oceans or other water bodies; currents or whitewater; extremely hot or cold weather; stinging, venomous and/or disease carrying animals (including marine life) or insects and other natural or man-made hazards. Hazards (both on land and above and below water level) may not be marked or visible and weather is always unpredictable.
• Cycling, running and swimming risks. These risks include the risk of losing control and falling from the bike, colliding with objects (including UAVs (defined below), parked or moving vehicles and/or bicycles) or people (including co-participants or spectators) on land or in water, tripping or falling down or encountering other water/road/trail hazards; or being submerged underwater, hitting bottom or drowning.
• Personal health and participation risks. The risk of contracting communicable disease(s), including but not limited to COVID-19, from other person(s) (including but not limited to any co-participant; spectator; Organizer staff, representative, volunteer, or contractor; and/or any other person(s)) before, during, and/or after the Event and other activities. The risk that a participant's mental, physical or emotional condition (including any use or abuse of alcohol or prescription or non-prescription drugs), whether disclosed or undisclosed, known or unknown, combined with participation in these activities could result in injury, damage, death or other loss. Although Organizer may review participant's medical information, submitted in the registration process, Organizer cannot anticipate or eliminate risks or complications posed by a participant's mental, physical (including fitness level) or emotional condition. Organizer has put enhanced health and safety measures in place due to the potential spread of COVID-19. I must follow all posted instructions while visiting any Event-related venue. An inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 exists in any public place where people are present. COVID-19 is an extremely contagious disease that can lead to severe illness, permanent disability, and death. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization, senior citizens and persons with underlying medical conditions are especially vulnerable. By visiting any Event-related venue, I voluntarily assume all risks related to exposure to COVID-19;
  I authorize and consent to Organizer staff, representatives or contractors to conduct such public health safety screening activities by methods selected by Organizer. While participating in the Event, I agree to comply with any public health and/or safety directions of Organizer staff, representatives or contractors; police; or government or health authorities.
• Risks connected with location. Activity location may cause or contribute to delays or difficulties in communication, transportation, evacuation or medical care.
• Equipment risks. The risk that equipment used in activities may be misused, or may break, fail or malfunction. Participant (and/or the participant's legal guardian) assumes full responsibility for choosing appropriate equipment and for the fit and condition of the equipment. Organizer requires use of helmets for biking activities. Helmets or other safety gear may prevent or lessen injuries in some instances; however, use of safety gear is not a guarantee of safety, and injury can occur even with the use of this gear.
• Supervision and activities risks. I understand that neither Organizer nor its staff, representatives, volunteers, contractors or anyone associated with them will be supervising participant during the activities or at any time. Adult participant agrees he/she is solely responsible for his/her own well-being at all times; or, if applicable, a participant's legal guardian agrees to take sole responsibility for participant's supervision before, during and after the Event and other activities, including during free time and at all other times.
• Risks regarding conduct. The potential that participant, co-participant/s and/or third party/s may act in a negligent or intentional manner.
• Drone risks. I understand that unmanned aerial vehicles ("UAVs", also known as "drones") may be used at the Event for media or other purposes and accept the risk of a collision with, and any damage or injury relating to, any UAV.
• Risk regarding criminal/terrorist activity. The potential that third party/s may commit criminal acts or acts of terrorism.
• I acknowledge and understand that compensation is made within the Organizer's insurance coverage and the Event does not provide me with personal accident insurance coverage and that I am responsible to obtain my own personal accident insurance coverage should I wish to be eligible for accident benefits, except in the event of intentional misconduct or gross negligence of Organizer or WTC, as applicable, in which case such release will not apply to Organizer or WTC, as applicable.
