Rockaway Run Club

Waiver

Release of Liability, Assumption of Risk, and Media Consent

I want to take part in group runs and events organized by Rockaway Run Club ("the Club"), a free, volunteer-run community group. In exchange for being allowed to participate, I agree to the following:

Voluntary participation. I am taking part voluntarily. Running is a physical activity that can cause injury, illness, or in rare cases death. Risks include falls, collisions, uneven or wet surfaces, traffic, weather, darkness, and other people's actions.
My health. I am physically able to take part. I have consulted a doctor if I have any doubts. I will stop and seek help if I feel unwell.
Assumption of risk. I understand and accept these risks, known and unknown, and I take full responsibility for my own safety. I will follow traffic laws and use good judgment, including running with a light or reflective gear in the dark.
Release. To the fullest extent the law allows, I release and agree not to sue the Club, its organizers, volunteers, and members (the "Released Parties") for any injury, loss, or damage that comes from my participation, except where caused by their gross negligence or willful misconduct.
No supervision or instruction. The Club's runs are social. They are not coached or supervised training, and Club organizers are not medical or fitness professionals acting in that role.
Emergency care. If I need emergency care, I authorize the Club's volunteers to call 911 or get help for me. I am responsible for any resulting costs.
Photos. The Club may take photos or video at runs and share them on its website and social media. I can opt out at any time by emailing hello@rockawayrunclub.com.
Minors. Anyone under 18 needs a parent or guardian to agree to this waiver for them and to run with them.

I have read this waiver, I understand it, and I agree to it. Checking the box on the sign-up form is my electronic signature.
