Please read carefully before signing. This is a release of legal rights.

1. Assumption of Risk. I certify that I am 18 years of age or older. I understand that running in, training with, and volunteering for organized group runs, social events, and races associated with WTVR THE WTHR RUN CLUB ("the Club") are physically demanding and potentially hazardous activities that can result in injury, illness, or death. I will not participate unless I am medically able and properly trained. By signing, I certify that I am medically able to perform all Club activities, am in good health, and am properly trained. I knowingly and voluntarily assume all risks associated with participation, whether known or unknown, including but not limited to: falls; physical contact with other participants, members, volunteers, race personnel, service providers, employees, animals, and spectators; the contraction of communicable diseases; the effects of weather, including high heat, humidity, and freezing cold; traffic; and the condition of the road, terrain, obstacles, or persons appearing on the route.

2. Rules and Code of Conduct. I agree to abide by all rules established by the Club, including the right of any official to deny or suspend my participation for any reason. I have read and agree to the Club's Code of Conduct, available at https://runwtw.com/pages/code-of-conduct. I understand that failure to comply with these standards may result in disciplinary action, including suspension or revocation of membership, and I understand the procedures for reporting and addressing harassment.

3. Equipment. I understand that bicycles, skateboards, baby joggers/strollers, roller skates, and inline skates are not permitted in Club-organized runs or events unless expressly authorized, and I agree to abide by all Club rules.

4. RELEASE OF LIABILITY. HAVING READ THIS WAIVER AND KNOWING THESE FACTS, AND IN CONSIDERATION OF THE CLUB ACCEPTING MY MEMBERSHIP AND/OR PARTICIPATION, I, FOR MYSELF AND MY HEIRS, EXECUTORS, ADMINISTRATORS, ASSIGNS, AND ANYONE ENTITLED TO ACT ON MY BEHALF, WAIVE AND RELEASE WTVR THE WTHR RUN CLUB, ITS ORGANIZERS, OFFICERS, VOLUNTEERS, SPONSORS, AND THEIR REPRESENTATIVES AND SUCCESSORS (THE "RELEASED PARTIES") FROM ALL CLAIMS OR LIABILITIES OF ANY KIND ARISING OUT OF MY PARTICIPATION IN CLUB ACTIVITIES, INCLUDING CLAIMS THAT ARISE OUT OF THE ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE OR CARELESSNESS OF THE RELEASED PARTIES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

I understand that this release does not, and is not intended to, waive liability for gross negligence, recklessness, or willful or intentional misconduct, or any liability that may not be released under California law.

5. Indemnification. I agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Released Parties from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) brought by me, my family, or any third party arising out of my participation in Club activities, except to the extent caused by the Released Parties' gross negligence or willful misconduct.

6. Emergency Medical Treatment. In the event of an injury or medical emergency, I authorize the Club and its organizers to arrange for emergency medical care and transportation on my behalf, and I accept financial responsibility for any such care. I understand the Club is not obligated to provide medical assistance.

7. Communicable Disease. I acknowledge the contagious nature of COVID-19 and other communicable diseases and voluntarily assume the risk that I may be exposed to or infected by them through participation in Club activities. I acknowledge that such exposure or infection may result in personal injury, illness, permanent disability, or death, and I personally assume this risk.

8. Media Release. I grant the Released Parties permission to use my photographs, video, recordings, or other records taken during Club activities for any legitimate Club purpose.

9. Refunds. I understand that the Club does not provide refunds in the event of cancellation of services or events, and I consent that I am not entitled to a refund if any Club activity or event is cancelled.

10. Term. This waiver applies to all Club activities in which I participate from the date signed and remains in effect until it is renewed or revoked in writing. I understand I will be asked to re-sign this waiver annually.

11. Governing Law and Severability. This waiver is governed by the laws of the State of California. If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

12. Voluntary Execution. I confirm that I have read this entire waiver, understand it, and sign it freely and voluntarily, with no inducement or assurance of any nature, and intend it to be a complete and unconditional release to the fullest extent permitted by law.
