Alameda Hospital Foundation Spring Run Event Participant Waiver

Outfront Endurance:
In consideration of you accepting this entry: I, the participant, intending to be legally bound do
hereby waive and forever release any and all right and claims for damages or injuries that I may
have against the Event Director and business Outfront Endurance and all of their agents
assisting with the event, sponsors and their representatives, volunteers and employees for any
and all injuries to me or my personal property. This release includes all injuries and/or damages
suffered by me before, during or after the event. I recognize, intend and understand that this
release is binding on my heirs, executors, administrators, or assignees.
I know that running a road race is a potentially hazardous activity. I should not enter and run
unless I am medically able to do so and properly trained. I assume all risks associated with
running in this event including, but not limited to: falls, contact with other participants, the effects
of weather, traffic, and course conditions, and waive any and all claims which I might have
based on any of those and other risks typical found in running a road race. I acknowledge all
such risks are known and understood by me. I agree to abide by all decisions of any race official
relative to my ability to safely complete the run. I certify as a material condition to my being
permitted to enter this race that I am physically fit and sufficiently trained for the completion of
this event and that a licensed Medical Doctor has verified my physical condition.
In the event of an illness, injury or medical emergency arising during the event I hereby
authorize and give my consent to the Event Director to secure from any accredited hospital,
clinic and/ or physician any treatment deemed necessary for my immediate care. I agree that I
will be fully responsible for payment of any and all medical services and treatment rendered to
me including but not limited to medical transport, medications, treatment and hospitalization.
By submitting this entry, I acknowledge (or a parent or adult guardian for all children under 18
years) having read and agreed to the above release and waiver.
Further, I grant permission to all the foregoing to use my name, voice and images of myself in
any photographs, motion pictures, results, publications or any other print, videographic or
electronic recording of this event for legitimate purposes.

City of Alameda: 
I acknowledge that this athletic event is an extreme test of a person’s physical and mental limits
and carries with it the potential for death, serious injury, and property loss. The risks include, but
are not limited to, those caused by terrain, facilities, temperature, weather, condition of athletes,
equipment, vehicular traffic, actions of other people including, but not limited to, participants,
volunteers, spectators, coaches, event officials, and event monitors, and/or producers of the
event, and lack of hydration. These risks are not only inherent to athletics, but are also present
for volunteers. I agree that prior to participating in an event, I will inspect the race course
facilities, equipment and areas to be used and if I believe they are unsafe, I will immediately
advise the person supervising the event activity, facility, or area. I hereby assume all of the risks of participating and/or volunteering in this event. I realize that liability may arise from negligence or carelessness on the part of the persons or entities being released, from dangerous or defective equipment or property owner, maintained or controlled by them or because of their
possible liability without fault.

I certify that I am physically fit, have sufficiently trained for participation in the event and have
not been advised otherwise by a qualified medical person. I acknowledge that this Accident
Waiver and Release Liability (AWRL) form will be used by the event holders, sponsors, and
organizers in events in which I may participate and that it will govern my actions and
responsibilities at said events.

In consideration of my application and permitting me to participate in this event, I, for myself, my
executors, administrators, heirs, next-of-kin, successors, and assigns, forever waive and
release and give up any and all claims, demands, liability, damages, costs, and expenses of any
kind whatsoever, including personal injuries to me, or wrongful death, against the following
entities or persons: (Sponsoring Organization), City of Alameda, its City Council, Boards and
Commissions, Officers, Employees and Volunteers, City Hall, Alameda CA 94501, the event
holders, event sponsors, event directors, event volunteers, and event officials which may arise
from my participation in the event or while traveling to or from the event, even if caused in whole
or in part by the negligence or fault of the parties or persons I am hereby releasing, by the
dangerous or defective Page 2 of 2 Revised 8/20/2014 G:\Comdev\Forms\Special
Events\Common Forms\SE7 - Acc Waiver and ROL.docx condition of any property or
equipment owned, maintained or controlled by them and/or because of their liability without
fault. I fully understand I am forever giving up in advance any right to sue or make any claim
against the parties I am releasing if I suffer such injuries and damages, even though I do not
know what or how extensive those injuries and damages might be, and am voluntarily assuming
the risk of such injuries and damages.
I will assume my own medical and emergency expenses and hereby consent to receive medical
treatment, which may be deemed advisable in the event of injury, accident, and/or illness during
this event. This AWRL shall be construed broadly to provide a release and waiver to the
maximum extent permissible under applicable law. I hereby certify that I have read this
document and I understand its content.
