By checking the box below, constituting an electronic signature of this Event Release and Waiver of Liability (“Waiver”), and in consideration of your accepting my
entry in the Alaska Run for Women event (“Event”), currently scheduled to take place virtually between May 31 - June 7, 2025 and in-person on June 7, 2025, I, for
myself and anyone entitled to act on my behalf, waive and release the Alaska Run for Women and its organizers, directors, officers, administrators, representatives and
executors, past and present employees, volunteers, agents, supervisors, participants, all state and local governments, Road Runners Club of America, assigns, sponsors, their
representatives and successors and other persons (collectively, the “Releasees”), from any and all claims, liabilities, damages, and/or causes of action arising out
of an injury to me (or my dependent) and from any and all claims, liabilities, damages, and/or cause of actions arising from, or relating to, my (or my dependent’s)
participation or attendance in the Event even though that liability may arise out of negligence or carelessness on the part of the persons named in this waiver, and waive my
right to bring any legal action against the entities outlined in this waiver. Additionally, should I be participating in the virtual Event, I am voluntarily electing to run on
my own as part of this virtual event, and waive my right to bring any legal action against the entities outlined in this waiver.
Virtual Event Participation
I know that running in an event that is organized as a virtual activity where I run on my own, within the United States of America, at a date and time of my choosing between
May 31 - June 7, 2025, in a location and on a running route of my choosing, and which will not have any support or security measures in place by the Alaska Run for Women is a
potentially hazardous activity, which could result in injury or death.
I attest and verify I am physically fit and have sufficiently trained for the completion of this Event and have full knowledge of the risks involved, included but not limited to
those caused by terrain, wildlife, weather, condition of the athlete, vehicle, other participants and lack of hydration, that I will assume those risks and will assume and pay
my own medical emergency expenses in the event of an accident, illness, or other incapacity, regardless of whether I have authorized such expense. There will be no on-course
support from the Alaska Run for Women or any other entity.
The terms outlined below relate to both the in-person and the virtual event.
Inherent and Potential Risks
I know that running a road and trail race is a potentially hazardous activity, which could cause injury or death. I understand that physical activity, by its very nature,
carries with it certain inherent risks. I assume all risks associated with participating in the Event, including relating to the risk of strenuous physical activity, tripping,
collisions with other participants, or falling. I acknowledge that I (or any person listed on this Waiver) may incur minor injuries, major injuries, and catastrophic injuries
including paralysis and death. I assume all risks associated with: coming into contact with unstable terrain; wildlife; other participants and volunteers (including the
potential contraction of a communicable disease resulting from contact with other participants, volunteers, race personnel, contract service providers, employees, and
spectators); collisions with other participants, vehicles, and pedestrians; negligent or wanton acts of other individuals; any defects of conditions of surfaces (including
uneven or wet surfaces or gravel); failure of other participants, vehicles, and non-participants to yield or follow common practices or laws; and the effects of weather
including high heat, thunderstorms, lightning, precipitation, cold temperatures, high winds, and/or humidity. I assume all risks associated with consuming any food or drink
during the Event. I am solely responsible for any adverse health effects from food or beverage consumption, regardless of any allergy, known or unknown, that I (or any person
listed on this Waiver) may have.
Medical Evaluation
I attest that I (or any person listed on this Waiver) am medically and physically able to participate in the Event. If I experience any doubt as to my (or any person listed on
this Waiver’s) ability to successfully and safely participate in and/or complete the Event, I take full responsibility for consulting a physician. I attest that, if I (or
any person listed on this Waiver) am pregnant, disabled in any way, or have recently suffered an illness, injury, or impairment, I (or any person listed on this Waiver) should
have or did consult a physician prior to participating in the Event. I acknowledge and understand that in the event of injury to me (or my dependent), the Releasees are in no
way responsible or liable for assisting in any way with obtaining medical treatment.
Alaska Run for Women and Race Officials’ Guidance
I agree to abide by any decision of race officials relative to any aspect of my participation in this virtual or in-person Event, including the right of any official to deny or
suspend my participation for any reason whatsoever. I attest that I have read the rules of the virtual and in-person run including the terms in this waiver and the
timeline of the virtual event (May 31 - June 7, 2025) and in-person event (June 7, 2025) and agree to abide by them.
I understand that bicycles, skateboards, roller skates or inline skates, animals, and personal music players are not allowed in the race, and I will abide by all race rules.
Those participating with a baby stroller or jogger must walk the course. NO RUNNING. Baby strollers and joggers must register and participate in either the 1-mile or 5-mile
untimed party wave and start behind all runners in those waves.
If running outdoors, I agree to follow all pedestrian safety ordinances including running on a sidewalk, multi-use trail, or running track where available and not in the road.
Additionally, I agree to follow the rules of the road if no sidewalk, multi-use trail, or running track is available and I will run against oncoming traffic and not with
traffic.

I grant permission for the Alaska Run for Women to use my photographs or any other record of my participation in this Event, including all Alaska Run for Women sponsored pre-

post-event activities, in any medium now known or hereafter developed, alone or in conjunction with other material, without restriction as to changes or alterations, as well as
to use my name, voice, likeness, and/or other indicia of identity, for editorial, educational, promotional, advertising, and commercial purposes, including without limitation
