Informed Consent, Disclaimer and Photo Release

As a member of the Wesley Chapel Runners Group, I understand and agree to the following: I agree that I have joined this running group of my own free will, and I understand there are no specific membership requirements or fees. I do understand that there are rules and policies I agree to abide by in order to participate in any group activities.

I agree that I am a member of this group, and I acknowledge that running in and volunteering for organized group runs, social events, and races with this group can be potentially hazardous activities, which could cause injury or death. I will not participate in any group organized events, group training runs, or social events, unless I am medically able and properly trained. By attending, I certify that I am medically able to perform all activities associated with the group and I am in good health, and I am properly trained to do so. I agree to abide by all rules established by the group, 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 group and agree to abide by them. I assume all risks associated with being a member of this group and participating in group activities which may include falls, contact with other participants, the effects of the weather including high heat and/or humidity, traffic and the conditions of the road. Pets will not be allowed at any group meetup or event.

Most of the courses we run are on sidewalks alongside a major street or highway. These courses are NOT closed! This means you must obey all traffic laws, including running against traffic if you are on the road. Look both ways before crossing or entering any street or parking lot. Wear bright or reflective clothing and use lights if needed in the dark. Do not allow minors to run unaccompanied. Be courteous to others and allow ample room for other runners and/or vehicles to pass you. If you run solo, see below (places to run) for a few suggestions.

As it applies to my participation in this meet up, event or race, I agree to abide by the Center for Disease Control (CDC)'s recommendations for the prevention of the spread of COVID-19

Having read this waiver and knowing these facts and in consideration of your accepting my membership, I, for myself and anyone entitled to act on my behalf, waive and release Wesley Chapel Runners group, Wesley Chapel Runners Administrators/Moderators or representatives, RunSignup and the USATF, all group sponsors, their representatives and successors from all claims or liabilities of any kind arising out of my participation with the group, even though that liability may arise out of negligence or carelessness on the part of the persons named in this waiver.

Photo Release I hereby grant permission to Wesley Chapel Runners to use my image or motion pictures, recordings or any other record, on its web site or other media streams (such as but not limited to Instagram, Strava, Facebook) without further consideration. If you do not want your picture posted in any of our media content, DO NOT pose in the group photo or recording sessions, it’s that simple.
