I know that running a road race/cross country race is a potentially hazardous activity. I should not enter and run unless I am medically able and properly trained. I agree to abide by all decisions by race officials relative to my ability to safely complete the event. I assume all risks associated with the event, including, but not limited to: falls, contact with other participants, the effects of the weather (such as high heat or humidity) and traffic. Knowing these facts and in consideration of your accepting my entry, I and anyone entitled to act on my behalf, waive and release the City of Newton, the Cookie Daze organizers and all volunteers, sponsors, and professionals associated with the event even though liability may arise out of the negligence of the party of the person named in this waiver. I also grant permission to all of the foregoing to use any photographs, video pictures, and recording or any other record of the event for any legitimate purpose. I understand that this event may be cancelled by conditions outside of the control of event organizers for the safety and well-being of event staff, participants and the community; such as severe weather, civil unrest, pandemics, bans on public gatherings, threat of terrorism, or other unforeseen circumstances that would make the event non-viable, and if so, I consent that I am not entitled to a refund or deferral once my race registration is complete.
