PARTICIPATION AND ASSUMPTION OF RISK AGREEMENT

("Athlete"), in consideration of being permitted to participate in the athletic, running and conditioning program with Bethesda Running Club, currently coached by Ryan Grossner, acknowledge that participation in such training can be hazardous to my health and that I have an increased risk of injury by participation in any such training.

I agree and understand that I am solely responsible for my health and medical condition, and that it is my sole responsibility to determine my physical and medical fitness to undertake strenuous activity. I acknowledge that the Coach is not a medical doctor and that advice and recommendations of the Coach are based upon the Coach's training and experience as a runner.

I know that running is a potentially hazardous activity and certify that I am in good health and physically fit to enter into this club as an active member fit to perform training exercises including but not limited to running, brisk walking, and other such activities for an extended period of time. I acknowledge that I am aware of the the many risks involved in athletic training in general and running training specifically, which risks include by way of example and not limitation: 1) minor injuries such as scrapes, bruises, sprains and strains; 2) more serious injuries, heat related injuries such as heat stroke and heat exhaustion, dehydration and overhydration conditions such as hyponatremia, and catastrophic injuries and conditions such as heart attacks and other conditions or injuries which could be fatal.

I accept all the inherent risks of participating in the running and conditioning training program. I understand and agree that Coach Ryan Grossner nor any other certified coach that may in the future become affiliated with Bethesda Running Club shall assume no responsibility or liability for me for accident, illness, or loss of, or damage to, personal property resulting from participation in this club.

The forgoing is submitted in consideration of Bethesda Running Club's coach and organizing body allowing my participation. I confirm that I am of adult age (or that a parent of adult age has viewed and signed this agreement) and I execute this document with full knowledge of the content and consequences stated in this Agreement.

Assumption of Risks: Participation in running and conditioning programs carries with it certain inherent risks that cannot be eliminated regardless of the care taken to avoid injuries. I know that running is a potentially hazardous activity and certify that I am in good health and physically fit to participate in this club and its events.

I have read the previous paragraphs and I know, understand, and appreciate these and other risks that are inherent in training for and participating in road, trail, and track running and racing and any conditioning and cross training activities associated with that training. I hereby assert that my participation is voluntary and that I knowingly assume all such risks.


Indemnification and Hold Harmless: I also agree to INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS Ryan Grossner or Bethesda Running Club from any and all claims, actions suits, procedures, costs, expenses, damages, and liabilities, including attorney's fees brought as a result of my involvement in Bethesda Running Club.


Severability: The undersigned further expressly agrees that the foregoing waiver and assumption of risks agreement is intended to be as broad and inclusive as is permitted by the law of the State of Maryland and that if any portion thereof is held invalid, it is agreed that the balance shall, notwithstanding, continue in full legal force and effect.
