2024 TTCU Tulsa Run

The individual identified below (“Entrant” or “I”) desires to participate in the Tulsa Run and its associated activities and events taking place in Tulsa, Oklahoma (collectively, the “Tulsa Run”). As part of the lawful consideration for being permitted to participate in the Tulsa Run, I hereby agree to the terms and conditions of this Release and Waiver.

I AM AWARE AND UNDERSTAND THAT THE ACTIVITIES ASSOCIATED WITH THE TULSA RUN ARE DANGEROUS ACTIVITIES AND INVOLVE THE RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY AND/OR DEATH AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT ANY INJURIES THAT I SUSTAIN MAY BE COMPOUNDED BY NEGLIGENT EMERGENCY RESPONSE OR RESCUE OPERATIONS OF THE ORGANIZERS (DEFINED BELOW). I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT I AM VOLUNTARILY PARTICIPATING IN THE TULSA RUN WITH KNOWLEDGE OF THE DANGER INVOLVED AND HEREBY AGREE TO ACCEPT AND ASSUME ANY AND ALL RISKS OF INJURY, DEATH, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE, WHETHER CAUSED BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE ORGANIZERS OR OTHERWISE.

I hereby waive any and all claims for myself and my heirs, successors and assigns against (1) volunteers and sponsors of the Tulsa Run, (2) the Tulsa Sports Commission, (3) the Tulsa Regional Chamber, and (4) each of their respective agents, servants, directors, officers, board members, volunteers, contractors and employees (collectively, the “Organizers”), for any injury or illness of any kind or nature whatsoever, or my death, which may directly or indirectly result from my participation in the Tulsa Run. I further agree to save and hold the Organizers harmless and agree to defend and indemnify each of the Organizers against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, claims, actions, judgments, settlements, interest, awards, penalties, fines, costs, or expenses of whatever kind, including reasonable attorney fees, court costs and the costs of enforcing any right to indemnification under this agreement, arising out or resulting from any claim of a third party related to my acts or omissions while participating in the Tulsa Run. I further represent, state and declare that I am in proper physical and mental condition to participate in the Tulsa Run. I recognize that the Organizers have not undertaken to provide the Entrant with any medical care, treatment or advice concerning Entrant’s ability to safely and successfully participate in the Tulsa Run.

I understand that the Tulsa Run may be canceled in the sole judgment and discretion of the Organizers for any reason without refund to the participants. I further agree that the starting time of the race and the schedule of events may be changed at the sole discretion of the Organizers. I understand that while I am participating in the Tulsa Run I may be photographed by the Organizers and hereby grant the Organizers the perpetual, irrevocable, and transferable right and license to use such images for any and all purposes without the requirement of further consideration or permission.

Participants may be subjected to motor vehicle, pedestrian, and cyclist traffic on the course and I specifically assume the risk of running in such traffic. I have reviewed the published rules governing the Tulsa Run and agree to be bound thereby. I am fully aware that allowing someone else to wear my race number, switching race numbers or running under a false name may be considered criminal acts of fraud, theft, and/or trespass. I may be subjected to appropriate civil and criminal actions if I commit such acts and I agree to not commit such acts.

BY SIGNING, I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT I AM AT LEAST 18 YEARS OF AGE, HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD ALL OF THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT I AM VOLUNTARILY GIVING UP SUBSTANTIAL LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO SUE THE ORGANIZERS.

FOR PARTICIPANTS UNDER THE AGE OF 18:

I AM THE PARENT OR LEGAL GUARDIAN OF THE MINOR NAMED BELOW. I HAVE THE LEGAL RIGHT TO CONSENT TO AND, BY SIGNING BELOW, I HEREBY DO CONSENT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS RELEASE AND WAIVER AND HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT I HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD ALL OF THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT I AM VOLUNTARILY GIVING UP SUBSTANTIAL LEGAL RIGHTS BELONGING TO ME AND THE MINOR NAMED BELOW, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO SUE THE ORGANIZERS.

USATF Waiver

For and in consideration of USA Track & Field, Inc. (“USA Track & Field”) allowing me, the undersigned, to participate in the USA Track & Field sanctioned event described above (the “Event” or “Events”); I, for myself, and on behalf of my spouse, children, guardians, heirs and next of kin, and any legal and personal representatives, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, hereby agree to and make the following contractual representations pursuant to this Waiver and Release of Liability, Assumption of Risk and Indemnity Agreement (the “Agreement”);

1. I hereby represent that (i) I am at least eighteen (18) years of age (or this Agreement is agreed to by my parent, natural guardian, or legal guardian (the “Guardian”)); (ii) I am in good health and in proper physical condition to participate in the Event; and (iii) I am not under the influence of alcohol or any illicit or prescription drugs which would in any way impair my ability to safely participate in the Event. I agree that it is my sole responsibility to determine whether I am sufficiently fit and healthy enough to participate in the Event, that I am responsible for my own safety and well-being at all times and under all circumstances while at the Event site. 2. I understand and acknowledge that participation in track & field, road running, race walking, cross country, mountain, ultra, and trail running Events is inherently dangerous and represents an extreme test of a person’s physical and mental limits. I understand and acknowledge the risks and dangers associated with participation in the Event and sport of track & field and related activities, including without limitation, the potential for serious bodily injury, sickness and disease, permanent disability, paralysis and loss of life; loss of or damage to equipment/property; exposure to extreme conditions and circumstances; contact with other participants, spectators, animals or other natural or manmade objects; dangers arising from adverse weather conditions; imperfect course or track conditions; land, water and surface hazards; equipment failure; inadequate safety measures; participants of varying skill levels; situations beyond the immediate control of the Event Organizers; and other undefined, not readily foreseeable and presently unknown risks and dangers (“Risks”). I understand that these Risks may be caused in whole or in part by my own actions or inactions, the actions or inactions of others participating in the Event, or the negligent acts or omissions of the Released Parties defined below, and I hereby expressly assume all such Risks and responsibility for any damages, liabilities, losses or expenses which I incur as a result of my participation in any Event. 3. I agree to be familiar with and to abide by the Rules and Regulations established for the Event, including but not limited to the Competition Rules adopted by USA Track & Field and any safety regulations established for the benefit of all participants. I accept sole responsibility for my own conduct and actions while participating in the Event, and the condition and adequacy of my equipment. 4. I hereby release, waive and covenant not to sue, and further agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the following parties: USA Track & Field, Inc., its members, clubs, associations, sport disciplines and divisions; United States Olympic Committee (USOC); the event directors, the host organization and the facility, venue and property owners or operators upon which the Event takes place; and any other organizers, promoters, sponsors, advertisers, coaches and officials for this Event; law enforcement agencies and other public entities providing support for the Event; and each of their respective parent, subsidiary and affiliated companies, officers, directors, partners, shareholders, members, agents, employees and volunteers (Individually and collectively, the “Released Parties” or “Event Organizers”), with respect to any liability, claim(s), demand(s), cause(s) of action, damage(s), loss or expense (including court costs and attorneys’ fees) of any kind or nature (“Liability”) which may arise out of, result from, or relate in any way to my participation in the Event, including claims for Liability caused in whole or in part by the negligent acts or omissions of the Released Parties. I further agree that if, despite this Agreement, I, or anyone on my behalf, makes a claim for Liability against any of the Released Parties, I will indemnify, defend and hold harmless each of the Released Parties from any such Liabilities which any may be incurred as the result of such claim. 5. As a condition of my participation in the Event, I hereby grant USA Track & Field, Inc., the event director and host organization a limited license to use my name, likeness, image, photograph, voice, video, athletic performance, biographical and other information (collectively, “Likeness”), in any media platform or format whatsoever, and to distribute, broadcast and exhibit these without charge, restriction or liability, but only for the purposes of advertising or promoting the Event, USATF, or the sport of Athletics. The foregoing grant, however, does not constitute consent for USATF or any third party to use my Likeness in an endorsement of any product or service without my specific written consent.

I hereby warrant that I (or the Guardian, if I am under the age of 18) am of legal age and competent to enter into this Agreement, that I have read this Agreement carefully, understand its terms and conditions, acknowledge that I will be giving up substantial legal rights by signing it (including the rights of my spouse, children, guardians, heirs and next of kin, and any legal and personal representatives, executors, administrators, successors and assigns), acknowledge that I have signed this Agreement without any inducement, assurance or guarantee, and intend for my signature to serve as confirmation of my complete and unconditional acceptance of the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement. This Agreement represents the complete understanding between the parties regarding these issues and no oral representations, statements or inducements have been made apart from this Agreement. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from this Agreement and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.

If the participant is under the age of 18, the Guardian hereby agrees to release and discharge the Released Parties as follows: a) The Guardian acknowledges and understands that the Event is inherently dangerous and represents an extreme test of a person’s physical and mental limits. Further, the Guardian acknowledges and understands the Risks, as defined above. b) The Guardian acknowledges the rights waived by both the Guardian and the participant by accepting this Agreement. c) The Guardian acknowledges that the Guardian will indemnify the Released Parties from any and all Liability which may arise out of, result from, or relate in any way to the participant’s participation in the Event, including claims for Liability caused in whole or in part by the negligent acts or omissions of the Released Parties.
