Virginia Happy Trails Running Club

I know that running and volunteering to work in club events and races are potentially hazardous activities. I should not participate in club activities unless I am medically able and properly trained. I agree to abide by any decision of a race official relative to my ability to safely complete a run. I assume all risks associated with running and volunteering to work in club events including, but not limited to, falls, contact with other participants, the effects of weather, including high heat and/or humidity, the conditions of the road and traffic on the course, all such risks being known and appreciated by me. I also realize that the Virginia Happy Trails Running Club events are particularly arduous and often held in remote locations far from medical help and with rough footing and many dangers. Having read this waiver and knowing these facts, I, for myself and anyone entitled to act on my behalf, waive and release the Road Runners Club of America, the Virginia Happy Trails Running Club, all of its members, and all sponsors, their representatives and successors from all claims or liabilities of any kind arising out of my participation in these club activities even though that liability may arise out of negligence or carelessness on the part of the persons named in this waiver. In short, I know that this is tough stuff filled with danger. If I get hurt, it’s my own fault for doing such stuff in the first place.
