THIS RELEASE IS A CONTRACT WITH LEGAL CONSEQUENCES. I HAVE READ IT CAREFULLY BEFORE SIGNING.

I assume all risks associated with being a member of the club and participating in all club activities, which may include but not limited to: falls, physical contact with other participants/members, volunteers, race personnel, contract service providers, employees, and spectators, the potential to contract a communicable disease. I assume all risks including: the effects of the weather; high heat and/or humidity; freezing cold temperatures; traffic and the conditions of the road/trail including surrounding terrain.

I understand that bicycles, skateboards, and roller skates or inline skates are not allowed in club organized runs or events, and I will abide by all rules of the club. Having read this waiver and knowing these facts and inconsideration of your accepting my membership, I, for myself and anyone entitled to act on my behalf, waive and release the Greater Bellingham Running Club (GBRC) and the Road Runners Club of America, all club sponsors, their representatives and successors from all claims or liabilities of any kind arising out of my participation in the club activities, even though that liability may arise out of negligence or carelessness on the part of the persons or organizations named in this waiver.  

I grant permission to all of the foregoing to use my photographs, motion pictures, recordings or any other record of the club for any legitimate purposes.
