I realize fully the potential dangers of participating in a foot race held in the Yukon and Northwest Territories, Canada at the time of year of the event and fully accept the risk associated with such participation, including but not limited to the following dangers: adverse weather conditions, frostbite, hypothermia, dehydration, encounters with wild animals, pedestrians, vehicles, and other racers and fixed or moving objects, getting lost, sliding down hills, dangers arising from surface hazards, failure of personal equipment, inadequate personal safety equipment, the possibility of serious physical and/or mental trauma and injury, including death.
I understand that there are many more potential hazards than are indicated above, and that there are likely to be unknown and unforeseeable hazards.
I hereby waive, release and discharge myself and my successors (heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, etc) any and all rights and claims which the race organiser(s), the promoter and any promoting organization(s) and their board of directors, property owners, law enforcement agencies, all public entities, special districts, and properties (and their respective agents, officials, and employees) through or by which the event will be held for any and all damages which may be sustained by my participation in and of association with the event, or travel to or return from the event.

I accept responsibility for adequacy of my preparation and training.
I have no physical or mental condition which, to my knowledge, would endanger myself or others if I participate in this event, or would interfere with my ability to participate in this event.
I understand that the nature of the race location is beyond conventional medical and emergency support. While the race support crew includes medically qualified staff their role is as part of the support crew and they do not have a duty of care to me during the race. Medical staff is there to support the race director in his decisions concerning fitness to continue. Any medical assistance provided to race participants is done so as a Good Samaritan act. I hereby waive my right to any compensation, negligence or other claim against any individual or 66 Adventure Ltd for provision of, or lack of provision of medical care during the duration of the race.
I agree, on behalf of myself and my successors, that the above terms are contractually binding, and are not mere recitals, and that should I or any of my successors assert any claim in contravention of this agreement, I or my successors shall be liable for the expenses (including legal fees) incurred by the other party or parties in defending, unless the other party or parties are finally adjusted liable on such claims for wilful or wanton negligence. This agreement may not be modified orally by either party, and a waiver of any provision shall not be construed as a modification of or as consent to any other provision herein or as consent to any subsequent waiver of modification.
I fully understand the potential risks involved in this race and I have carefully read, understand and voluntarily accept the terms of this waiver and release agreement. In addition, I agree to pay for damage caused by me to Race Organiser’s equipment used in the event. I agree to abide by the rules and conditions laid down for the event and to follow instructions issued by the Race organiser(s). I understand that circumstances beyond the control of the race organiser(s) may cause the event to be modified, postponed or relocated. I accept that the organizers reserve the right to refuse entry from persons considered to have insufficient experience or disqualify those who fail to follow the rules and conditions: ignorance is no excuse. I agree that my name, voice or picture may be used by the race organisers, 66 Adventure Ltd or official sponsors for promotional purposes.
I confirm that the details written about me on this entry form are true.
