I further understand that it is my responsibility to know what my qualifications, skills, training and preparations are in order to participate in these activities. I do not expect any Sponsor to know any of the above in regard to me. I understand that if I require medical, fitness, or nutritional advice that I must contact my own physician or other health care professional, and that I should seek the advice of a doctor before starting any exercise routine.

For the sole consideration of the Sponsors allowing me to participate in this program, I hereby release and forever discharge the Sponsor, their members individually and their officers, agents and employees from any and all claims, demands, rights and causes of action of whatever kind that I may have either arising from or by reason of any personal injury or property damage resulting from or in any way connected with participation in the Run For God.
