The LIVESTRONG® Challenge is the Lance Armstrong Foundation’s signature fundraising event. This series of walking, running and cycling events takes place in cities across the country. You must have medical insurance at the time of the event, and agree to the following Agreement and Waiver of Liability. All participants must pay $50 at the time of registration. Riders must raise an additional $250 to participate. Minors under the age of 18 must be accompanied during the event by a parent or legal guardian who is also a registered participant and agrees to the fundraising commitment.

Agreement:
I understand that all donations processed by the LIVESTRONG® Challenge donation office are non-refundable and non transferable, even if I do not participate in the event. I also understand that the $50 registration fee is non refundable, non-transferable, and not tax deductible. I understand that I must raise at least $250 in order to participate in the ride.

Waiver and Release of Liability:
I understand that while participating in this event or in training programs and related activities (referred to collectively as “the event”), I will be using public streets and facilities where many hazards exist and I am aware of and appreciate the risks that may result. I am also aware that accidents may occur during this event which could result in serious injury or death. I am voluntarily participating in this event with knowledge of all such risks, and if I am riding, I agree to wear a properly fitted and adjusted ASTM, ASNI, CPSC or SNELL certified helmet while riding.

In consideration of the acceptance of this registration entry, I assume full and complete responsibility for any injury or accident which may occur during my participation in any LIVESTRONG® Challenge event, and I hereby release and hold harmless the Lance Armstrong Foundation, Lance Armstrong Foundation Events, Medalist Sports, LLC, NIKE USA and its affiliates, the sponsors, promoters and all Lance Armstrong Foundation employees and other persons and entities associated with this event (all individually and collectively known as “releasees”), from any and all claims, losses, injuries, and liabilities or damages that I have or may have in the future based upon any acts or omissions, whether known or unknown, relating to, arising out of, or in connection with, the LIVESTRONG® Challenge event, whether it be caused by myself or by the negligence, or any degree, of the Lance Armstrong Foundation, the sponsors, or promoters, or other persons or entities associated with this event. This agreement may not be modified orally or in writing by any individual. I understand that a bicycle is a legal vehicle in this State and that I must ride in a safe manner. I further understand and acknowledge that cycling involves inherent dangers that no amount of care, caution, instruction or expertise can eliminate, and I am participating in the LIVESTRONG® Challenge event at my own risk.

I intend by the Waiver and Release of Liability to release in advance, and to waive my rights and to discharge all of the releasees (as defined above), from all claims, losses or liabilities for death, bodily injury or property damage that I may have, or which may hereafter accrue to me, as a result of my participation in this event, even though that liability may arise from negligence or carelessness on the part of the releasees, from dangerous or defective property or equipment owned, maintained or controlled by them or because of their possible liability without fault. I understand and agree that this Waiver and Release of Liability is binding on my heirs, assigns and legal representatives.

I am physically capable of completing this event. I understand that I may be asked to provide a doctor’s note or other proof that I am permitted to participate by my primary health care provider. If I am aware of or under treatment for any physical infirmity, ailment or illness, my medical care provider knows of and has approved my participation in this event. I will maintain personal health insurance while participating in the event. I acknowledge that I, and I alone, am solely responsible for my personal health and safety, and the personal property I bring with me. I will read the event description and rules for participation in the event and I will abide by all rules and regulations established by the event organizers and personnel as well as the local vehicle code. I consent to treatment in the event of an emergency or other incident in which, in the reasonable judgment of the on-site personnel, I require medical care.

I understand that my name, photograph, voice or likeness may be used for all promotional purposes related to the event by the Lance Armstrong Foundation, Lance Armstrong Foundation Events, Medalist Sports, LLC, NIKE USA, Inc., and their sponsors, beneficiaries, licensees, affiliates and employees. I consent to and authorize, in advance, such use and waive all rights of privacy I have in connection therewith. And I understand that I will not benefit financially from any use thereof.

I have carefully read this Waiver and Release and fully understand its contents. I am aware that by signing this waiver or selecting the "I AGREE" button I am agreeing to its terms, including waiving legal rights. Knowing this, I agree to these terms of my own free will.

On behalf of the minor participant, I hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agree to all of the terms of the Release and Waiver of Liability. I also, for myself and on behalf of my heirs, estate, insurers, successors and assigns, hereby release, indemnify and hold harmless the releasees (defined above), with respect to any and all claims or causes of action I may have for damages for personal or bodily injury, disability, death, loss or damage to person or property, whether arising from the negligence of any or all of the releasees or otherwise, whether or not negligence has been proven, to the fullest extent permitted by law. By signing below or selecting the "I AGREE" button I am agreeing to these terms and conditions, including waiving legal rights.
