START TRAINING

Assumption of risk. I understand that running, endurance training, and related conditioning carry inherent risks including but not limited to falls, collisions, contact with fixed objects, traffic, weather and road conditions, overuse injury, cardiac events, heat illness, and in rare cases permanent disability or death. I knowingly and freely assume all such risks, both known and unknown.

Fitness to participate. I represent that the athlete is physically able to participate in the training program described. I have disclosed all relevant injuries and medical conditions above, and I agree to consult a physician before beginning if I have any reason to question my fitness to train.

Remote coaching. I understand that Run Spartanburg LLC delivers training plans and coaching remotely, that plans are general guidance rather than medical advice, and that I remain solely responsible for judging my own readiness to complete any prescribed workout and for stopping if I feel unwell.

Release. In consideration of being permitted to participate, I release, waive, and discharge Run Spartanburg LLC, its owners, coaches, volunteers, and affiliates from any claim arising out of my participation, to the fullest extent permitted by law. This does not waive any liability that cannot be waived under South Carolina law.

Media. I grant Run Spartanburg LLC permission to use photographs and video taken at group runs and events in which I appear for promotional purposes, without compensation. I may opt out at any time by emailing info@runspartanburg.com.

Athletes under 18. If the athlete is under 18 years of age, this form must be completed and signed by their parent or legal guardian. By signing, that parent or guardian accepts every term of this waiver on the athlete’s behalf.

Acknowledgment. I have read this waiver and release in full, I understand its terms, and I sign it freely and voluntarily. This agreement is governed by the laws of the State of South Carolina.
