<ol>
 	<li>Assumption of Risk. I am aware that cycling and/or participation in an Event, involve inherent risks, including but not limited to collision with pedestrians, vehicles, other participants, animals, and fixed or moving objects; imperfect course conditions; surface hazards, including potholes; equipment failure; inadequate safety equipment; use of equipment or materials provided to me by others; those associated with man-made and natural jumps; sickness or disease (including communicable diseases like Coronavirus); and weather conditions. I fully understand that participating in an Event is an extreme test of a person’s physical and mental limits and may involve the risk of serious injury or death, economic loss, property damage or loss that may result from my actions, inactions, or negligence, and from the actions, inactions, or negligence of others.</li>
 	<li>Release of Liability. I hereby forever release, waive, and discharge CRR and each of its respective officers, directors, agents, host parks, employees, volunteers, independent contractors, members, clubs, officials, event directors, local associations, sponsors and affiliates connected with an Event, and each of their respective officers, agents, employees, and volunteers (collectively, “Releasees”) from any claims that may arise out of or are related to my participation in an Event, including claims arising from the ordinary negligence of Releasees.</li>
 	<li>Covenant Not to Sue and Indemnity Agreement. I will not make any claim against Releasees for injury, damage, death, or any other loss arising from or related to my participation in the Event. I understand that if I attempt to sue Releasees in violation of this agreement, Releasees may seek to recover all of their costs, including legal fees. I agree to indemnify, hold harmless, and defend Releasees from and against any actions, causes of action, claims, charges, demands, losses, damages, costs, attorney’s fees, judgments, liens, indebtedness, and liabilities of every kind, whether known or unknown, including foreseen or unforeseen bodily injury and personal injuries and property damage that may be sustained by me or any other person in any way connected to, related to, or arising out of my participation in the Event.</li>
 	<li>Health. I represent that I, or my child or dependent, is in good health and proper physical condition to participate in an Event safely. I acknowledge that it is my sole responsibility to make such determination and that I am responsible for my well-being at all times while participating in an Event. If I suffer any injury related to or arising from an Event, I consent to the release of my name and medical information by any third party to Releasees and their insurance carriers.</li>
 	<li>Rules; Regulations; Equipment. I agree to be familiar with and abide by the rules and regulations established for an Event. I also agree that I am subject to, and shall abide by, the competitive rules, regulations, policies, and Code of Conduct adopted by CRR. I agree to be familiar with the Event course. I agree to ride and participate to neither endanger myself nor others. I accept responsibility for the condition and adequacy of my equipment and any equipment provided by others for my use. I will wear a helmet that complies with cycling rules and regulations, and I assume all responsibility for the selection of such a helmet.</li>
 	<li>Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Severability. This agreement shall be governed by and construed under the laws of South Carolina, without regard to its choice of law rules. Any legal suit, action, or proceeding arising out of or relating to this agreement shall be instituted in the federal or state courts located in South Carolina.
