Each participant, upon signing the registration form or clicking on “I agree” or ticking the box that reads “I accept”, agrees that he/she is (or the minor on behalf the parent or guardian has entered) physically and mentally capable of riding (or running) the distance they have chosen.

In this situation, the rider still accepts the costs and consequences of such actions.
