I agree to abide by the decision of any club officer relative to my ability to safely complete the run. I assume all risks associated with running including, but not limited to, falls, contact with other participants, the effects of the weather, including high heat and/or humidity, ice, the conditions of the road and of traffic, all such risks being known and appreciated by me. Having read this waiver and knowing these facts, and in consideration of your acceptance of my application for membership, I, for myself and for anyone entitled to act on my behalf, waive and release the Ambler Area Running Club and all its sponsors, representatives and successors, from all claims and liabilities of any kind arising out of my participation in these club activities even though that liability may arise out of negligence or carelessness on the part of the persons named in this waiver.
