I, the undersigned, know and understand that LoHi Trek (herein after referred to as “event”) and its related events involve potentially hazardous or dangerous activities and conditions. I attend this event and all related events out of my own free will and choice. In choosing to attend this event and any related events, I FULLY ACCEPT AND ASSUME ALL RISKS, whether before, during or after this event and its related events, whether or not an event is listed herein. These include, without limitation, physical injury, mental injury, emotional distress, trauma, sickness, illness, death, contact with others, acts by spectators, participants or third persons, equipment failure or defective equipment, inadequate safety equipment, the effects of weather including extreme temperature or conditions, traffic, contact with motor vehicles of all types and descriptions, collision with other persons, or fixed objects, the conditions of and/or design and other defects in the road and facilities, including campgrounds, all risks along the route, risks of crime, violence or terrorism, the possibility that this event and any related events may be postponed, ended early, or cancelled altogether by government officials and/or event organizers, and the negligence of others, including, without limitation, those persons organizing, sponsoring, volunteering or participating in this event and/or events occurring in connection with it. I am aware that the risk of injury or death is always present in this event and that this risk cannot be eliminated by this event’s organizers, sponsors, volunteers and the government and private entities that host or assist in this event. I know and accept that accidents may result from the failure for any reason (including negligence) of this event’s organizers, sponsors, volunteers and the government and private entities that host or assist in this event to correctly determine the conditions and safety of the surface, route or weather or to predict where or when an accident might occur. All risks are known, appreciated and assumed by me, and I waive any and all specific notice of the existence of them and further waive the obligation, if any, that any other person or entity has to advise or warn me of them. I assume liability for and agree to pay my own medical and emergency expenses in the event of injury, illness, or other incapacity regardless of whether I authorized such expenses. I authorize the use and release of personal and medical information in connection with any medical services provided to me.

I realize that this event requires physical conditioning. I represent that I am in sound medical condition and capable of participating in this event without risk to myself or others. I have no medical impediment that would endanger others or me. I understand that a situation may arise during this event and related events that may be beyond the control of the sponsors, promoters, volunteers, organizers, government and private entities or others that host or assist in this event and all related events, or may arise from negligence by them, and I accept and assume all risks of participation and/or attendance. I will be solely responsible for the condition and adequacy of myself, safety gear and equipment. I will hike safely within the limits of my own abilities, my equipment and the conditions and in a manner that does not endanger others or me.

Knowing these facts and in consideration of my entry acceptance, admission to and/or participation in this event and its related events, I for myself, spouse, children, heirs, next of kin, assigns and anyone acting on my behalf, RELEASE, WAIVE, DISCHARGE, COVENANT NOT TO SUE AND AGREE TO HOLD Golden Hills RC&D, Kelly Madigan, the Loess Hills National Scenic Byway, Pottawattamie County, City of Council Bluffs, the Iowa DOT, Iowa DNR, private landowners, and affiliated entities; this event’s sponsors and participating clubs, communities and organizations; this event’s officials, emergency and support personnel, volunteers and their representatives; persons and entities that provide event recommendations, advice or services relating to matters such as, but not limited to, route selection, design or maintenance, risk management, safety and first aid; all property owners, law enforcement agencies and governmental or public entities, including without limitation the State of Iowa, its counties, cities and special districts; and the officers, directors, employees, representatives, agents, assigns, and successors of all of the above, HARMLESS FROM ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, DEMANDS AND ACTIONS OF ANY AND EVERY KIND, INCLUDING CLAIMS OF NEGLIGENCE, I have, may have or may hereafter accrue against the released parties directly or indirectly arising out of or relating in any respect to my attending or participating in this event and/or any related events. My waiver and release of all claims, demands, actions and liabilities shall include without limitation, any personal injury, accident, illness or death and any property damage or loss that may be: (a) caused by any act, or failure to act, by the above-identified persons and entities, including without limitation, their negligence, errors, omissions, fault, failure to enforce rules, and conditions of the routes and/or event premises, (b) caused by crime, violence or terrorism, and/or (c) sustained by me before, during or after this event and its related events. I acknowledge that I am signing this agreement freely and voluntarily, and INTEND BY MY SIGNATURE FOR THIS TO BE A COMPLETE AND UNCONDITIONAL RELEASE OF ALL LIABILITY TO THE GREATEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW. I further acknowledge that no representations, promises, statements or inducements have been made to me other than as set forth in this document. I will abide by all of this event’s rules and regulations. I understand that my name, address, photograph, voice and/or likeness may be used in news, promotional or advertising content in all media forms created or distributed by Golden Hills RC&D. I consent to such uses and waive any rights of privacy or publicity I may have in connection with those uses. I also waive any privacy rights that may result from disclosure of information about me, including without limitation, in connection with provision of any medical services by this event’s sponsors and organizations. I further agree to indemnify and hold the parties released above harmless from any and all losses, damages, injuries, claims and expenses, including attorneys' fees, arising from or relating in any respect to my attendance and/or participation in this event and/or its related events or my breach of this agreement. If I am a minor, my parent or guardian also is signing on my behalf. We both agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement, waiver and release. I also waive all spousal claims relating to this event, if any, that I hold or that may arise through me. I agree that no modifications or amendments to the standard Entry Form and this waiver and release shall be binding unless they are accepted in a separate writing signed by the Executive Director of Golden Hills RC&D.

All matters arising out of this Agreement and my participation in this event and any related events shall be governed by the laws of the State of Iowa, without regard to choice of law principles, and shall be within the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and/or federal courts located within the State of Iowa, and the parties hereby consent to such exclusive jurisdiction and waive objections to venue therein. If any term of this release is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, then all other terms of this release will nevertheless remain in full force and effect, and such term automatically will be amended so that it is valid, legal and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, but as close to the parties’ original intent as is permissible.

I hereby grant Golden Hills permission to use my likeness in a photograph, video, or other digital media (“photo”) in any and all of its publications, including web-based publications, without payment or other consideration. I understand and agree that all photos will become the property of Golden Hills. I hereby irrevocably authorize Golden Hills to edit, alter, copy, exhibit, publish, or distribute these photos for any lawful purpose. In addition, I waive any right to inspect or approve the finished product wherein my likeness appears. Additionally, I waive any right to royalties or other compensation arising or related to the use of the photo.

I (the previously-named entrant on the Entry Form) HAVE READ THIS AGREEMENT, WAIVER AND RELEASE OF LIABILITY, UNDERSTAND IT AND VOLUNTARILY AGREE TO AND ACCEPT ITS TERMS. I UNDERSTAND I AM GIVING UP SUBSTANTIAL RIGHTS.
