In no event may I, without the prior written consent of the Operator (as applicable): a) use any intellectual property of Mountain Goat Running Group, and/or any words or marks that are deceptively similar or refer to, the Event, any Event logo, or Event race distance (collectively, “Event IP”), or (b) sell, market, distribute, or produce any products, events, merchandise, websites, or services that are branded or marked using any Event IP.
YOUR RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES:

I accept that activities take place on premises or at facilities not owned or controlled by the Operator.
• It is my responsibility to ensure that I am sufficiently fit, of good physical and mental health and capable of participating in the Event (without causing harm to myself or others) and it is my responsibility to seek any and all required medical advice, recommendations and clearances prior to arriving at and participating in the Event (if and as applicable).

Any such injury or loss may result not only from my actions but from the actions, omissions or negligence of others.
• Prior to participating in the Event, I will do all things within my control to make myself aware of all risks or potential risks involved, including risks associated with any health condition I have.
