因本人或本人之被监护人自愿参加由成都双遗体育产业发展有限公司（Sports Bureau of Dujiangyan City，下称“SY”）及其关联方（下称“主办方”）举办的本次赛事及其他活动并接受其提供的赛事服务，故本人完全认可并同意以下所有条款：
赛事风险提示
在本次赛事中，本人（或本人之被监护人，如适用）直接参与或以志愿者形式参与或协助（无论简单地参与、协助、检查或积极参加）的赛事及其他室内外活动（包括自由活动，本赛事和其他活动在本协议中合称为“活动”）包括但不限于：热身训练；赛前练习和正式赛事中的竞技跑步和/或步行；装备展示；参与救治、训练、示范或其他游戏和活动；使用任何设备、器械、设施；乘坐飞机、汽车、大巴或其他交通运输工具往返于赛事及活动场地等。该等活动可能是在日程安排中列明的也可能是未列明的；可能是必须参加的也可能是选择性参加的；可能是由主办方授权或组织举办的也可能不是。本人知晓活动的内在风险和其他风险、危险或威胁（在本协议中统称为“风险”）会使本人及其他人受伤、死亡或遭受其他损失。本人允许本人的被监护人参与和/或协助全部活动，并同意与本人的被监护人讨论本协议，特别是这些活动及存在的风险。以下是参赛者在活动中将会面临的部分风险：
竞技类或体育运动中的风险。在赛事训练、练习及比赛过程中以及在耐力赛事或其他与跑步相关的训练中会经常性地反复使用手臂和腿，会极度耗费体能和耐力，会使参赛者的速度和能力达到极限。

与决策和采取行动相关的风险。该等风险包括赛事主办方的员工、代表、志愿者、承包商或合作方可能误判参赛者的能力、健康和体能状况，或误判指令、医疗、天气、地形或路线位置的某些方面所导致的风险，或者该等人员可能未就其行为将导致的一种或某些风险向参赛者（及/或参赛者的法定监护人）提出警告。
与跑步相关的风险。该等风险包括失控和摔倒，与障碍物或他人（包括其他参赛者、志愿者或观众）碰撞，绊倒、跌倒或在道路/小径上遭遇危险或障碍物。

与所处位置相关的风险。参赛者所处的位置可能会引起或导致通讯、交通、疏散或医疗方面的延误或困难。
与场地相关的风险。活动中可能存在凹槽、洞穴、岩石、凹凸不平的地面或其他场地情况。
与活动管理相关的风险。本人理解主办方或其员工、代表、志愿者、承包商或任何与其有关的主体，均不会在活动中或任何其他时间监督管理参赛者。成年参赛者同意自始至终就其自身健康状况自行承担责任；或者，如适用，参赛者的法定监护人同意对参赛者在赛事或其他活动之前、过程中及结束后（包括自由时间和任何其他时间）的监督管理单独承担责任。
故意或过失行为的风险。参赛者本人、其他参赛者和/或第三方在赛事及活动中可能存在故意或过失行为。
无人机的风险。本人知晓无人驾驶飞行器（即“无人机”）会被用于媒体报导或其他目的，并接受与任何无人机有关的任何碰撞或伤害的风险。
与犯罪和恐怖活动相关的风险。存在第三方实施犯罪行为或恐怖主义行为的潜在风险。
上述风险可能导致参赛者：摔落或跌落地面；被袭击；与物体（如，无人机）或人相碰撞；（行驶或停放的）自行车或车辆的碰撞或翻车；对高海拔、天气状况或额外体力支出产生反应；迷路或无法辨识方向；产生肠道并发症或过敏反应或出现其他问题。上述情况可能导致参赛者在参与赛事或其他活动之前、过程中或结束后产生冷热疾病或状况（包括体温过低、冻伤、高热或中暑/中风）；脱水；低钠血症；高原反应；心脏或肺部并发症；骨折；瘫痪或其他永久性残疾；精神或情感创伤；脑震荡；晒伤或其他烧伤或其他伤害、损伤、死亡或损失。
鉴于以上风险，本人知晓并同意：
本人（或本人的子女，如适用）将阅读所有已收到的资料，准确填写并同意注册信息、文件和赛程规定。我将遵守赛事所有相关的规则和规定，其中包括赛事运营方的比赛周末信息和官方平台的常见问题解答部分，以及所有交通法规，因为上述每一项都可能会在赛前不时修改。本人承认，为参加活动，我可能被要求成为适用于赛事主办单位的现任会员或购买一天的许可证。通过提交此报名手续，我同意遵守并遵守适用的反兴奋剂规则，包括但不限于组委会采用的所有政策、流程和/或其他规则（可能会在赛前做调整修改）以及根据这些规则给与的权力。我也同意接受世界反兴奋剂机构颁布的世界反兴奋剂条例和相关国际标准的约束（例如，国际治疗用药豁免标准，禁用物质和禁用方法清单以及国际标准、测试和调查标准）。我承认我也可能受到任何适用的国家联合会，国际联合会，赛事仲裁机构或对我有权威的反兴奋剂组织的规则的约束。
本人（或本人的子女，如适用）最终能否注册并参加赛事取决于主办方对所有必要信息和文件（包括本协议）的审阅。
本人（或本人的子女，如适用）在参加任何活动前，会检查赛道，器械，设备及场地区域，如发现存在任何不安全因素，将立即通知主办方或赛事负责人。
本人（或本人的子女，如适用）的身体及精神状况完全适合参加赛事及活动且不会给本人及他人、他物造成任何损害。本人知晓，参加赛事及活动活动要求极高的身体素质和耐力，本人对于在赛前判断本人（或本人的子女，如适用）是否适合参加赛事及活动承担全部责任。
主办方将与独立承包商（包括个人或组织）签订合同，由其提供部分赛事服务和引导参赛者进行活动。本人知晓主办方无义务监管和控制该等独立承包商，主办方不会对独立承包商的行为承担法律责任。此外，活动的场地和设施并非由主办方所拥有或控制，主办方不会监控该等场地和设施的状况，也不对因该等场地和设施产生的损害承担责任。
本协议中的信息并不能穷尽所有的问题和风险，除此之外，仍可能存在其他未知或不可预料的活动、风险和问题，而且主办方不能保证本人（或本人的子女，如适用）的安全或是消除上述任何风险。本人理解，如本人对活动或其风险有进一步的问题本人可以咨询主办方的工作人员。
本人（或本人的子女，如适用）自愿参加本项赛事，在参加赛事及相关活动之前，已充分了解所有风险。因此，本人（或本人的子女，如适用）在此声明：本人同意并接受赛事内在和外在的风险（已知或未知的），并对该等风险对本人或他人造成的任何伤害、损害、死亡或其他损失自行承担全部责任。
责任豁免

A部分：在法律允许的范围内，本人（及本人的子女，如适用），同意如下：

INTRODUCTION
Please read this entire Acknowledgment and Assumption of Risks & Release and Indemnity Agreement (hereafter “Form”) carefully before signing. Each participant, and if the participant has not attained the legal age of majority, a parent/natural guardian/legal guardian of the minor participant (minors are those under 18 yrs. of age), must sign this Form. The participant or, if applicable, the participant’s parent/natural guardian/legal guardian, is referred to herein as “I” or “my”. I acknowledge that I have legal authority to act on behalf of myself, or if the participant is a minor that I have the legal authority to act for the minor on his/her behalf, and that the child is under 18 years of age. In consideration of the services of Competitor Group, Inc.t Co. Ltd. and its related parties, in allowing me/my child to participate in the Operator competitive event and other activities (hereafter “Event”), I acknowledge and agree as follows:
ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND ASSUMPTION OF RISKS
This Event and other activities that I (or my child, as applicable) may participate in and/or assist with as a volunteer (whether simply attending, assisting, observing or actively participating) may take place indoors or outdoors and can include but not be limited to: warm-up exercises; competitive running and/or walking, both in practice and in the Event; demo-ing (trying out) gear; participation in clinics, training, demonstrations or other games and activities, attendance at any activities, use of and/or assistance with any equipment, facilities or premises and traveling in planes, vans, buses or other vehicles to and from activities (this Event and other activities collectively referred to in this Form as “activities” or “activity”). Activities may be scheduled or unscheduled, mandatory or optional, whether or not authorized and/or conducted by Operator, structured or unstructured and include free time. I acknowledge that the inherent and other risks, hazards and dangers (collectively referred to in this Form as “risks”) of these activities can cause injury, damage, death or other loss to me, my child or others. I give permission for my child to participate in and/or assist with all Operator activities and agree to discuss this Form, and specifically, the activities and inherent risks, with my child. The following describes some, but not all of the inherent risks, as applicable to participant’s activities:
Risks in any competitive or athletic activity. Training for, practicing or competing in endurance or other events and associated with running and other conditioning involves frequent and repetitive use of the arms and legs, extreme fitness and endurance, and pushing the limits of the participant’s speed and abilities.
Risks present in an outdoor environment. Participants may be subject to: high altitude or mountainous terrain; severe storms or bad weather such as lightning, strong winds, rain, hail, snow and ice; extremely hot or cold weather; stinging, venomous and/or disease carrying animals or insects and other natural or man-made hazards. Hazards may not be marked or visible and weather is always unpredictable.
Risks involved in decision making and conduct. These risks include the risk that an Operator staff member, representative, volunteer, contractor, or co-participant may misjudge a participant’s capabilities, health, or physical condition, misjudge some aspect of instruction, medical treatment, weather, terrain, or route location, or, that one of those persons may not warn participant (and/or participant’s legal guardian) about one or more of the inherent risks of these activities.
Running risks. These risks include the risk of losing control and falling to the ground, colliding with objects or people (including co-participants, volunteers, or spectators) on land, tripping or falling down, or encountering other road/trail hazards.
Personal health and participation risks. The risk that a participant’s mental, physical or emotional condition (including any use or abuse of alcohol or prescription or non-prescription drugs), whether disclosed or undisclosed, known or unknown, combined with participation in these activities could result in injury, damage, death or other loss. Although Operator may review participant’s medical information, submitted in the registration process, Operator cannot anticipate or eliminate risks or complications posed by a participant’s mental, physical (including fitness level) or emotional condition.
Risks connected with location. Activity location may cause or contribute to delays or difficulties in communication, transportation, evacuation or medical care.
Risks associated with premises. Ruts, holes, rocks, uneven ground or other conditions may exist in and around the activities.
Supervision and activities risks. I understand that neither Operator nor any of their staff, representatives, volunteers, contractors or anyone associated with them will be supervising participant during the activities or at any time. Adult participant agrees he/she is solely responsible for his/her own well-being at all times; or, if applicable, a participant’s legal guardian agrees to take sole responsibility for participant’s supervision before, during and after the Event and other activities, including during free time and at all other times.
Risks regarding conduct. The potential that participant, co-participant/s and/or third party/s may act in a negligent or intentional manner.
Drone risks. I understand that unmanned aerial vehicles (“UAVs”, also known as “drones”) may be used at the Event for media or other purposes and accept the risk of a collision with, and any damage or injury relating to, any UAV.
Risk regarding criminal/terrorist activity. The potential that third party/s may commit criminal acts or acts of terrorism.
These and other risks may result in participants or an attending parent: falling partway or falling to the ground; being struck; colliding with objects (e.g., a UAV) or people; experiencing bicycle or vehicle collision or rollover; reacting to high altitudes, weather conditions or increased exertion; becoming lost or disoriented; suffering gastro-intestinal complications or allergic reactions or experiencing other problems. These and other circumstances may cause heat or cold related illnesses or conditions (including hypothermia, frostbite, hyperthermia, or heat exhaustion/stroke); dehydration; hyponatremia; high altitude sickness; heart or lung complications; broken bones; paralysis or other permanent disability; mental or emotional trauma; concussions; sunburn or other burns or other injury, damage, death or loss -- before, during or even after the participant participates in the Event or other activities.
I understand and agree:
· I (together with my child, as applicable) will review all materials received, accurately complete and agree to the registration information, documents and process, and obey all rules and policies. These rules and policies include USA Track & Field (“USATF”) Competitive Rules (including USATF’s Doping Control Rules), Operator’s Competition Rules (including Operator’s Doping Control Rules), as the foregoing may be amended, and all traffic laws;
· My (or my child’s, as applicable) final acceptance and participation in the Event is contingent upon Operator’s receipt and review of all required information and forms, including this Form;
· before participating in any activities, I (and my child, if applicable) may inspect the race course, facilities, equipment, and areas to be used, if my child and I choose. I will immediately advise Operator or an Event official if I believe or become aware that the race course facilities, equipment or areas to be used in the Event are unsafe;
· I am (or my child is, as applicable) fully capable of participating without causing harm to himself or herself or others. I further agree that participating in these activities requires extreme fitness and endurance, that I, in conjunction with my (or my child’s, if applicable) physician, am responsible for determining whether these activities are appropriate for myself (or my child, as applicable), before participation;
· Operator contracts with individuals or organizations that are independent contractors (not its employees or agents) to provide some of the Event services and to conduct some of the activities participants will engage in. I acknowledge that Operator does not supervise or control these independent contractors and is not legally liable or responsible for their conduct. In addition, activities take place on premises or at facilities not owned or controlled by Operator, and Operator does not oversee or take responsibility for any aspect or condition of these independent facilities or premises;
· the information provided in this Form is not exhaustive, other unknown or unanticipated activities, inherent or other risks and outcomes may exist, and Operator cannot assure my (and my child’s, if applicable) safety or eliminate any of the risks. I understand I can and should consult Operator representatives if I have further questions about the activities or the associated risks;
· I am (or my child is) voluntarily participating, and I (and my child) acknowledge the inherent risks in connection with the activities. Therefore, I agree that I (and my child, if applicable) assume and accept full responsibility for the participant, for the inherent and other risks (both known and unknown) of the activities, and for any injury, damage, death or other loss suffered by me or my child, resulting from those inherent and other risks, including but not limited to the risk of my, my child’s (if applicable), a co-participant’s, a Released Party’s, a spectator’s, a volunteer’s, and/or a third party’s passive or active negligence or intentional or other misconduct.
RELEASE AND INDEMNITY
Please read Parts A and B carefully. This Release and Indemnity section contains a surrender of certain legal rights.
Part A: To the extent allowed by applicable law, I for myself (and also for my child participant, if applicable), agree as follows:
· to release and not to sue Event sponsors, Event organizers, Event promoters, Event producers, race directors, Event officials, Event staff, advertisers, administrators, contractors, vendors, volunteers, and all property owners and state, city, town, county, and other governmental bodies, and/or municipal agencies whose property and/or personnel are used and/or in any way assist in locations where the activities take place, and each of their respective parent, subsidiary and affiliated companies, assignees, licensees, owners, officers, directors, partners, board members, shareholders, members, supervisors, insurers, agents, employees, volunteers, contractors and representatives and all other persons or entities associated or involved with the activities (individually and collectively referred to in this Form as the “Released Party” and "Released Parties"), with respect to any and all claims, liabilities, suits or expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs) (collectively referred to in this Form as “claim” or “claim/s”) that I may have, for any injury, damage, death, lost property, stolen property, or other loss in any way connected with my (or my child’s) enrollment or participation in and/or assistance with the activities, including use of and/or assistance with any equipment, facilities or premises, howsoever caused; negligence, whether passive or active, of the Released Parties; any breach by the Released Parties of statutory duty; and/or losses resulting from the inherent or other risks of the activities. I understand I agree here to waive all claim/s I may have (for myself and my child) against the Released Parties and agree that neither I, nor my estate, heirs, assigns or beneficiaries nor anyone else acting on my behalf, will make a claim against the Released Parties for any loss I may suffer, if I (or my child) suffer injury, damage, death or other loss; to defend and indemnify (“indemnify” meaning protect by reimbursement or payment) the Released Parties with respect to any and all claim/s brought by or on behalf of me, (my participating child) or other family member/s, a co-participant or any other person, for any injury, damage, death, lost and/or stolen property or other loss in any way connected with my, or my child’s, enrollment or participation in and/or assistance with the activities, including without limitation use of and/or assistance with any equipment, facilities or premises, howsoever caused; negligence, whether passive or active, of the Released Parties; any breach by the Released Parties of statutory duty; and/or losses resulting from the inherent or other risks of the activities.
This Release and Indemnity section Part A includes but is not limited to claim/s for personal injury or wrongful death (including claim/s related to emergency, medical, drug and/or health issues, response, assessment or treatment), property damage, loss of consortium, breach of contract or any other claim, including claim/s resulting from the negligence of Released Parties, whether passive or active.
Part B: If the participant is a minor, I (the minor participant’s parent) for and on behalf of my participating minor child, agree as follows: I agree here to waive and release, in advance, any claim or cause of action against the Released Parties that would accrue to my minor child for personal injury, including death, and property damage resulting from an inherent risk in the activity.
NOTICE TO THE MINOR CHILD'S NATURAL GUARDIAN
READ THIS FORM COMPLETELY AND CAREFULLY. YOU ARE AGREEING TO LET YOUR MINOR CHILD ENGAGE IN A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS ACTIVITY. YOU ARE AGREEING THAT, EVEN IF THE RELEASED PARTIES USE REASONABLE CARE IN PROVIDING THIS ACTIVITY, THERE IS A CHANCE YOUR CHILD MAY BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED BY PARTICIPATING IN THIS ACTIVITY BECAUSE THERE ARE CERTAIN DANGERS INHERENT IN THE ACTIVITY WHICH CANNOT BE AVOIDED OR ELIMINATED. BY SIGNING THIS FORM YOU ARE GIVING UP YOUR CHILD'S RIGHT AND YOUR RIGHT TO RECOVER FROM THE RELEASED PARTIES IN A LAWSUIT FOR ANY PERSONAL INJURY, INCLUDING DEATH, TO YOUR CHILD OR ANY PROPERTY DAMAGE THAT RESULTS FROM THE RISKS THAT ARE A NATURAL PART OF THE ACTIVITY. YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO REFUSE TO SIGN THIS FORM, AND THE RELEASED PARTIES HAVE THE RIGHT TO REFUSE TO LET YOUR CHILD PARTICIPATE IF YOU DO NOT SIGN THIS FORM.
To the extent allowed by applicable law, I agree to indemnify the Released Parties for any attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by them in defending a claim or suit brought by or on behalf of my child (whether that claim or suit is initiated by me, my child or another party) that an arbitrator or court determines is barred under applicable law, or, if the claim is withdrawn or dismissed.
OTHER PROVISIONS
I understand and agree:
· Any dispute or claim/s I (or my child) may have arising out of, relating to or in connection with this Form, my (or my child’s) enrollment or participation in the activities, or any other aspect of my (or my child’s) relationship with Operator: 1) will be governed by Florida substantive law (without regard to its “conflict of law” rules) and 2) unless settled by direct discussions, will be determined by binding arbitration as the sole and final remedy for all matters in dispute, administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with applicable Arbitration Rules as interpreted and governed by the Florida Arbitration Code. AAA arbitrator/s knowledgeable in the field and in commercial matters, acceptable to both the participant and Operator, will conduct the arbitration. Required Venue: I agree that any arbitration proceeding, or any suit or other proceeding must be filed, entered into and/or take place only in Tampa, Florida.
· If I am signing as the participant’s legal guardian, I have the legal authority to act for the participant and on his/her behalf. If my guardian status is challenged or found invalid, I will release, agree to defend and indemnify, and not to sue any of, the Released Parties, to the fullest extent allowed by law and per the provisions of this Form, just as if I were the participant’s lawful guardian.
· In regard to my or my child’s relationship with Operator, I agree that the contents of this Form will take precedence over any other forms or contracts I or my child may sign (for parties other than Operator) in connection with these activities.
· In no event may I (or anyone else on my behalf) without the prior written consent of WSC/WTC: (a) use any intellectual property of WSC/WTC and/or its affiliates, including, but not limited to, the , and Rock ‘n’ Roll® marks and names, the “M-Dot” logo, “K-Dot” logo (collectively, the “WSC/WTC IP”) and/or any words or marks that refer to, or are suggestive of, or confusingly similar to, the Event, any Event logo, Event name, Event location, Event date, or Event race distance (collectively, “Event IP”), or (b) sell, market, distribute, or produce any products, events, merchandise, websites, or services that are IRONMAN®-branded, 70.3®-branded, Event-branded, or branded or marked using (i) any Event logo, (ii) any Event name, (iii) any Event IP, or (iv) or any WSC// IP (including without limitation the word “IRON” or any foreign translation thereof as a prefix for, or component of, any race, event, trade name, trademark, organization name, club name, or brand of any kind, in each case in any way related to triathlon, triathletes, training, coaching, or any endurance sports).
· The athlete information packets (which contain each athlete’s race bib and timing chip) must be picked-up by the registered athlete in person at the scheduled athlete check-in prior to the Event. I hereby acknowledge that photo identification will be required to check-in and pick-up my athlete information packet.
· I authorize Operator staff, representatives, contractors or other medical personnel (including but not limited to P.Z. Pearce, M.D. and any other medical director(s) of the Event) to obtain or provide medical care for me/my child, to transport me/my child to a medical facility, and to provide treatment (including but not limited to evacuation, hospitalization, blood transfusions, surgery and medications) they consider necessary for my (or my child’s) health. I agree to pay all costs associated with that care and transportation. I agree, under the Health Information Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) to the release (to or by Operator, USATF, P.Z.
