there are unknown and unforeseeable hazards. I engage in the activity of
this event with knowledge of the inherent risks of injury. I understand the

voluntarily accept the terms of this waiver and release agreement. In
addition, I agree to abide by the rules and conditions laid down for the

that circumstances beyond the control of the event director may cause the

reserve the right to refuse entry from persons considered to have
insufficient experience or disqualify those who fail to follow the rules and

may be used by Performance Multisports and race sponsors for promotional
purposes. I affirm that the details written about me on this entry form are
true. I agree it is my sole responsibility to be familiar with the course,
the rules of the sanctioning body, and the special regulations of the event.
I understand that there is an 8-hour time limit for completing this race,
after which I will not expect the race organizers to remain at the finish
area. I agree to notify the race organizers if I should decide to withdraw
from this event prior to reaching the finish line. I have no physical or mental condition which, to my knowledge, would
endanger myself or others if I participate in this event, or would interfere
with my ability to participate in this event. I have read this waiver of
liability and accept the risks and responsibility associated with entering
this event. I further acknowledge that I may be required to sign an
Acknowledgement, Waiver & Release from Liability (AWRL) during the
registration process prior to starting the ride on the day of the event. I
hereby grant permission for the free use of my name and picture in any

| The mission
of the Right Whale Festival is to celebrate right whales and the beginning
of right whale calving season. The
goal is to engage the community and heighten public awareness of both
right whales and the importance of the area as the whales make their
seasonal return to the waters off FL/GA coast -- the only known North
Atlantic right whale calving grounds.
This one-day family festival will feature children’s
activities, music, beach cleanup, a beach run, and other activities geared
towards informing and inspiring the community about right whales, their
habitat, and conservation needs. For more details about the Right
Whale Festival, click here. |
