I also understand that in the event the race is cancelled due to adverse weather, natural disaster or for any other reason there will be no refund, transfer or rollover of my entry fee.

In consideration for allowing me to participate in the HMBIM EVENTS, I hereby take the following action for myself, my executors, administrators, heirs, next of kin, successors and assigns, or anyone else who might claim or sue on my behalf, and I expressly acknowledge that is my intent to take these actions: (a) I AGREE that prior to participating in an event I will inspect the race course, facilities, equipment, and areas to be used and if I believe any are unsafe I will immediately advise the person supervising the event; (b) I WAIVE, RELEASE, AND FOREVER DISCHARGE from any and all claims, losses (economic and non-economic), or liabilities, for death, personal injury, partial or permanent disability, property damage, medical or hospital bills, theft, or damages of any kind, which may in the future arise out of, result from, or relate to my participation in or my traveling to or from the HMBIM EVENTS, THE FOLLOWING PERSONS OR ENTITIES: COASTSIDE RUNNING EVENTS, INC., THE PURE RUN LLC, HALF MOON BAY INTERNATIONAL MARATHON, EVENT SPONSORS, RACE DIRECTORS, EVENT PRODUCERS, VOLUNTEERS, ALL STATES, CITIES, COUNTIES OR OTHER GOVERNMENTAL BODIES OR LOCATIONS IN WHICH THE HMBIM EVENTS OR SEGMENTS OF THE HMBIM EVENTS ARE HELD, AND THE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, REPRESENTATIVES AND AGENTS OF ANY OF THE ABOVE, EVEN IF SUCH CLAIMS, LOSSES, OR LIABILITIES ARE CAUSED BY THE NEGLIGENT ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF THE PERSONS I AM HEREBY RELEASE OR ARE CAUSED BY THE NEGLIGENT ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY; (c) I ACKNOWLEDGE that there may be traffic or persons on the course route, and I ASSUME THE RISK OF PARTICIPATING IN THE HMBIM EVENTS under these circumstances.
