In consideration of Gils Galavant Events ABN 74 340 212 377 (the “Organiser”) accepting my
participation in
any of the Gil’s Galavant BYU races (the “Event”), I agree to this release of claims, waiver of
liability
and assumption of risk.
1. The organiser takes out Public Liability insurance coverage for each event. This
insurance does
not cover injury or illness to event participants or support crews.
2. I agree to abide by the Event rules and the directions of all Event officials.
3. I confirm that I am sufficiently fit and have suitably trained for the exercise
associated with
this Event. I am not aware of any illness, injury or any other physical disability which may
cause
me injury
or death while participating in the Event. If I become aware of any medical condition or
impairment
or am
otherwise sick or injured prior to or during the Event, I will withdraw from the Event.
4. I understand and acknowledge that while participating in the Event:
- There is a risk of injury or death from various causes including, but not limited to, over
exertion,
dehydration, cardiac arrest, slips, trips or falls and environmental changes.
- The Organisers take no responsibility for loss or damage of my personal property.
- The conditions in which the Event is conducted may vary without warning but will be
communicated to
participants as soon as possible.
- I may be in a remote or isolated location where access to medical support may be limited
and
take
significant time to reach me.
- I assume the risk and responsibility for any injury, death or property damage resulting
from
my
participation in the Event.
- Safety precautions undertaken by the Organisers (such as Event briefings, trail maps and
signage,
drink stations) are a service to me but are not a guarantee of safety.
5. I agree that if I am injured or require medical assistance, the Organisers may, at
my
expense,
arrange medical treatment and emergency evacuation as deemed necessary. I agree that I am
responsible for my
own medical and ambulance insurance cover.
6. I understand that my personal information and any medical history collected as part
of
the entry
process for the Event will be made available to the Event staff. If I am evacuated from the
Event by
Emergency Services, this personal information plus any new data entered by Event staff will be
supplied to
the Emergency Services staff to enable my continued care.
7. I acknowledge that the Organiser may change the planned event course without notice
if
the
organiser deems this necessary for any reason. This may occur at any time before or during the
event.
8. As the event insurance holder, the Australian Ultra Runners Association (AURA)
require
that race
organisers furnish within 30 days after the race, information for their database of the
competitors
(first
name, last name, mailing address, telephone number, email address and DOB). This is for purposes
of
email
newsletters, records, rankings and for their competitor database generally. This information
will
not be
passed on by AURA to third parties. By entering the race, you consent to your personal
information
being
used as described.
9. I agree to allow my name, results, photographs, videos, multimedia, or film likeness
to
be used
for any legitimate purpose by the Organiser, the sponsors or Event partners without payment or
compensation.
10. I acknowledge that the Organisers may change the advertised course without notice
if
the
Organisers deem this necessary for any reason, at any time before or during the Event. Should
the
Event be
cancelled for any reason I understand that full entry fees may not be refunded.
11. I agree that if during the Event I am injured, my property is damaged, or the Event
is
cancelled, I will bring no claim, legal or otherwise, against the Organisers in respect to that
injury,
damage, or cancellation.

any
person for
any reason whatsoever.
