​

Assumption of Inherent Risks: The Giant Challenge event is meant to be an extreme test of toughness, strength, stamina, camaraderie, and mental grit that takes place in one place in one day. It is not a race against other contestants, but rather a competition with oneself and the routes. The object is to complete the course. Inherent risks are risks that cannot be eliminated completely (without changing the challenging nature of the GC event) regardless of the care, measures and precautions taken by GC and are further described below (“Inherent Risks”). I also understand that the GC event is an extremely strenuous event and that there are risks and dangers generally in taking part in such activities. I understand that these hazards may be magnified due to the fact that the GC event is often conducted over long distances and challenging elevation.

​

I understand and acknowledge that the Inherent Risks include, but are not limited to: 1) my contact or collision with other persons or objects (e.g., with spectators or course personnel, other participants, motor vehicles, machinery, or natural or man-made fixed objects or obstacles; 2) extremely challenging course conditions; 3) weather-related hazards (e.g., extreme heat, extreme cold, humidity, ice, rain, fog); 4) judgment and/or behaviour related problems by me during the event; 5) erratic or inappropriate behaviour by other participants and/or spectators; and 6) natural hazards (e.g., uneven terrain, rock falls, lightning strikes, earthquakes, wildlife attacks, contact with poisonous plants, marine life and/or ticks). GC will use reasonable care and skill to run the GC event and provide a Venue that is fit and suitable for the GC event taking into account the nature of the Inherent Risks.

I further understand and acknowledge that any of the Inherent Risks and other risks, not specifically named, may cause injury or injuries that may be categorised as minor, serious, or catastrophic. Minor injuries are common and include, but are not limited to: scrapes, bruises, cuts, grazes, abrasions, sprains, strains, muscle tension and soreness, dizziness, fainting, nausea, sunburn and electrolyte imbalance. Serious injuries are less common, but do sometimes occur. They include, but are not limited to: property loss or damage, broken bones, fractures, dislocations, torn ligaments and tendons, exposure, dehydration, heat exhaustion and other heat-related illnesses, hyperthermia, hypothermia, mental stress or exhaustion, infection, vomiting, , concussion, loss of consciousness, seizures, electric shock and/or injury and neurological disorders/pain. Catastrophic injuries are rare; however, we feel that our participants should be aware of the possibility. These injuries can include, but are not limited to: permanent disabilities, stroke, single or multiple organ failure or dysfunction, physical damage to organs, spinal injuries, paralysis, heart attack, heart failure, brain swelling, and even death.

​

I understand that it is my responsibility to consult with my doctor (“GP”) prior to participating in the GC event to ensure that I am fit and well enough to take part and that my participation will not pose any unusual or serious risks to my health and well-being.

​

If I believe or become aware that any aspects of the GC event course, facilities or equipment are unsafe or pose unreasonable risks, I agree to immediately notify appropriate GC and/or Venue personnel. I and Parent/Guardian accept that I am fully and solely responsible for the condition and adequacy all of my own equipment that I bring to the Venue.

​

I understand fully the Inherent Risks involved in the GC event and I assert that I am willingly and voluntarily participating in the GC event and Parent/Guardian asserts that he/she is willingly and voluntarily permitting his/her Minor’s participation in the GC event. I have read the preceding paragraphs and acknowledge that: 1) I understand the nature of the GC event; 2) I understand the demands of the activities at the GC event relative to my physical condition; 3) I appreciate the potential impact of the types of injuries that may result from my participation in the GC event; 4) I hereby confirm that I knowingly assume all of the Inherent Risks of the GC event; and 5) I understand that GC recommends that I check that I have health insurance to cover any injuries I may suffer as a result of participating in the GC event.

​

Limitation of Liability: I and Parent/Guardian hereby forever waive, release, covenant not to Claim, and discharge GC and the other Released Parties from any and all Claims arising out of my participation in the GC event:

​

1) resulting from the Inherent Risks e.g. for personal injury (including death) including injury caused during practice runs, the GC event, and while at the Venue location (including, but not limited to the base area, stands, pavements, parking areas, sponsor promotions, toilet facilities and dressing facilities); and/or

2) resulting from damage to, loss of, or theft of my property during the GC event;

EXCEPT THAT nothing in this Agreement shall limit or exclude either GC or the Released Parties’ liability for: (i) death or personal injury resulting from its negligence; (ii) breach of statutory duty; (iii) criminal acts; (iv) fraud; (v) or any liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law.

​

Indemnity: I hereby agree to reimburse GC and the other Released Parties in respect of: 1) any and all Claims made by any Releasing Party arising out of my participation in the GC event resulting from the Inherent Risks e.g., for personal injury, including death, (including injury caused during practice runs and while at the Venue) and/or from damage to, loss of, or theft of my property during the GC event; and2) any and all Claims of other participants, rescuers, and others arising from my failure to comply with the Rules and/or my reckless conduct in the course of my participation in the GC event;

EXCEPT FOR Claims arising from either GC or the Released Parties’ liability for: (i) death or personal injury resulting from its negligence; (ii) breach of statutory duty; (iii) criminal acts; (iv) fraud; (i) or any liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law.

The Limitation of Liability and Indemnity provisions in this Agreement shall survive the end of the GC event.

Venue and Jurisdiction: I understand that if legal action is brought in connection with this Agreement or its subject matter, the courts of England and Wales shall have the sole and exclusive jurisdiction over the action and that only the substantive laws of England and Wales shall apply.

​

Severability: I understand and agree that this Agreement is intended to be as broad and inclusive as is permitted by laws of England and Wales and that if any court or competent authority finds that any provision of this Agreement (or part of any provision) is invalid, unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision or part-provision shall, to the extent required, be deemed to be deleted from this Agreement, and the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected.

​

Entire Agreement: This Agreement supersedes any and all previous oral or written promises or agreements. I and Parent/Guardian each understand that this is the entire Agreement between me and GC relating to its subject matter, and cannot be modified or changed in any way by representations or statements by any agent or employee of GC. I and Parent/Guardian each agree that this Agreement may only be amended by a written document duly executed by GC and I on giving me at least 30 days written notice prior to the date of the GC event. If I do not agree to the amended terms of this Agreement I must let GC know in writing at least 7 days before the date of the GC event (“Refusal”) and I acknowledge that I shall not be permitted to take part in the GC event. In these circumstances the entry fee that I have paid shall be refunded to me within 30 days of the date of my Refusal. If I do not send GC a Refusal I shall be deemed to have accepted the amended terms of this Agreement. For the purpose of this provision a reference to “writing” includes email.
