DISCLAIMER NOTICE

Personal Risks:

The Event is hosted outdoors and you as the potential participant must assess the additional risks associated with it being an outdoor event. You may injure yourself and/or others while participating in the Event and the injury may cause permanent paralysis or death depending on its severity. The following list of physical injuries shall serve as an example of typical risks related to the Event: sprains; strains; fractures; abrasions; spinal injuries; infections; strokes and heart attacks. These can be caused, among other things by the following behaviour or circumstances

(i) accidents while running (the running route is off road and undulating) and performing the individual workouts;

(ii) contact or collision with other people or objects (e.g. with other athletes, spectators, marshals, workout equipment or barriers)

(iii) proximity to other people carrying symptom-free infection (e.g. transmission of bacterial or viral infectious diseases) and

(iv) problems related to the proper assessment and behaviours of yourself and of others (e.g. incorrect or inappropriate behaviours by yourself or the other participants, erroneous assessment by the marshals)

(v) heat related illnesses such as heat stroke or dehydration due to a failure to take on sufficient water/hydration. To minimise the risks Horsham Fitness has imposed the following rules:
