I assume all risks associated with running this event, all risks being known and appreciated by me. Having read this waiver and knowing these facts and in consideration of your accepting my entry into this running event, I, for myself and anyone entitled to act on my behalf, waive and release Corrigan Sports Enterprises, the Finished Product, Maryland Stadium Authority, their offices, directors, agents, volunteers and employees, Baltimore City, Mayor and City Council, Department of Public Works, Recreation and Parks of Baltimore City, all sponsors, their representatives and successors, from all claims or liabilities of any kind arising out of my participation in this event even though that liability may arise out of negligence or carelessness on the part of the persons or entities named in this waiver. I grant permission to all of the foregoing to use my photographs, motion pictures, recordings, videos or any other recording of this event for legitimate purpose.

We all know that injuries often arise during training after we have registered for a race. The Baltimore Running Festival has different options should this happen to you. We ask that you make your decision as early as you can to avoid issues and possible loss of fees.

DEFERMENT
If you become injured and cannot participate in the Baltimore Running Festival in any capacity in 2009, you may defer your race entry until 2010. There is a $25 processing fee to do so. To take advantage of this offer, please mail a note stating your request along with a check payable to the Baltimore Marathon to the address listed at the bottom of this website. (This process cannot be completed via email or phone as we need written confirmation and payment to process your request.) Your deferment confirmation will be listed on our online confirmation page. In early 2010, you will receive a customized race application that you must return to the event headquarters to complete the process. ALL DEFERMENT REQUESTS MUST BE RECEIVED WITH PAYMENT BY OCT 1st.

DOWNGRADE
If you cannot complete the distance you registered for but would still like to participate in the Baltimore Running Festival, you may downgrade to a lesser distance. You will not be given a refund for the difference in entry fee. To do so, please call (410.605.9381) or email (customerservice@corrigansports.com) your request and we will make the change in the system. Your new race confirmation will be listed on our online confirmation page.
