Race Waiver Form

If you are picking up a race packet for a friend, the below waiver appears on ALL race entry forms and MUST be signed by ALL participants to enter ANY race. (If you registered on-line, you automatically signed the waiver). If you are unsure that your party has signed this form, please print it out and have it signed.

I, ____________________________ (name of the participant) know that running is a potentially hazardous activity. I should not enter and run unless I am physically fit, medically able and properly trained. I agree to abide by any decision of a race official relative to my ability to safely complete the run. I hereby certify I am in good health, and I have trained to run the distance of the race that I am entering. 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. I understand that bicycles, skate boards, baby joggers, roller skates or inline skates, animals and music devices of any type are not allowed in this event and I will abide by this rule.

Signature of the Participant: ________________________________

(Parent/Guardian signature required if participant is less than 18 years old)

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 2007, you may defer your race entry until 2008. There is a $20 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 2007, 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. We encourage you to make this decision early as possible as WE CANNOT ADD RUNNERS TO AN EVENT ONCE ITS CAPACITY HAS BEEN REACHED.

The Baltimore Running Festival does not allow for refunds or transfers of entry fee.

Although we would love to admit everyone who wants to participate in the Baltimore Running Festival, we feel it is extremely important that we control the number of runners who participate each year. Our “smart growth” plan will allow all parties— the citizens, businesses, civil servants, and most importantly you the runner— to fully enjoy the event and not feel overcrowded or over burdened. Logistics also requires us to limit the field, as we have to pre-order the race bibs, finisher medals and shirts far in advance of race day.

We anticipate that the several races will sell out prior to race day. With that in mind, here is our policy and other important information for those runners who are placed on the waitlist:

1) The wait list is generated on a first-come first serve basis, based on when we received your entry form. No entry fee will be charged unless you are accepted into the race.  The best way to submit your application is to print one from our website and fax it to 410.605.9389.

2) By Friday, Sept 14, all pre-reserved charity and sponsor entries are due and will be processed. Spots that are not used by this date will be immediately opened up to those on the waitlist. You will receive a confirmation email by close of business on Monday if you are admitted via this process.

3) Additional spots may become available due to dropouts, deferments, or downgrades. Once a spot becomes available, we will select the next person on the waitlist. Your credit card will be processed and you will receive an email confirmation that you have been admitted.

4) At any time, if you decide that you no longer want to remain on the waitlist PLEASE CONTACT US IMMEDIATELY TO AVOID CREDIT CARD CHARGES. Your card will be processed as soon as a space becomes available for you unless you pull your name from the waitlist.

5) The waitlist process will remain in affect until Oct. 8th

Online registration will close prior to the race being full. In order to closely monitor the registrations as we approach the field limit, we will stop online registration when there is 250 spots remaining. At this time, only faxed (410.605.9389) or mailed entries will be accepted.
