These risks are not only inherent to athletics, but are also present for volunteers. I hereby assume all of the risks of participating and/or volunteering in any event, program, race, or activities organized, operated, conducted or sanctioned by the Durham Mountain Bicycling Association (“DMBA”). I realize that liability may arise from negligence or carelessness on the part of the persons or entities being released, from dangerous or defective equipment or property owned, maintained or controlled by them or because of their possible liability without fault.
I certify that I am physically fit, have sufficiently trained for participation in the event and have not been advised otherwise by a qualified medical person.

I hereby consent to receive medical treatment that may be deemed advisable in the event of injury, accident, and/or illness during this event.
I understand that at this event or related activities, I may be photographed. I agree to allow my photo, video or film, likeness to be used for any legitimate
purpose by the DMBA, event holders, producers, sponsors, organizers and assigns.
The Accident Waiver and Release of Liability shall be construed broadly to provide a release and waiverto the maximum extent permissible under applicable law.
