In consideration for my registration in the 2008 Wild West Relay (hereinafter “WWR”), I understand and agree to the following:

1. As correspondence is exclusively via email, the captain must provide an accurate email address. Except for High School teams, the Captain must be a running member of the team. High School Teams can utilize an adult or coach as the main contact person.

2. Payment must be in full for for the registration to be complete and can be made in one of two ways: a check made out to Timberline Events LLC can be mailed with the Entry Form, or payment can be made online with a credit card or a PayPal account (additional fees apply). Online payment must be received or checks must be postmarked by the last date in each time period to qualify for that registration rate.

3. The minimum age for participants is fourteen (14) years of age. Participants between the ages of fourteen (14) and eighteen (18), as well as their parent or guardian, must sign the waiver of liability.

4. Any runner substitution or additions made to your 2008 team after July 11th, 2008 will result in a $10 penalty fee per runner.

Option #1- Supply volunteers: Each 12-person team will supply three volunteers. Ultra and Super-Ultra teams supply one. The volunteer requirement is waived for High School teams. I understand that if our volunteers do not show up on time, my team will be penalized or disqualified.

Option #2- Donation to Volunteers With A Purpose - funds will go to local non-profit organizations who will supply volunteers as a fund-raising opportunity for their organization.

*If after having submitted their registration, a team decides to change from Volunteer Option #1 to Volunteer Option #2.
**Only if non-profit volunteers are available.

Please initial your understanding and agreement of the volunteer requirement.

6. I understand my team must be able to complete the course within the 34-hour (34:00) time limit (a team average of a 10 1/2 minute per mile pace).

Please initial your understanding and agreement of the team time restriction.

7. I understand that once registration is paid for, the registration fee is non-refundable and non-transferable. However, a new captain can be designated from within the team roster. I also understand that waivers (Acknowledgement And Assumption Of Risk And Release And Indemnity Agreement) will need to be signed and submitted by all runners and if applicable, volunteers and van drivers.

Please initial your understanding and agreement of the waiver requirement and the refund policy.

8. I understand that the course for the WWR is is held on public roads - there are no road closures, traffic control, or aid stations. All members of your team must be made aware that there will be vehicle traffic at all times and several of the Exchange Points are along busy roads. I also understand and will inform my team that any road hazards along the course are NOT marked, the route goes through National Forests and other unpopulated areas where wildlife lives, and that there are cattle guards and areas of open range (livestock not fenced in) so caution is required from all runners and drivers.

In consideration of this, Timberline Events LLC will do everything in its power to hold the relay as advertised, but due to the nature of the event, extenuating circumstances not under the control of the event organizers, may necessitate course changes for the safety of the participants. These circumstances include, but are not limited to: weather and other forces of nature, last minute road closures and construction, or forest fires. I also understand that the WWR route is both rural and isolated and that 911 emergency treatment will not be immediately available.

Please initial your understanding and agreement of the public nature of the roads of the WWR course, and of the rural location and conditions that exist on and in the area of the WWR route, and possible course changes if circumstances call for it.

9. I understand that as the captain I am responsible for informing my team of the rules of the GMR and that they follow them, as well as for the behavior of my team. This includes, but is not limited to respect for all participants and volunteers, quiet zones in or near residential areas, that team vehicles and runners are not exempt from state and local traffic laws, and that private property is being used by the WWR and must be respected. Failure to abide by the relay rules may, at the discretion of the race director, result in immediate disqualification.

Please initial your understanding and agreement of team etiquette and needing to follow traffic laws.
