Submission of this Waiver, Code of Conduct, and Release is a condition precedent to participation on the Spokane Swifts Running Team. As a member of the Spokane Swifts Running Team (dba Spokane Swifts Running Club), I _____________, am about to voluntarily participate in a series of running activities organized, and operated by the Spokane Swifts Running Team, and understand and acknowledge it is my responsibility, and a team requirement, to attend official team practices at least one (1) time per month, with the exception of December, and months with potentially-hazardous weather, in which organized practices will be cancelled. I hereby agree to accept and abide by the terms of this Membership Agreement. I understand that this membership agreement is for a term of twelve (12) months. I understand it is my responsibility as a member of the Spokane Swifts Running Team, that I must: • Be respectful to all teammates and acknowledge the accomplishments and efforts of others. • Choose your words carefully! Refrain from talking negatively about other team members. • Encourage all members, teammates and opponents to excel. • Whenever possible, be charitable and give back to the running community by volunteering or other activities. Any alleged violation by a club member or members of any portion of the waiver or code of conduct will be brought to the attention of the Board of Directors. Any act that is determined to be detrimental to the Spokane Swifts Running Team’s goals and mission not specifically covered above will be considered a violation. Violations will be discussed at the monthly scheduled board meeting in a closed session and (may) will be voted upon. Termination of membership may result by a simple majority vote of the board, and any dues paid are considered non-refundable. A member who has his/her membership terminated will be notified by the board within 30 days of the meeting in writing. Members of the Spokane Swifts Running Team will not be terminated if they do not meet with monthly practice requirements due to an excusable injury, illness, or pregnancy, upon notifying a member of the Spokane Swifts Running Team board.

As a member participating on the Spokane Swifts Running Team, its related events and activities, I, the undersigned, acknowledge, appreciate, and agree that: The risk of injury from the activities involved in this program is significant, and while particular skills, equipment, and personal discipline may reduce this risk, the risk of serious injury or death does exist. I knowingly and freely assume all such risks, both known and unknown, including the effects of weather, that include but not limited to high heat and/or humidity, snow, ice, or freezing temperatures, and the condition of the roads and traffic, even if arising from the negligence of the releases or others, and assume full responsibility for my participation. I willingly agree to comply with the stated and customary terms and conditions for participation. If, however, I observe any unusual significant hazard during my presence or participation, I will remove myself from participation and bring such to the attention of the Spokane Swifts Running Team board members immediately. I, for myself and on behalf of my heirs, assigns, personal representatives and next of kin, hereby release, indemnify, and hold harmless the Spokane Swifts Running Team, coaches, volunteers, officers, families, guests, attorneys, and assigns, the City of Spokane, and any and all sponsors, their representatives and successors ("Releasees"), with respect to any and all injury, disability, death, or loss or damage to person or property associated with my presence or participation, whether arising from the negligence of the releases or otherwise, to the fullest extent permitted by law. I attest that I am in good health and physically capable of participating in the Spokane Swifts Running Team, and my medical care provider has approved my participation. Further, I hereby release, consent to, and authorize, in advance, any such use of my name, photograph, video, voice or likeness by the foregoing parties in any manner they deem appropriate, including social media, and necessary without remuneration to me. I HAVE CAREFULLY READ THIS WAIVER AND RELEASE AND FULLY UNDERSTAND ITS CONTENTS.
