Assumption of Risk

I am aware that my attendance at the 2025 Heart Month in support of the Mazankowski Alberta Heart Institute (“Heart Month”), and my participation in certain organized activities at the move-a-thon, involves certain known and unknown risks, dangers and hazards including, but not limited to: equipment failure, failure to properly adjust or fasten equipment, improper use of equipment, slips, falls, over-exertion, negligence of others and negligence on the part of the releasees (as defined below), including the failure on the part of the releasees to take reasonable steps to safeguard or protect me from the risks, dangers and hazards of participating in the spin-a-thon. I freely accept and fully assume, without limitation, all such risks, dangers and hazards associated with my participation in the camp and the possibility of personal injury, death, property damage and loss resulting therefrom.

Release of liability

I certify that I am physically fit and have not been advised against participation in the Heart Month by a qualified health professional.
I HAVE READ THIS AGREEMENT THOROUGHLY. I UNDERSTAND THAT BY AGREEING TO THESE STATEMENTS, I AM WAIVING CERTAIN LEGAL RIGHTS WHICH I, MY HEIRS, ASSIGNS, EXECUTORS, ADMINISTRATORS AND NEXT OF KIN MAY HAVE AGAINST THE RELEASEES, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO SUE. I HAVE FREELY AND VOLUNTARILY ELECTED TO SIGN THIS AGREEMENT.
