Timberline Events

In consideration for my registration in the 2010 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 is due with registration and is made with a credit card (left side of payment page), PayPal account (if you have a PayPal account, they will not accept credit card payment via the credit card link), or by check. If you elect to pay by check, your registration will not be official until your check is received.
• 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 2010 team after July 18th will result in a $10 penalty fee per runner - no exceptions.
• 5.- I understand that my team is responsible for picking one of the two volunteer options:
  • 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 volunteer(s) do not show up on time, my team will receive a time penalty. If our team does not supply the required volunteer(s), we understand we will not be permitted to start. If our volunteer(s) does not show up at their selected assignment, I understand our team will be 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. This is a much easier way to go - you don't have to find volunteers, you don't have to worry about their plans changing the week of the relay and not being available to help you out, and you won't have to worry about what time of day or night their assignment will be. Plus, you will be making a much appreciated donation to a local non-profit organization.

  Please initial your understanding and agreement of the volunteer requirement.

• 6.- I understand my team must be able to complete the course within the 35-hour (35:00) 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 held on public roads - there are no road closures, traffic control, or aid stations. Teams are self-supporting! 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 WWR, that they follow them, and 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. I also understand that the WWR, for safety concerns, has a No Headphones policy and immediate disqualification will result for the entire team for any active runner caught wearing headphones or earbuds (iPods, etc.). This rule is due to the course be on open roads where there is traffic, and is a rule enforced in other events held on open roads such as triathlons.
  
  

  Please initial your understanding and agreement of team etiquette, needing to follow traffic laws, and the No Headphones policy. You also agree that if your team is disqualified for any rule infractions, your team will depart from the race in an orderly manner.

• 10.- For complete information, visit the WWR website at www.WildWestRelay.com

Only teams choosing Volunteer Option #2 for the non-profit volunteers are required to make a tax-deductible donation to Volunteers With A Purpose based on the following schedule:

*A team can decide to change from Volunteer Option #1 to Volunteer Option #2 up until 2 months before race day without penalty - you need to contact the race director to make this switch.

**Only if non-profit volunteers are available.

*** Teams who selected the option to supply their volunteers may choose to make a donation for individual non-profit volunteers if they are having problems filling their requirement. This option is only available if non-profit volunteers are available. The first price is if the request is made less than two months but more than three weeks before race day; the second price is if request is made within three weeks of race day.

As the Captain entering a team into the WWR, I agree to and understand all that has been stated above.
