Waiver and Release

I wish to participate in the Team Shalva group that will be running in the 2025 
Jerusalem Marathon on Friday, April 4, 2025 in order to raise awareness and
critically needed funds that support the non-profit work of Shalva - The Israel

Association for the Care and Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities ("Shalva").  I
understand that while training for and participating in this event, I will be
traversing public streets and thoroughfares where potential hazards exist.  I
confirm that I am aware of and appreciate the risks that may result.  I am also
aware that accidents may occur during this event or during the training for this
event which could result in serious injury or death.  I am voluntarily participating
in this event and in the training for this event with knowledge of the dangers
involved and I agree to accept all risks of injury or death.
              
I have accepted the responsibility to raise the minimum fundraising requirement in
order to participate with the Team Shalva. 
 
If I am receiving a discounted fundraising goal as a result of participating in the
Team Shalva family group with one or more of my designated family members, I
agree and acknowledge that if all of my designated family members decline to
participate in the Team Shalva group, then my discount will be removed and I will
be obligated to raise the full amount indicated to me on the Team Shalva group
website.
 
To be eligible for a team group rate there must be a minimum of ten runners. If
runners who are part of a team group choose to forego their place, leaving the
group below the ten person minimum, fellow group runners will be required to
raise the regular minimum fundraising requirement for the departed runner, unless
otherwise agreed upon by the Team Shalva management.
 
By January 31, 2025, I will be asked to recommit to Team Shalva, and at that
time I will be required to secure my spot on the team with a personal credit card. 
All travel arrangements must be booked by January 31, 2025 to avoid
additional charges. The travel ticket and hotel accommodations may only be used
for Team Shalva 2025.  Once I have recommitted, I will be responsible to provide
all funds collected, whether checks or by credit card, on or before the fundraising
deadline of March 24, 2025 and I authorize Shalva to charge the credit card
submitted during my recommitment for any balance that remains due in order to
meet the required fundraising minimum established for this event. If my credit card
is so charged, I understand that I have until May 1, 2025 to provide additional
donations and to receive a refund.
 
Once I recommit I am aware that if for any reason I am not able to participate in
the event, I will still honor my obligation to raise the fundraising minimum
established for the event. I agree to abide by any decision of a Jerusalem marathon

official or Team Shalva official relative to any aspect of my participation in this
event, including the right of any official to deny or suspend my participation for
any reason whatsoever.
 
I assume all risks associated with running in this event, including but not limited
to: falls; contact with other participants, spectators or others, or vehicular or other
traffic; the effects of the weather, including heat and humidity, wind, cold
temperature, and wet or icy surfaces; falling tree branches or other overhead
objects; traffic; and the crowded nature and other conditions of the road, including
surface conditions such as slipperiness, holes or obstacles and acts of terrorism or
other violent acts, all such risks being known and appreciated by me.
 
I understand that bicycles, skateboards, baby joggers, roller skates or roller blades,
animals, and personal music players may not be allowed in the race and I will
abide by all race rules.
 
I grant medical personnel at the Jerusalem marathon permission to administer or
arrange for any medical assistance that they deem necessary or appropriate as a
result of my participation in the event, including without limitation, arranging
transportation to a hospital or other medical facility. 
 
Having read this waiver and release, and in consideration for being permitted to
participate in this event in support of Shalva, I, for myself and anyone entitled to
act on my behalf, agree to assume all risks and to release, hold harmless, and
covenant not to sue Shalva, Team Shalva, American Friends of Shalva Israel, Inc.,

the "Releasees"), from any present or future claim, loss or liability of any kind that
I may have arising out of my participation in and training for the event, including
bodily injury, death or property damage, whether caused by negligence or
carelessness of the Releasees or otherwise.
 
Furthermore, I, for myself and anyone entitled to act on my behalf, agree to waive
my rights and to discharge all the Releasees from all claims, losses, or liabilities

for death, bodily injury or property damage that I may have, or which may
hereafter accrue to me, as a result of my participation in this event, even though
that liability may arise from negligence or carelessness on the part of the
Releasees, from dangerous or defective property or equipment owned, maintained
or controlled by them or because of the possible liability without fault. I
understand and agree that the Waiver and Release is binding on my heirs, assigns
and legal representatives.
 
I agree to abide by the Team Shalva Code of Conduct during my stay with Team
Shalva but that Team Shalva bears no responsibility for any violation by me of the
Team Shalva Code of Conduct or the direct or indirect consequences thereof. I
affirm that I understand the risks associated with each of the foregoing.
 
Without limiting any other waivers and releases, I, for myself and anyone entitled
to act on my behalf, hereby agree that none of the Releasees are responsible for
any loss, damage, or injury to me or any of my belongings occurring while I am
with or accompanying Team Shalva and/or occurring as a direct or indirect result
of my violation of the Team Shalva Code of Conduct.
 
I am physically capable of training for and completing this event. If I am aware of
or under treatment for any physical infirmity, ailment or illness, my medical care
provider knows of and has approved my training for and participation in this event.
I will maintain personal health insurance while training for and participating in the
event. I acknowledge that I and I alone am entirely responsible for my personal
health and safety and the personal property I bring with me.

refundable and non-transferable even if I do not participate in the event. 
 
I understand that my name, photograph, voice and/or likeness may be used by
Shalva, Team Shalva, and their sponsors, beneficiaries, licensees, affiliates and
employees. I consent to and authorize, in advance, such use without compensation
and waive all rights of privacy I have in connection therewith.
 
In order to maintain the prices stated in this agreement, Shalva reserves the right to
change accommodations and other components of the Team Shalva program.  By
agreeing, I affirm that I understand the risks associated with international travel
and that the Releasees are not responsible for any loss, damage, or injury to any of
the Team Shalva program participants or any belongings of that participant caused

directly or indirectly by Shalva suppliers or agencies, or by any airline, hotel,
common carrier, travel agency, or any other person or entity.   Shalva reserves the
right to limit participation based upon eligibility requirements, space limitations,
and other criteria that it may, in its sole discretion, determine.

event, shall be resolved by confidential, final and binding arbitration administered
by JAMS, The Resolution Experts ("JAMS"), and conducted in accordance with

neutral arbitrators provided by JAMS. The arbitrator shall have the authority to
award any remedies, including attorneys' fees and costs, available under applicable
law, except punitive or exemplary damages. I acknowledge that judgment upon the
award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction,

I have read and agree to adhere to the Team Shalva 2025 rules and protocols according to the above code of conduct.

I am a high school chaperone. In the event my high school team does not have 10 students enrolled in the team by November 25, 2024 I agree to raise CA $ by March 24, 2025.
I agree that my fundraising campaign will be carried out through run4shalva.org, and I will NOT use GoFundMe, Facebook Fundraise or similar.
