All entries are non-refundable. Once we receive and accept your entry, you will not receive a refund if you cannot participate, nor will you receive a refund, credit or transfer if the event is cancelled, shortened, rescheduled or altered in any way due to weather or for any other reason, including, but not limited to, natural disturbances, police activity, acts/threats of terrorism, or other reasons beyond the reasonable control of the Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon. If legal requirements, events or other incidents make the Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon and/or its associated events impracticable to perform, illegal or impossible to perform, as determined by us, then we will have the right to cancel the Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon and its associated events, and you will not be entitled to receive a refund, credit or transfer.
I have read and understand the Refund Policy and Waiver, Assumption of Risk, Release of Liability and Indemnity Agreement. By submitting this form, I acknowledge that I know that running a road race, including running or participating in the Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon is a potentially hazardous activity. I understand and agree that I should not and will not enter and run in this event unless I am medically able and properly trained. I certify that I am physically fit and have sufficiently trained and prepared for participation in the event and have not been advised otherwise by a qualified medical professional. I agree that it is my sole responsibility to determine whether I am sufficiently fit and healthy enough to participate in this event. I know that there will be a possibility of traffic on the Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon course. I assume the risk of running in traffic. I also assume any and all other risks associated with running and participating in this event including, but not limited to falls, contact with other participants, volunteers, race officials, and sponsors, and the effects of the weather, including high heat and/or humidity and/or rain, extreme cold, snow, sleet, ice, and hail, and the conditions of the roads, all such risks being known and appreciated by me. I understand that these risks may be caused in whole or in part by my own actions or inactions, the actions or inactions of others participating in the event, or the acts, inaction or ordinary negligence of the Released Parties defined below, and I hereby voluntarily and willingly assume all such risks and any other damages, liabilities, losses or expenses to my person or personal property which I incur as a result of my participation in the event. I agree to yield to all emergency vehicles. I also am fully aware that wheels of any kind, except hand crank, push rim and standard wheelchairs are strictly prohibited. Baby strollers are allowed in the 5K and Kids Marathon only but must start in the back corral. Animals are strictly prohibited, and I agree not to have them on the course. Furthermore, I agree not to go back onto the course after finishing. Knowing these facts, and in consideration of your accepting my entry, I hereby for myself, my heirs, my estate, executors, administrators or anyone else who might claim on my behalf, covenant not to sue, and waive and release and discharge, and agree to hold harmless any and all race sponsors, race officials, volunteers, local and state police, and all municipalities including any and all of their agents, employees, assigns, the Oklahoma City National Memorial Foundation, Inc., the Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon, Event Southwest, USA Track & Field, or anyone acting for or on their behalf, including each of their respective affiliated companies, officers, directors, members, trustees, partners and volunteers (collectively, the “Released Parties”) from any and all claims, liability, damages, demands, causes of action, losses or expense (including court costs and reasonable attorney’s fees) of any kind or nature (“Liability”) from my use of, presence at or participation in the event, which may arise out of, result from or relate to the ordinary negligence of the Released Parties, including without limitation, any and all Liabilities for death, personal injury or property damage or property theft of any kind or nature. I further agree that if, despite this agreement, I, or anyone on my behalf, makes a claim for Liability against any of the Released Parties, I will indemnify, defend and hold harmless each of the Released Parties from any such Liability which may be incurred as the result of such claim.
This release and waiver extends to all claims and Liabilities of every kind or nature whatsoever, foreseen or unforeseen, known or unknown.

I am agreeing to this agreement freely and voluntarily, without any inducement, assurance or guarantee, and intend for my electronic agreement to this agreement to serve as confirmation of my complete and unconditional acceptance of the terms, conditions and provisions of this agreement. This agreement shall be construed broadly to provide an assumption of risks, waiver, release of liability and indemnity to the maximum extent permissible under applicable law. If any provision of this agreement is held to be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from this agreement and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.
