Please read carefully before signing. This is a legally binding document.

Important: By signing this waiver, you are giving up certain legal rights, including the right to sue for injuries or damages. Read fully before agreeing.

1. Assumption of Risk

I, the undersigned Athlete, acknowledge and understand that marathon training and distance running involve inherent risks, including but not limited to:

  • Musculoskeletal injuries including strains, sprains, stress fractures, and overuse injuries
  • Cardiovascular events including abnormal heart rhythms and, in rare cases, cardiac arrest
  • Heat-related illness, dehydration, and hyponatremia
  • Falls, accidents, and injuries caused by road, trail, or weather conditions
  • Psychological stress associated with high-volume training

I voluntarily assume all such risks, whether known or unknown, and accept full responsibility for any injury, illness, or loss that may result from participation in a training program provided by Ndur.

2. Medical Clearance

I confirm that I have consulted with, or will consult with, a licensed physician prior to beginning this training program. I represent that I am in suitable physical condition to undertake marathon training and am not aware of any medical condition that would make participation inadvisable. I agree to immediately notify Ndur and seek medical attention if I experience any unusual symptoms during training.

3. Release of Liability

In consideration of Ndur providing coaching services to me, I hereby release, waive, discharge, and covenant not to sue Ndur, its owners, coaches, employees, agents, and affiliates (collectively, "Released Parties") from any and all claims, demands, damages, rights of action, or causes of action arising from:

  • Participation in any training activities prescribed or recommended by Ndur
  • Any injury, illness, death, or property damage resulting from such participation
  • The negligence of the Released Parties, to the fullest extent permitted by law

I agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Released Parties from any loss, liability, damage, or cost they may incur arising out of or related to my participation in training activities, including reasonable attorneys' fees.

5. Emergency Medical Authorization

In the event of an emergency where I am unable to provide consent, I authorize Ndur to seek emergency medical assistance on my behalf. I agree to be responsible for all costs associated with such medical care.

6. Acknowledgment of Independent Judgment

I acknowledge that I am free to modify, reduce, or stop any prescribed training at any time based on my own physical condition and judgment. Ndur's training recommendations are guidance only, and I retain sole responsibility for decisions about my own body and training.

7. Severability

If any provision of this waiver is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

8. Voluntary Agreement

I have read this Liability Waiver and Release in its entirety, I understand its contents, and I sign it voluntarily and of my own free will. I am at least 18 years of age, or if a minor, my parent or legal guardian has signed on my behalf.
