Assumption of Inherent Risks:

The Relish The Great Outdoors Ltd event (hereafter referred to as the “Relish The Great Outdoors Ltd event”) is meant to be an extreme test of toughness, strength, stamina, camaraderie, and mental grit.

All routes have been fully and carefully risk assessed and all steps have been taken to reduce the likelihood of an injuries, but they can not be completely eliminated. I understand the hazards, risks and the challenging nature of the event that I am entering. I am medically fit to take part, I do so of my own volition and at my own risk. I am willing to take full responsibility for any injury that may be sustained and in extreme circumstances death. If I am not willing to accept liability for this the I will not participate in the event. Relish The Great Outdoors Ltd has a duty of care to the participants and spectators and nothing in the disclaimer exempts us from negligence which may lead to injury or death.

As well as running, some of the events may also include scrambling, military or agility style obstacles (for example cargo nets, spring loaded agility poles, hopscotch hoops, agility steps), crossing or swimming of cold water rivers or lakes and traversing muddy, swampy and boggy areas. The colourburst runs include the throwing of powder paint which may go in participants eyes, nose and mouth and forms a fine powder once the paint is thrown in the air.  Animals, livestock and wildlife may well be present on race routes. In summary, the Relish The Great Outdoors Ltd event is a hazardous activity that presents a tough physical and mental challenge to participants.

I and Parent/Guardian acknowledge that the Relish The Great Outdoors Ltd event is an extreme test of my physical and mental limits that carries with it inherent risks of physical injury. Inherent risks are risks that cannot be eliminated completely (without changing the challenging nature of the Relish The Great Outdoors Ltd event) regardless of the care, measures and precautions taken by Relish The Great Outdoors Ltd and are further described below (“Inherent Risks”).

I and Parent/Guardian also understand that the Relish The Great Outdoors Ltd event is an extremely strenuous event and that there are risks and dangers generally in taking part in such activities. I and Parent/Guardian understand that these hazards may be magnified due to the fact that the Relish The Great Outdoors Ltd event is often conducted under what may be extreme weather conditions and circumstances.

I and Parent/Guardian understand and acknowledge that the Inherent Risks include, but are not limited to: 1) my contact or collision with other persons or objects (e.g. with spectators or course personnel, other participants, motor vehicles, machinery, or natural or man-made fixed objects or obstacles); 2) my encounter with Relish The Great Outdoors Ltd event obstacles (e.g. natural and man-made water, road and surface obstacles, close proximity and/or contact with thick smoke and open flames, barbed wire, pipes, and electric shocks); 3) extremely challenging course conditions; 4) weather-related hazards (e.g. extreme heat, extreme cold, humidity, snow, ice, rain, fog); 5) judgment and/or behaviour related problems by me during the event; 6) erratic or inappropriate behaviour by other participants and/or spectators; and 7) natural hazards (e.g. sliding down hills, trips and slips, falling rocks, uneven terrain, lightning strikes, earthquakes, animal/livestock/wildlife attacks, contact with poisonous plants, marine life and/or ticks). Relish The Great Outdoors Ltd will use reasonable care and skill to run the Relish The Great Outdoors Ltd event and provide a Venue that is fit and suitable for the Relish The Great Outdoors Ltd event taking into account the nature of the Inherent Risks.

Baggage, belongings, vehicles and bikes are left at my own risk and I will not hold the Released Parties liable for any loss or damage. Relish The Great Outdoors Ltd will use reasonable care to ensure all possessions are secure during the duration of the event.

The undersigned acknowledges and understands that exposure to disease causing organisms, such as COVID-19 and other viral, bacterial, microorganisms and pathogens, and that personal contact with others, including but not limited to participants, non-participants, organisers, volunteers, onlookers and other individuals in the event involves a certain degree of risk that could result in illness, permanent disability or death

I and Parent/Guardian further understand and acknowledge that any of the Inherent Risks and other risks, not specifically named, may cause injury or injuries that may be categorised as minor, serious, or catastrophic.

Minor injuries are common and include, but are not limited to: scrapes, bruises, cuts, grazes, abrasions, sprains, strains, muscle tension and soreness, dizziness, fainting, nausea, sunburn and electrolyte imbalance.

Serious injuries are less common, but do sometimes occur. They include, but are not limited to, property loss or damage, broken bones, fractures, dislocations, torn ligaments and tendons, exposure, dehydration, heat exhaustion and other heat-related illnesses, hyperthermia, hypothermia, mental stress or exhaustion, infection, vomiting, concussion, loss of consciousness, seizures, electric shock and/or injury and neurological disorders/pain.

Catastrophic injuries are rare; however, we feel that our participants should be aware of the possibility. These injuries can include, but are not limited to, permanent disabilities, stroke, single or multiple organ failure or dysfunction, physical damage to organs, spinal injuries, paralysis, heart attack, heart failure, brain swelling, and even death.

I and Parent/Guardian understand that it is my and Parent/Guardian's responsibility to consult with my doctor (“GP”) prior to participating in the Relish The Great Outdoors Ltd event to ensure that I am fit and well enough to take part and that my participation will not pose any unusual or serious risks to my health and well-being.
