Ultimate Hike – Superior Hiking Trail Recommitment 2025

I, (the “Participant”) intending to be legally bound, understand and agree that I am voluntarily participating in CureSearch’s Ultimate Hike program (the “Program”) and all of its activities including, but not limited to training for and participating in the Program at my own request and at my own risk. I acknowledge that I am aware of the risks inherent in training for and participating in the Program and certify that I am physically fit, have not been otherwise informed by any physician and know of no restrictions imposed on me by a physician that would in any way prevent me from actively participating in the Program. I acknowledge the CureSearch for Children’s Cancer recommends that all Ultimate Hikers consult a physician before participating in the Program. I further state that I will actively train for the program and generally follow the suggested training regimen from CureSearch. If at any time during my participation in the Program, I am told that my continued partition is not medically advisable by either a physician or Ultimate Hike Staff, I will discontinue participation. In consideration of CureSearch’s sponsorship of this Program, and my being permitted to participate in the Program, I, on behalf of myself, my successors in interest, heirs, assigns and representatives, hereby fully release and hold harmless CureSearch and its chapters, their Officers, Trustees, agents, employees, volunteers and any medical providers working for or on behalf of the Program and representatives, successors and assigns (be they individuals or organizations), together with their insurers and sponsors, of and from any and all liability, claims, damages, actions and causes of action whatsoever on account of any and all loss, known or unknown, damage or injury to person (including death) or any other loss to person or property or inconvenience whatsoever, suffered by me at any time hereafter arising from my voluntary participation in this Program, whether resulting from CureSearch’s negligence or otherwise (collectively, “Liabilities”). I also understand that hikers will be required to maintain a minimum pace while on the course, and I will be moved ahead if I cannot maintain the minimum pace required. I also hereby give permission to CureSearch touse without charge my name, picture and voice in any broadcast, telecast, print account or any medium of this Program (the “Personal Release”). I understand that this Personal Release is perpetual in time and that it encompasses, without limitation, any copyright or right of publicity or privacy that I have in my name, picture and voice. I represent and warrant that I am legally able to provide permission with respect to any minors or other third parties for which this policy may be applicable. I also hereby grant permission to CureSearch in connection with the Program (I)to render preventative or first-aid assistance or seek treatment or medical care that it seems reasonably necessary, including hospitalization, for my health and well being; (II)to use and disclose my personal health information (“PHI”) in min connection with the foregoing; and (iii) to use my PHI as necessary for other purposes related to my care and treatment. I also hereby grant my consent to CureSearch to give out my PHI to doctors, hospitals, ambulance companies, coaches, family members and others involved in such care and treatment. My PHI may also be used as necessary for the proper management and administration of CureSearch. I acknowledge that the nature of endurance events is unpredictable, and that extreme weather, fire, flood, mudslides, government shutdowns, low participation, widespread illness, and other factors may require CureSearch to alter, cancel, suspend, or otherwise change an event. If this happens, CureSearch staff will work diligently to find an acceptable solution. Event fees and funds raised are not refundable in these instances. This Release and Consent will be governed by and subject to laws (except the choice of law principles) and exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Maryland.

When registering for the Ultimate Hike, all hikers commit to raise a minimum of $2,500 for CureSearch for Children’s Cancer. These minimums are set to ensure that CureSearch keeps our program costs low, maintains our credibility to you and our donors and, most importantly, maximizes the funds we invest in vital pediatric cancer research.
