1. ASSUMPTION OF RISK
I acknowledge that participating in fitness activities, including but not limited to running, jumping, lifting, stretching, or any physical exertion, carries inherent risks of injury, including serious injury, illness, permanent disability, or death, as well as property damage.

I understand that Florida law (Fla. Stat. § 744.301 and relevant case law) generally enforces clear and unambiguous waivers signed knowingly and voluntarily. I further understand this release applies to any claims arising out of COVID-19 or any communicable disease exposure during the event.
