Considering that MEM DAC accepts this entry from me, I acknowledge that I enter the Marathon entirely at my own risk. 2. I hereby release MEM DAC from any liability arising from any loss, damage or injury (including fatal injury) suffered by me before, during or after the Marathon. I hereby waive any rights and claims for damages or compensation from MEM DAC (including its employees, agents, officers, governors, sponsors and volunteers, and their representatives, successors, and assigns) arising from any loss, injury (including fatal injury) suffered by me before during or after the Marathon. This waiver and release are binding on my estate and my heirs. 3. I acknowledge that I am responsible for understanding the risks of running a marathon and determining whether I am fit enough and strong enough to safely run or walk the Marathon. 4. I attest and certify that I am physically fit, injury free and have sufficiently trained to complete the Marathon. I acknowledge that MEM DAC recommends that I undergo a medical check-up with my physician before starting the Marathon to determine if I am at risk from any underlying health issues which a marathon may aggravate. 5. I agree to abide by all rules and guidelines of the Marathon and not to cover, alter, reproduce or transfer my race number or alter or transfer my timing and scoring chip. I acknowledge that to do so will result in my and my transferee’s disqualification from this and future competitions organised by MEM DAC. 6. I accept and acknowledge that the Entry fee is NON-REFUNDABLE, (outside our refund window) and entries are NON-TRANSFERABLE to another event even if the Marathon is postponed, altered, shortened, lengthened or cancelled. I will not sell my race entry or offer it to another person free of charge if I cannot participate. 7. I accept and acknowledge if the Marathon is postponed, altered, shortened, lengthened or cancelled that, MEM DAC has no obligation to me for any costs and expenses that I may incur pertaining to my planned participation, whether for travel, lodging, meals or any otherwise. I accept and acknowledge there are no exceptions to this policy and that I will not ask for an exception to be made for me. 8. I hereby grant full permission to MEM DAC or any of its service providers to use photographs, films or recordings of the Marathon for any legitimate purpose without recourse to me, and I at this moment, release any right I may have to my image while taking part in the Marathon or at the start line or finish area. 9. I understand and acknowledge that this waiver includes any claims, whether caused by negligence, omission, action or inaction of MEM DAC or any of its service providers. 10. I acknowledge that I have been afforded the opportunity to take legal advice before entering the Marathon. If I choose not to do that, I will not later seek to rely on the fact that I did not understand this declaration and waiver. 11. I agree that any legal claim or dispute arising out of or in any way relating to my participation in this event will be governed by Republic Ireland’s laws and adjudicated exclusively by and in the Courts of the Republic of Ireland.
