2019 Gila Challenge, Waiver of Liability and Indemnity Agreement

I, the undersigned licensed driver, with valid current auto-owners insurance, acknowledge and understand that the 2019 Gila Challenge is an on-road and off-highway driving event. I am participating in the 2019 Gila Challenge voluntarily, and agree to hold no one but myself accountable for any damages, losses, injuries, or death which may arise as a result of participation in this event.

I understand the 2019 Gila Challenge is not a race and excessive speeding will not be tolerated, and objective times are designed to obey all traffic laws and posted signs. I further understand that off-highway driving can be an inherently dangerous activity which should only be undertaken by competent, experienced individuals. I acknowledge that, during the course of the 2019 Gila Challenge, I will almost certainly be subjecting myself to hazards above and beyond those encountered in everyday driving-related activities. I accept full and complete responsibility for my own safety during the rally. I am fully aware that driving under the best of conditions, let alone adverse road, light, weather, rider, and traffic conditions is inherently dangerous, and could result in injury, or death. I knowingly and voluntarily accept these risks, and the responsibilities, which I may incur or which I may cause to another, as a condition of participation in the 2019 Gila Challenge, and hereby waive any and all claims I have or may have against the 2019 Gila Challenge, its organizers, agents and participants as a result of my participation in the 2019 Gila Challenge. I further agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the rally, its organizers, sponsors, volunteers, agents and participants from all claims asserted against them by third parties arising out of my conduct during the rally.

NOW, THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERATION for being permitted to participate in the 2019 Gila Challenge, THE UNDERSIGNED:

1.
