The risks and hazards associated with or related to cycling and running, include, but are not limited to, injuries or death from:

2. Executing strenuous and demanding physical techniques;
3. Vigorous physical exertion, rapid movements, quick turns and stops;
4. Cardiovascular “strain” that in healthy individuals manifests in increased breathing elevated heart rate and fatigue and sometimes, vertigo and nausea; in individuals with diagnosed or otherwise undiagnosed coronary artery disease: any/or combination of chest pain, nausea, irregular heart rhythm, heart attack, stroke;
5. Unexpected reactions from interaction of medications on cardiovascular or respiratory function; adverse allergic reactions to medication during exercise;
6. Exerting and stretching various muscle groups;
7. Extreme weather and temperature conditions which may result in dehydration, heatstroke, sunstroke or hypothermia, or that may exacerbate known or undiagnosed underlying cardiovascular disease or diseases related to energy metabolism (diabetes, coronary artery disease, heart failure, arrhythmias);
8. Unanticipated allergic reactions from insect bites or contact with water-borne organisms;

10. Mounting, dismounting or falling off a bicycle
11. Falling or colliding with the ground, walls, stands, equipment or with other participants;
12. Falling due to uneven or irregular terrain or surfaces;
13. Failure to properly use any piece of equipment or from the mechanical failure of any piece of equipment;
14. Contact or being struck by other participants, spectators, equipment or vehicles;
15. Spinal cord injuries which may render me permanently paralyzed;

The organizers will take such steps as are necessary and within their competence to stabilize a patient for transportation to a medical facility. Charges for transportation by ambulance services and charges for medical care at the medical facility are the responsibility of the patient. For this reason, it is advisable that participant take appropriate steps, especially when the participant is non-Canadian or when the event will be a foreign (non-Canadian) location, to ensure that they have sufficient medical insurance coverage for such eventualities. Failure to have appropriate insurance coverage could result in delays in treatment, a reduced level of care, or detention pending settlement of the account.

The Organizers and volunteers assume no liability for loss of, or damage to, any personal effects or equipment brought to the event by participants. Participants may wish to consider purchasing insurance from their own insurance carrier to cover such eventualities as loss of personal property or damage to personal property, to avoid out-of-pocket expense.
