MS Run the US, Inc. continually strives to reduce such risks and insists that all participants follow safety rules and instructions that are designed to protect the participants' safety. However, participants registering for the race activities/programs must recognize that there is an inherent risk of injury when choosing to participate in recreational activities/programs.  It is always advisable, especially if the participant is pregnant or disabled in any way or recently suffered an illness, injury or impairment, to consult a physician before undertaking any physical activity.

The undersigned further agrees that this Agreement is intended to be as broad and inclusive as permitted by law in the State of Wisconsin, and that if any portion hereof is found invalid, it is agreed that the balance shall, notwithstanding, continue in full force and effect.
