I am the parent or legal guardian of the minor whose name appears above. I know that running is a potentially hazardous activity. I know that the minor should not run unless medically able and properly trained. I agree to abide by any decision of the program director relative to the minor's ability to safely complete the risks associated with running in this program including, but not limited to: falls, contact with other participants, the effects of the weather, including high heat and/or humidity, traffic and the conditions of the road or track, all such risks being known and appreciated by me. Having read this waiver and knowing these facts, on my behalf and the minor's behalf, waive and release the Boston Athletic Association, its Board of Governors, Club Members, officers, directors, agents, employees, sponsors, and their representatives from all claims or liabilities of any kind arising out of the minor's participation in this event even though that liability may arise out of negligence or carelessness on the part of the persons named in this waiver. I further authorize and empower the program director to consent to and authorize any medical care or treatment for the minor that may appear reasonably necessary as a result of emergency, accident or illness of the minor whether occurring before, during or after the event. I grant permission to all of the foregoing to use any photographs, motion pictures, recordings, or any other record of this for any legitimate purpose.

I have read and agree to this permission waiver.
