FAT ASS Run Waiver

I, the undersigned, affirm that I participate in this run at my own risk, that there will be no 
support available except where provided by myself, no route markings, no marshals and no medical 
personnel in attendance and that I cannot hold my fellow runners, those who advertise the run or 
anyone else involved in the run or anyone else, responsible for any accident, injury or death 
sustained by anyone, anywhere or any property lost, stolen or damaged. 

I have been advised that the run may traverse lands that are owned by Crown Lands, National Parks 
or other landowners and that they have not been notified of any event, and permission has not been 
given and that I will accept any consequences on myself resulting from any legal transgressions. 

I know that the run may traverse extremely rough and rugged bushland, that is inhabited by the 
standard Australian wildlife (snakes, spiders etc) and accept I could get hurt, lost, dehydrated, 
injured or could even die. I fully accept this on my own behalf. In fact I will thoroughly ENJOY 
the prospect of suffering blisters, cramps, trashed quads, thunderstorms, lightning strike, 
heatwave, frostbite and other entertainment that can be associated with running.

I understand that any roads to be crossed or run along may be narrow and twisty and that all car 
drivers are maniacs out to run me down. I understand that even if I am an extremely experienced 
athlete, I may still not be fit enough to complete the course in daylight hours and that my fellow 
runners, those who advertise the run or anyone else involved in the run or anyone else need not 
wait for me to complete my run at the designated finishing spot. I have been advised to take some 
money and have my own support crew to look after me and my needs. I confirm that I have not left 
any belongings of any value with my fellow runners, those who advertise the run or anyone else 
involved in the run or anyone else whilst I am out running, and anything I may have left with 
them can be left unattended at the designated finishing spot if I fail to arrive there before 
they leave.

I believe I am fit enough to do start this run - and complete it - or else I have the capabilities 
to get back to civilisation or my support crew, and that I am responsible for myself and the cost 
of any search and/or rescue if I become lost or suffer any medical problem (whether I know about 
it at the start of this run or not). I understand that my fellow runners, those who advertise the 
run or anyone else involved in the run or anyone else may not initiate any search/rescue if I do 
become lost or fail to arrive at the designated finishing spot.

In particular I guarantee that I will not bring any legal action in any regard to this run - I 
realise that my fellow runners, those who advertise the run or anyone else involved in the run or 
anyone else are NOT organising an event or race and that this is a joint endeavour by all who take 
part. I understand that there are NO organisers of this run and that each participant is responsible 
for being there and for their own actions - and therefore any legal action cannot be directed at 
any one person or group. If I wanted to have someone responsible then I would have run in a 
recognised event elsewhere. This is not to say I will not bitch or use strong language, I expect to 
do so during runs of this tough a calibre - regardless of whether I get injured, run poorly, run 
slow, puke, get lost or just plain don't like this Fat Ass run. I understand this is just a part of 
the experience of real running.

I confirm that I have had time to fully read and understand this waiver, even if it does limit my 
legal rights, and that I have not been pressured to sign this - I do so of my own free will, in a 
sane mind.
