HOLD HARMLESS AGREEMENT AND COMMUNICABLE AND INFECTIOUS DISEASES INFORMED CONSENT

In consideration of participation in The Coach Spo 5k benefiting Nicklaus Children's and the Miami HEAT Charitable Fund  (“Event”), I, the undersigned, agree to indemnify and hold Nicklaus Children’s Health System, Nicklaus Children’s Hospital, Nicklaus Children’s Hospital Foundation, and any of their subsidiaries and affiliates, and their respective employees, agents, directors, officers, and other representatives (collectively, “NCHS”) harmless and hereby waive, release and discharge any and all known and unknown, foreseen and unforeseen claims, demands, rights and causes of action for damage, death, personal injury, bodily injury (including illness and communicable disease) or property damage which I may have or which hereinafter may accrue to me against NCHS, from and against any and all liability arising out of or connected in any way, directly or indirectly, with my participation in this Event, including, but not limited to, participation in any and all related activities. It is further understood and agreed that this waiver, release, and assumption of risks has been freely entered into and is to be binding on my heirs and assigns.

Additionally, I fully understand that that my participation in the Event exposes me to the risk of personal injury, death, communicable diseases, illnesses, viruses, and/or property damage. Knowing the risks, nevertheless, I hereby acknowledge that I am voluntarily participating in this activity, and I agree to assume those risks and to release and hold harmless NCHS who might otherwise be liable to me (or my heirs and assignees) for damages.

Communicable and Infectious Diseases:

I understand that an inherent risk of exposure to communicable or infectious diseases exists in any public place where people are present, and in hospital or clinical settings. “Communicable disease” means any disease or illness caused by microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, parasites, or fungi that can be spread, directly or indirectly, from one person to another. “Infectious disease” means any disease or illness caused by microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, parasites, or fungi that enter the body, multiply, and can cause an infection. For example, influenza and COVID-19 are contagious communicable diseases that can lead to severe illness and death. I acknowledge that the risk of exposure to any communicable or infectious disease includes the risk of exposing others I may later encounter, even if I am not experiencing or displaying any symptoms of illness.

I acknowledge and agree to voluntarily assume any and all risks in any way related to my exposure to any and all communicable or infectious diseases, including illness, injury, or death of myself or others. I acknowledge that my participation in the Event is entirely voluntary. 

By my participation in the Event, I attest, acknowledge and agree to the following:

·       I am knowledgeable about the individual risk of developing severe illness if I am infected with a communicable or infectious disease.

·       I have made an informed decision about my participation in the Event based on my individual risk. 

·       I have decided whether to consult with a health care provider based on such individual risk.

·       I will comply with all health and safety protocols, policies and procedures issued by NCHS and any applicable health authorities for the duration of the Event.

BY SIGNING BELOW, I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT I HAVE CAREFULLY READ THIS RELEASE, WAIVER AND HOLD HARMLESS AGREEMENT AND INFORMED CONSENT REGARDING COMMUNICABLE AND INFECTIOUS DISEASES, AND THAT I FULLY UNDERSTAND AND AGREE TO ITS TERMS. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS CONSTITUTES A RELEASE OF LIABILITY AND A BINDING CONTRACT BETWEEN MYSELF AND NCHS, AND I AM SIGNING IT VOLUNTARILY AND OF MY OWN FREE WILL.
