COVID-19 LIABILITY WAIVER
The World Health Organization has declared the novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) a
worldwide pandemic. Due to its capacity to transmit from person-to-person through
respiratory droplets, the government has set recommendations, guidelines, and some
prohibitions which Maryland Youth Cross Country Group (Organization) adheres to comply.
In consideration of my participation in the foregoing, the undersigned acknowledge and
agree to the following:
I am fully and personally responsible for my own safety and actions while and
during my participation in the Maryland Youth Cross Country Group and I recognize that I
may in any case be at risk of contracting COVID-19.
With full knowledge of the risks involved, I hereby release, waive, discharge the
Organization, its coaches, representatives, successors, and assigns from any and all liabilities,
claims, demands, actions, and causes of action whatsoever, directly or indirectly arising
out of or related to any loss, damage, injury, or death that may be sustained by me
related to COVID-19 while participating in any activity while in, on, or around
the premises or while using the facilities that may lead to unintentional exposure
or harm due to COVID-19.
I agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Organization from and
against any and all costs, expenses, damages, lawsuits, and/or liabilities or claims
arising whether directly or indirectly from and or related to any and all claims
made by or against any of the released party due to injury, loss, or death from or
related to COVID-19.
By signing below, I acknowledge that I have read the foregoing Liability Release Waiver
and understand its contents; that I am at least eighteen (18) years old and fully competent
to give my consent; That I have been sufficiently informed of the risks involved and give
my voluntary consent in signing it as my own free act and deed; that I give my voluntary
consent in signing this Liability Release Waiver as my own free act and deed with full

DUE TO COVID-19 AND PARKS & REC GUIDELINES, THE FOLLOWING TIME SCHEDULE WILL BE STRICTLY ENFORCED. PLEASE ARRIVE JUST PRIOR TO YOUR DESIGNATED RACE TIME.
Schedule TBD
* No course walks. There will be a rabbit for the 8U 2k and 9-10 3k
* Please arrive ready to race at the designated report time
* Restrooms will be available
* No concessions
* Course maps will be posted
***IMPORTANT: GUIDELINES AND REQUIREMENTS***
Below we cover the meet requirements as determined by Frederick and Montgomery County Parks & Rec for their approval of us to host youth XC meets for the 2020 season in this time of Covid-19. If Parks & Rec deem that we are not being responsible to the rules below, we may be a one-and-done season.
Please, adhere to the rules below and remember, we are doing this for the kids!
Please share this with your team and all participating parents/kids.
Okay, so here we go:
* Event Covid-19 Waiver (see below). Parents of all registered runners MUST sign the Covid-19 Liability Waiver. All waivers are to be collected by the head coach or official representative of each team and turned over to the meet director prior to the start of the meet. Any runner who we do not have a meet waiver for will not be allowed to run. NO EXCEPTIONS. There will be no meet waivers at the meet for signature.
* No tents. This means no team tents. No family tents, no tents. None. Whatsoever. If anyone brings a tent, you will be instructed and required to remove it. If you choose not to remove your tent, the Frederick and/or Montgomery County police will be contacted, and you will be removed from the event. Absolutely NO exceptions.
* No 1K race group. Tommi-Leigh stated to me that Parks & Rec is very concerned about the close proximity contact with children under the age of six and that adding with them having to run with adults they feel is dangerous and will not be allowed. However, the 1K race will be offered at Damascus two meets. They are in Montgomery County and have approval to conduct a 1K race with NO PARENTS. That race will take place at the end of the official meet, and will be hand-timed. There will be a rabbit for the kids to follow.
* Races are to be age-group staggered. This means that each group of runners is to report at a specific time of the day to run their race as specified on the meet flier. This means that each age bracket is to report, run their race, and then leave. Please pay close attention to your age bracket race time. Please have your kids report to the start line approximately 5 minutes prior to race start.
* NO RACE DAY REGISTRATION. None, so do not ask.
* Awards will be collected at the end of the meet by an official representative of each team.
* If anyone (coaches, parents, kids, volunteers) are not able to maintain social distancing of at least 6 feet, masks are advisable to be worn.
