Release of Liability, Assumption of Risk, and Medical Authorization

Version v2026-11 · Effective November 5, 2026

THIS IS A LEGALLY BINDING AGREEMENT. IT GIVES UP CERTAIN LEGAL RIGHTS. READ IT CAREFULLY BEFORE AGREEING.

In exchange for being allowed to take part in the rides, practices, clinics, races, camps, events, and other activities organized or sponsored by Move Up Cycling Club or Move Up Endurance Coaching LLC (together, “Move Up,” and the activities, the “Activities”), I agree as follows.

1. Assumption of risk

I understand that cycling and the Activities carry real risks, including:

  • collisions with vehicles, other riders, pedestrians, animals, and fixed objects;
  • riders of different skill levels riding close together;
  • road, trail, gravel, and course conditions, including potholes, loose surfaces, obstacles, and uneven terrain;
  • equipment failure or inadequate safety gear;
  • weather, heat, cold, and conditions outside Move Up’s control;
  • physical exertion, including heat illness and cardiac events; and
  • risks that are unknown or can’t be foreseen.

These risks can cause serious injury, including broken bones, head and spinal injury, paralysis, and death. I take part voluntarily. I KNOWINGLY ASSUME ALL OF THESE RISKS, KNOWN AND UNKNOWN, EVEN IF THEY ARISE FROM THE ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE OF THE RELEASEES OR OTHERS.

2. Release of liability

For myself and my heirs, assigns, personal representatives, and next of kin, I RELEASE, WAIVE, AND DISCHARGE Move Up Endurance Coaching LLC, Move Up Cycling Club, and their owners, officers, coaches, ride leaders, employees, contractors, volunteers, sponsors, partners, other participants, and the owners and lessors of any property used for the Activities (the “Releasees”) from all claims for injury, disability, death, illness, or loss or damage to person or property arising from my participation, WHETHER CAUSED BY THE ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE OF THE RELEASEES OR OTHERWISE, to the fullest extent the law allows. This release does not cover gross negligence or intentional misconduct.

3. Indemnity and covenant not to sue

I agree not to sue the Releasees over any claim released above. I agree to indemnify and hold the Releasees harmless from claims brought by others because of my actions or omissions during the Activities, including reasonable attorney’s fees.

4. Health, equipment, and conduct

  • I am in good enough health to take part, and no doctor has advised me against it. I’m responsible for knowing my limits.
  • I am responsible for my bike and gear being safe and in working order.
  • I will wear a helmet at all times while riding.
  • I will follow traffic laws, the Club Code of Conduct, and instructions from ride leaders and coaches. If I see an unusual hazard, I will stop and tell a ride leader or coach.
  • I am responsible for my own health insurance and any medical costs.

5. Medical treatment authorization

If I am injured or ill during the Activities and can’t make decisions for myself, I authorize Move Up’s coaches and ride leaders to call emergency services and to arrange first aid and emergency medical treatment. I accept responsibility for the cost of that care. I release the Releasees from claims arising from first aid or emergency care given in good faith.

6. Photos and media

I grant Move Up permission to use photos, video, and audio of me taken during the Activities, as described in the Club Membership Terms.

7. Term

This agreement applies to all Activities from the date I agree to it, through my current membership year and any renewals, until replaced by a newer version.

8. Governing law and severability

This agreement is governed by Kansas law. It is meant to be as broad as Kansas and Missouri law allow. If any part is found unenforceable, the rest stays in effect.

9. For riders under 18: parent or guardian agreement

I am the parent or legal guardian of the rider named at sign-up, and I have legal authority to sign for them. I have read this agreement and agree to it on the rider’s behalf and on my own. I consent to the rider’s participation, I ASSUME THE RISKS DESCRIBED ABOVE FOR THE RIDER, and I give the medical treatment authorization in Section 5 for the rider. For myself, the rider, and our heirs and next of kin, I release and agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Releasees as described above, EVEN IF A CLAIM ARISES FROM THEIR ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE, to the fullest extent the law allows.

Acknowledgment

I HAVE READ THIS AGREEMENT, UNDERSTAND IT, AND KNOW THAT I AM GIVING UP SUBSTANTIAL RIGHTS. I AGREE TO IT FREELY AND VOLUNTARILY. Checking the box at sign-up and submitting the form is my electronic signature.
