SHELL GUAM EXTREME ADVENTURE RACE4, 09/20/03

Guam's premier annual sporting event enters its fourth year with a bigger, badder, meaner race and with international competitors from New Zealand, Japan, Australia, Hong Kong, Saipan, the United States, and Guam.
The first checkpoint will be audio, in which teams must follow the sound of drums to checkpoint #1. From checkpoint #1 itﾕs on to navigation with the help of topographic maps to checkpoints that will challenge navigators and make mountain bikers cringe.
The ocean will play its normal key role with sections of the island's 212 miles of coastline being utilized in coasteering, open ocean kayaking, and open ocean swimming using swim fins. River environments may be explored in all manners of craft and the trekking will be as interesting as ever with checkpoints meant to challenge teams into decisions they normally wouldn't take, night navigation and biking will be just unrealﾉ
Adventure racers throughout the region focus on this race every summer as the intensity sets it apart. History has shown that Guamﾕs heat is always a factor and that training, conditioning and hydration are the keys to success. Join the Guam USA Team of Eco-Challenge, Fiji as they come home to their training grounds and compete in GEAR4!

Participant understands and acknowledges that participating in a GEAR event will expose him or her to the risk of personal injury, death, dehydration, leptospirosis and other illnesses, as well as the risk of becoming lost, and the risk of damage to his or her property.
Participant further acknowledges and understands that the above risks exist even as a member of a support crew, volunteer or race official, representative, organizer, sponsor or an Executive Committee member (ﾒReleased Partiesﾓ), including without limitation, the risk of negligent instruction or supervision.

Participant hereby expressly waives the provisions of Section 1542 of the Civil Code of Guam and the provisions of any similar statue of any other jurisdiction, which reads as follows:
ﾒA general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or expect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.ﾓ
Participant understands and acknowledges that after executing this waiver and release, if he or she should suffer injury, death and/or property damage during or as a result of a GEAR event, then he or she will not be able to make any claim for damages against any of the Released Parties.
