I freely, spontaneously, and voluntarily declare that:

1. I have decided to participate in the Bogotá Half Marathon 2025 – mmB 2025, in either the ten-kilometer (10K) or twenty-one-kilometer (21K) race (hereinafter referred to as "the Race"), which will be held on July 27, 2025, and is organized by Correcaminos de Colombia (hereinafter referred to as "the Organizers"). 2. Registration for "the Race" solely grants me the right to participate in it. 3. I undertake to comply with and follow the biosecurity protocols established by the National Government, District and Municipal authorities, and all protocols indicated by the competent authorities on the matter, which are in force on the date of the Race. 4. That I am in perfect physical, mental, and health conditions, and I am also adequately informed that I must be trained to participate in the race and perform this physical exertion, and that the organization recommends that all registered participants undergo a strict prior medical evaluation. 5. I do not suffer from any illness, injury, disability, or condition that would prevent me from participating in the Race or make it advisable for me not to participate. 6. I am aware of the sports and medical recommendations that I should follow to participate appropriately in the Race, taking into account my physical condition and personal circumstances. 7. I am fully aware that if, on the date of the race, I present any of the following conditions, I will not be able to participate in the race, nor will I be able to request a refund of the registration fee: pregnancy, state of intoxication, being under the influence of psychoactive substances, heart disease, respiratory diseases, use of crutches, casts, and/or prostheses, and any other conditions that would disqualify me from participating. In the event that I participate under any of these circumstances or similar ones, I release the Organization from all liability, as I am participating at my own risk. 8. I will accept any decision made by the Organization regarding my participation in the Race. 9. I assume all risks associated with my participation in the Race, including but not limited to falls and accidents, illnesses, and even injuries or death, caused by, among other reasons, my medical or clinical history, contact with other participants, dehydration, weather conditions such as temperature and/or humidity, vehicular traffic, and road conditions, and in general any and all risks that I acknowledge and accept, given that the activity during the Race will be under my exclusive control and execution as a participant. 10. Having read this declaration, knowing the risks and considering that I accept them by participating in the race, I, on my own behalf and on behalf of any person acting on my behalf, release the race organizers, the Colombian Athletics Federation, the Bogotá Athletics League, volunteers, the Mayor's Office of Bogotá, the District Institute for Recreation and Sports (IDRD), sponsors and/or representatives and successors, from any and all claims or liability of any kind arising out of or in connection with my participation in this event. 11. Likewise, I release the aforementioned individuals or entities from any liability for any loss, theft, or robbery that I may suffer. 12. I understand that it is strictly prohibited for all registered participants and/or attendees of the race to engage in any advertising, promotional, or branding activities other than those organized by the official sponsors of the event and authorized by the Organizers. The Bogotá Half Marathon is a private event and therefore reserves the right to refuse entry and deny access to individuals who do not comply with this condition. 13. I accept that the race organization may suspend the event due to weather conditions, public order disturbances, acts of vandalism, or any other circumstances that may jeopardize the safety of the participants. 14. I also declare that I have read and understood the regulations and waiver of liability for the race as published in any registration medium (printed or virtual) and on the website www.mediamaratonbogota.com, and I understand that registering for the race grants me the right to participate. Under no circumstances, and in the event that I am unable to participate in the race or claim the race kit on the dates established and communicated in advance by the organization, will I be able to claim the race kit, request a refund of the registration fee, or request a postponement of the registration for future events. 15. The information provided in the registration regarding the shirt size is for statistical purposes only; it does not guarantee that the participant's requested size will be available at the time of the shirt distribution. 16. The transfer of registrations from one runner to another is not permitted. 17. I acknowledge that no changes will be made to the shirt size, shirt fit, or selected distance after registration. 18. After registering for the Bogotá Half Marathon 2025 - mmB 2025, this registration is valid only for the 2025 version. 19. I am aware that, in accordance with the rules established by World Athletics and the Colombian Athletics Federation, the Official Race Time will be the Gun Time, that is, the time that elapses from the starting gun to the moment the runner crosses the finish line. The chip time allows the athlete to measure and know the time elapsed between crossing the starting line and crossing the finish line, regardless of the position or place in which they are located at the start of the competition. 20. I authorize the Race Organization and sponsors to: a) Use photographs, films, videos, and recordings that have been obtained before, during, and after the Race, and those that have been obtained during all activities carried out to organize the Race, for any legitimate use thereof, including promotional uses, without any compensation or financial obligation. b) I authorize the Companies to use my data to promote benefit programs, offer products or services of the Companies, conduct surveys for commercial, financial, or advertising purposes through text messages (SMS), email, or other means, and/or share my data with third parties linked or with whom they have or will have some type of commercial relationship. 21. I acknowledge that I understand, have evaluated, and accept the risks that may arise due to the fact that the "Race" is a public gathering with numerous people in motion, in which case there may be delays in the transportation and arrival of ambulances, as well as in the provision of assistance. For these reasons, I expressly exclude the "Organizer" of the "Race" from any liability. Through this document, I consent to receiving medical and/or first aid treatment from qualified personnel if necessary and to be transported to the required healthcare facilities or hospitals. Consequently, I expressly understand that there may be parts of the race course where there are no medical treatment or first aid points available to participants in the "Race". However, if such services are available, I will assume all medical costs and expenses incurred as a result of participating in the "Race", including but not limited to ambulance transportation, hospitalization, medical care, medications, and pharmaceuticals. In any event, I expressly declare that I am aware that the "Organizer's" obligations in relation to first aid, medical care, and ambulance services consist of coordinating for third-party specialists in these areas to be available to provide such services at the "Race" or warm-up, without the "Organizer," its affiliates, sponsors, and any natural or legal persons associated with the "Race" or warm-up, being responsible for the final outcome of the provision of such services. 22. I declare that I release from all liability the "Organizer" of the event, as well as its affiliates, sponsors, and any natural or legal persons associated with the "Race", if: I have lied about or concealed information about my age and/or health condition, and I participate despite knowing that I suffer from any illness, ailment, mental or physical condition that is contraindicated for practicing sports; if I participate while having consumed alcohol, drugs, or medications, or having engaged in conduct that may alter the body's tolerance to physical exertion. 23. I am also aware that the "Race" has a restricted time for the use of public roads and event venues. Consequently, I understand that the roads on which the race will be held will be open to vehicular traffic once that time has elapsed, and there will be no further support facilities (medical, communications, first aid, etc.) available to participants in the "Race" after that time. Therefore, I agree in advance that I will withdraw from the "Race" from that time on, leave the course, and locate myself in pedestrian areas or safe zones. 24. Minors over the age of 14 may participate in this "Race". Both they and their parents or guardians must sign this acceptance of conditions, indicating that they will comply with them and agree to the stipulations herein. Once completed and submitted, it will be presumed that it was completed by the minor and their parents or by the minor and their guardian.
