assist and/or volunteer in the above-referenced event, and any related programs, activities, or events (collectively, the “Event”), I understand and acknowledge that by signing below I am
legally agreeing to the statements in this Competitor Group, Inc. and The IRONMAN Foundation, Inc. Volunteer Waiver and Release Agreement (“Agreement”). I understand and acknowledge

anyone else who might claim or sue on my or their behalf, as follows:
1. I ACKNOWLEDGE AND ASSUME ALL THE RISKS OF VOLUNTEERING IN THE EVENT. I understand that my and/or my child’s volunteering in the Event may involve a risk of
physical injury to me or others, damage to mine or other’s property, or other consequences. These consequences might result from the actions, inactions, or negligence of myself, and/or my
child, and/or others, or from various conditions of the premises, the equipment used in the Event, and/or the weather. There may also be other risks not known or not reasonably foreseeable,
including, but not limited to: falls; dangers of collisions with athletes, vehicles, pedestrians, other participants, spectators, volunteers, or fixed objects; dangers arising from surface hazards,
equipment failure, or inadequate safety equipment; and hazards that may be posed by spectators or volunteers (including but not limited to the potential that third party/s may commit criminal
or terroristic acts). I understand that unmanned aerial vehicles (“UAVs”, also known as “drones”) may be used at the Event for media or other purposes and accept the risk of a collision with,
and any damage or injury relating to, any UAV. I further acknowledge that these risks include risks that may be the result of negligent acts, omissions, and/or carelessness of the Released
Parties, as defined below. I understand that I and/or my child will be volunteering for the Event at my and/or their own risk and I agree to assume all the risks incidental to volunteering in the
Event including, without limitation, (a) THE RISK OF EXPOSURE TO COMMUNICABLE DISEASE(S), INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO COVID-19, WHICH INHERENTLY EXISTS IN
ANY PLACE WHERE PEOPLE ARE PRESENT, INCLUDING BEFORE, DURING, AND/OR AFTER THE EVENT AND ACTIVITIES and (b) the risk that my mental, physical or emotional
condition (including any use or abuse of alcohol or prescription or non-prescription drugs), whether disclosed or undisclosed, known or unknown, combined with assisting with these activities
could result in injury, damage, death or other loss. Operator cannot anticipate or eliminate risks or complications posed by a participant’s and/or volunteer’s mental, physical (including fitness
level) or emotional condition. I acknowledge that I and/or my child is acting only as a volunteer and not as an employee of Operator, and there is no expectation to receive any type of
compensation from Operator or any of the Released Parties. I understand that Operator reserves the right, in its sole and complete discretion, to deny any person from volunteering at the
Event. If the above listed participant volunteer is under 18 years of age, I give permission for the participant volunteer, as my child, to participate in and/or assist at the Event in the capacity as
a volunteer and agree to discuss this Agreement, and specifically, the activities and inherent risks, with my child.

PERSON(S) (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY CO-VOLUNTEER; PARTICIPANT; SPECTATOR; OPERATOR STAFF, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CONTRACTOR; AND/OR ANY

CONDITIONS ARE ESPECIALLY VULNERABLE. BY VISITING OR VOLUNTEERING AT ANY EVENT-RELATED VENUE, I AND/OR MY CHILD VOLUNTARILY ASSUME ALL RISKS
RELATED TO EXPOSURE TO COVID-19, SO I AND/OR MY CHILD MAY VOLUNTEER AT THE EVENT AND THE ACTIVITIES; I AND/OR MY CHILD AUTHORIZE AND CONSENT TO

6. I hereby authorize medical treatment or care for me and/or my child if deemed advisable in the event of injury, accident or illness by a medical director or any of its agents, employees,
volunteers, affiliates and designees, a physician and/or hospital. I agree to be responsible and assume liability for any and all costs incurred as a result of my and/or my child’s volunteering in
the Event, not covered by my insurance, including but not limited to, medical care and treatment, ambulance services, hospital stays, and physician and pharmaceutical goods and services.
7. I authorize for me and/or my child and voluntarily consent under the Health Information Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) to the release and disclosure of my and/or my child’s
protected health information, health services provided to me, and/or any health related information about me and/or my child by a physician, emergency personnel, medical team member or
any of the Released Parties’ employees for the purposes of diagnosing or providing treatment to me and/or my child, coordination of care, and for health care operations, including necessary

be conditioned upon this authorization.
8. I grant to Operator, each of their affiliates, designees, assignees, and sponsors the right and permission to photograph, film, record and/or otherwise capture in any media the name,

activities or otherwise, without compensation, for use for any purpose in any media (now known or hereafter devised) throughout the world in perpetuity, including but not limited to use in
photographs, videotapes, CDs, DVDs, broadcast, telecast, podcast, webcast, recordings, motion pictures, commercial advertisement, promotional materials, and/or any other record of this
Event. I understand that all ownership and copyright rights in the images shall be owned by Operator and I waive any inspection or approval rights.
9. In no event may I (or anyone else on my behalf) without the prior written consent of WTC: (a) use any intellectual property of WTC and/or its affiliates, including, but not limited to, the
IRONMAN®, 70.3®, Iron Girl®, IRONKIDS®, Velothon®, Cape Epic®, 5150®, and Rock ‘n’ Roll® marks and names, the “M-Dot” logo, “K-Dot” logo (collectively, the “WTC IP”) and/or any words or
marks that refer to, or are suggestive of, or confusingly similar to, the Event, any Event logo, Event name, Event location, Event date, or Event race distance (collectively, “Event IP”), or (b)
sell, market, distribute, or produce any products, events, merchandise, websites, or services that are IRONMAN®-branded, 70.3®-branded, Event-branded, or branded or marked using (i) any
Event logo, (ii) any Event name, (iii) any Event IP, or (iv) or any WTC IP (including without limitation the word “IRON” or any foreign translation thereof as a prefix for, or component of, any

10. AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE. Any dispute or Claims I and/or my child may have arising out of, relating to or in connection with this Agreement, my and/or my child’s assistance with
and/or participation in the Event or activities, or any other aspect of my relationship with Operator: 1) shall be governed by Florida substantive law (without regard to its “conflict of law” rules)
and 2) unless settled by direct discussions, shall be determined by binding arbitration as the sole and final remedy for all matters in dispute, administered by the American Arbitration
Association (“AAA”) in accordance with applicable arbitration rules as interpreted and governed by the Florida Arbitration Code. AAA arbitrators, acceptable to both myself and Operator, shall
conduct the arbitration. Required Venue: I agree that any arbitration proceeding, or any suit or other proceeding must be filed, entered into and/or take place only in Tampa, Florida. I
ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THE PARTIES, BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, ARE WAIVING ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN THE
PARTIES. I FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTAND THAT IF A JUDGE WERE TO RULE THAT THE PARTIES' ARBITRATION AGREEMENT IS NOT ENFORCEABLE THAT
THE PARTIES ARE STILL VOLUNTARILY GIVING UP THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY REGARDING ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN THEM. If any provision of this Agreement shall be
deemed unlawful, void, or for any reason, unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from this Agreement and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any
remaining provisions.
11. CLASS ACTION/CLASS ARBITRATION WAIVER. I acknowledge and agree that any arbitration, suit, countersuit, action or other legal proceeding shall be conducted and resolved on
an individual basis only and that I will not bring, voluntarily join, or participate in any class action, consolidated action, representative action, class arbitration, consolidated arbitration, or
representative arbitration involving matters arising out of, relating to, or in connection with this Agreement, my enrollment or participation in the activities, or any other aspect of my relationship
with Operator. I further acknowledge and agree that any dispute regarding the scope of this class action/class arbitration waiver provision shall be determined by a court, not an arbitrator.
12. Operator may assign this Agreement to other entity/s or individual/s (“assignees”) at any time, and any such assignment will grant assignees the full rights and protections accorded in this
Agreement, consistent with Operator’s and other Released Parties’ rights and protections under this Agreement.
