### IMPORTANT – PLEASE READ BEFORE REGISTERING

**Participation in the HYROX SIM involves strenuous, high-intensity physical exercise and carries inherent risks of injury. These risks may include serious injury, permanent disability and, in extreme circumstances, death.**

By registering for and participating in this event, I confirm that I have read, understood and agree to the following Terms of Participation.

## 1. Participation & Fitness

I understand that the HYROX SIM is a physically demanding fitness event which may include running, SkiErg, sled pushing and pulling, burpee broad jumps, rowing, farmers carries, sandbag lunges, wall balls and other physical activities.

I confirm that, to the best of my knowledge, I am physically capable of participating.

I am responsible for informing CrossFit Alberton 2.0 (“CFA”) of any injury, illness, medical condition or other circumstance that may affect my ability to participate safely.

If I am unsure whether I am medically fit to participate, I understand that I should obtain appropriate medical advice before participating.

## 2. Assumption of Risk

I understand and accept that participation carries inherent risks, including falls, collisions, muscle strains or tears, joint or ligament injuries, dehydration, dizziness, heat-related illness, cardiovascular events and injuries resulting from fatigue, equipment or physical exertion.

**I understand that these risks may result in serious injury, permanent disability or, in extreme circumstances, death.**

I voluntarily accept the normal and inherent risks associated with participating in the event.

## 3. Safety & Event Rules

I agree to follow all reasonable instructions, movement standards and safety requirements communicated by CFA coaches, judges and event officials.

I understand that CFA may modify, scale or stop my participation where reasonably considered necessary for my safety or the safety of others.

I agree to stop exercising and immediately notify an event official if I experience unusual pain, chest pain, severe shortness of breath, dizziness, faintness or any other concerning symptoms.

## 4. Arrival & Check-In

All participants must arrive **at least 30 minutes before their scheduled start time** to complete check-in and prepare for their heat.

Participants should allow enough time to:

* Check in and confirm their registration;
* Receive event instructions;
* Familiarise themselves with the event layout; and
* Warm up and be ready for their scheduled start time.

**Participants who arrive late cannot be guaranteed their original start time and may be moved to a later heat, subject to availability.**

Your **start time is the time your heat begins, not your arrival time.**

## 5. Limitation of Liability & Indemnity

To the fullest extent permitted by South African law, I participate voluntarily and at my own risk in respect of the normal and inherent risks associated with the event.

I agree that CFA, its owners, employees, coaches, contractors, judges, volunteers and event representatives will not be liable for loss, damage or injury suffered by me arising from the normal and inherent risks of participating in the event, except where such liability cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

I indemnify the above parties, to the extent permitted by law, against claims arising directly from my own negligent, reckless or intentional conduct during the event.

**Nothing in these Terms of Participation excludes or limits liability for gross negligence or removes any rights that cannot lawfully be waived under the Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2008 or other applicable South African law.**

## 6. Emergency Assistance

If I become injured or medically unwell, I authorise CFA staff or event representatives to provide or arrange reasonable first aid or emergency medical assistance where required.

I understand that I may be responsible for costs charged by third-party medical or emergency-service providers, subject to applicable law.
