How to Join

Since this is an informal group, there are currently no membership fees. A list is maintained, but this is for emails to notify members of events. You will not be placed on any other "list" nor will any information you give be used for any type of commercial/political/charitable/etc. marketing endeavor. In addition to the runs, by joining, you will receive a weekly group email update which may include invitations to our special events and activities.

You do not need to be on the email list to join us on any run, but you must sign the waiver in person to be associated with us in any way.

Waiver for Philly Runners [Running Club]

In joining Philly Runners, I realize that running includes certain risks, and that there is no obligation to join any run or to run at a pace or distance with which I am not comfortable. I realize that the runs are informal and held on a public thoroughfare, the condition of which Philly Runners does not control. Weather, traffic, lighting, and other factors may influence the conditions for running on any given day, and in agreeing to join the club for these informal runs, I release Philly Runners, its officers and its members from any responsibility for injury or other hardship I may suffer as a result of running. I understand that some runs will be held after sunrise or before sunset and that it may be dark during all or part of some runs. I agree that it is my responsibility to wear appropriate reflective gear on these runs and that if I am injured by my failure to do so that I will not hold Philly Runners, its officers or members responsible in any way. I accept full responsibility for my own fitness and health and understand that Philly Runners and any person or persons assisting any activity of the club can in no way be held accountable if my effort surpasses my level of fitness and conditioning. I voluntarily join this organization.

Since this is only an informal running club, I understand that running can be a dangerous and hazardous activity, and agree to hold all those involved in the club and/or on the email list not responsible for any type of injuries. I am not owed any duty or obligation by those involved in the club, including, but not limited to, ensuring that I have a safe running environment, ensuring that I am in adequate shape, or ensuring that I am properly warmed up. I agree not to run with the club unless I am medically able and properly trained. I waive and release all persons in the running club and/or those running with the club from any claims and liabilities of any kind arising out of participation in the runs or any other club activities. I assume all risks associated with running including but not limited to falls, insect bites and stings, contact with other runners, the effects of the weather, traffic, and the conditions of the running course. I assume all risks associated with participating in any and all non-running activities organized by the club. I agree that this waiver shall be binding upon myself, my heirs and assigns.

I understand that Philly Runners is in no way affiliated with Philadelphia Runner (store) or Philadelphia Running Club.

I (name) agree to abide by the above waiver of liability Yes / No
