2. ACCEPTANCE AND FORMATION OF THIS AGREEMENT

2.1 Affirmative acceptance required. This Agreement becomes binding on you when you affirmatively accept it — by checking the acceptance boxes, typing your name as an electronic signature, submitting a registration form, or paying any fee — whichever occurs first. Your acceptance is recorded with a date, time, and IP address.

2.2 Electronic signature. You consent to transact electronically and agree that your electronic acceptance has the same legal force and effect as a handwritten signature under the federal E-SIGN Act (15 U.S.C. § 7001 et seq.) and the Oklahoma Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (12A O.S. § 15-101 et seq.). You agree not to contest the validity, admissibility, or enforceability of this Agreement on the ground that it was accepted electronically.

2.3 Each Participant must accept individually. Every runner, driver, and support crew member must personally accept this Agreement in their own name. A team captain cannot accept this Agreement on behalf of any other person for purposes of Sections 9, 10, 11, or 12. No person may take part in the Event in any capacity until they have personally accepted this Agreement.

2.4 Presented before payment. This Agreement is presented to you in full, free of charge, on the Organizer's public website before you are asked to pay any fee. You acknowledge that you have had adequate time and opportunity to read it, to ask questions, to consult an attorney, and to decline.

2.5 Amendment. We may amend this Agreement, the Race Bible, or any incorporated policy at any time by posting the revised version at route66relayrace.com. Amendments take effect upon posting. Material changes will be communicated by email to the address on your registration. Your continued participation after an amendment constitutes acceptance of it. Where an amendment is required for safety, permitting, or legal compliance, it takes effect immediately.

3. ELIGIBILITY AND YOUR REPRESENTATIONS

3.1 Minimum age. You must be at least eighteen (18) years of age on the first day of the Event to participate as a runner or support crew member. Van drivers must be at least twenty-one (21) years of age. No person under the age of 18 may participate in any capacity. No exceptions will be granted.

3.2 Medical fitness. You represent and warrant that:

(a) you are in good health and physically and mentally fit to undertake sustained running, including running at night, in cold and potentially freezing conditions, on open public roads, over multiple legs, with limited and interrupted sleep across a period exceeding twenty-four (24) hours;
(b) you have trained adequately for the Event;
(c) you have consulted a licensed physician regarding your participation, or have knowingly and voluntarily elected not to do so and accept full responsibility for that decision;
(d) you are not aware of any medical condition, injury, illness, disability, allergy, cardiac condition, respiratory condition, or medication that would make your participation unsafe for you or for others; and
(e) you will immediately withdraw from the course and notify Event staff if at any point you become unable to continue safely.

3.3 Impairment. You will not participate in any capacity, and will not operate any vehicle, while under the influence of alcohol, cannabis (including medical marijuana lawful under Oklahoma law), illegal drugs, or any prescription or over-the-counter medication that impairs judgment, coordination, alertness, or reaction time.

3.4 Accuracy of information. You represent that all information you provide — including your name, date of birth, emergency contact, medical information, allergies, and race pace — is true, complete, and accurate. Inaccurate pace submissions materially interfere with our ability to manage course flow and safety and may result in your Team being held, rerouted, or removed from the course without refund.

3.5 Independent judgment. You acknowledge that you, and not the Organizer, are solely responsible for the decision to start, to continue, and to stop. No Event staff member, volunteer, medical provider, or official has any duty to make that decision for you, and any encouragement, clearance, evaluation, or instruction you receive from any such person does not transfer that responsibility.

4.2 Deposit. Your registration is not confirmed and no slot is held until the deposit is received in full. Deposits are applied against the total entry fee.

4.3 Balance due date — October 2, 2026. The full balance of the entry fee must be received on or before October 2, 2026. If the balance is not received by that date, the Organizer may, in its sole discretion and without further notice, cancel the registration, release the slot to another Participant or Team, and retain the deposit in full as liquidated damages — which you acknowledge is a reasonable estimate of the Organizer's costs incurred in reliance on your registration and not a penalty.

4.4 Individual runner placement. Individual runners are assigned to a Team at the Organizer's sole discretion. The Organizer makes no representation, warranty, or guarantee as to the composition, pace, experience level, conduct, fitness, equipment, vehicle, driver, or suitability of any Team to which an individual runner is assigned, and expressly disclaims any duty to screen, vet, background-check, or evaluate any Team, Participant, driver, or support crew member. Team placement is not a recommendation or endorsement of any person.

4.5 No transfer of entry. Entries, bibs, timing devices, and roster positions are personal to the Participant and may not be sold, transferred, assigned, gifted, or given to any other person except as expressly permitted under the Refund Policy and approved in writing by the Organizer. Any person who runs under another Participant's bib, and the Participant who permitted it, will both be disqualified, removed from the course, and permanently banned from future Events, without refund. Bib fraud voids all timing results and any insurance or medical coverage that may otherwise apply.

4.6 Chargebacks. You agree not to initiate any chargeback, payment dispute, or reversal for any amount properly charged under this Agreement and the Refund Policy. If you do, you will be disqualified and permanently banned from future Events, and you agree to reimburse the Organizer for all resulting fees, costs, and reasonable attorneys' fees.

4.7 Pricing. The Organizer may change pricing, add entry categories, offer promotional rates, or close registration at any time. Price changes do not entitle any prior registrant to a refund, credit, or adjustment.

5. REFUND, TRANSFER, AND DEFERRAL

5.1 All refund, transfer, and deferral matters are governed by the Refund Policy, published at route66relayrace.com/refund-policy, which is incorporated into this Agreement by reference and which you accept in full.

5.2 In summary, and subject in all respects to the full Refund Policy: deposits are fully refundable through September 4, 2026; a fifty percent (50%) refund of total amounts paid is available from September 5, 2026 through October 30, 2026; and no refunds of any kind are available after October 30, 2026. Transfer and exception requests must be submitted individually and are granted or denied at the Organizer's sole discretion.

5.3 No refund on removal. No refund, credit, transfer, or deferral will be issued where a Participant or Team is disqualified, expelled, removed from the course, withdraws, fails to start, fails to finish, misses a cut-off time, or is removed for safety reasons or for any violation of this Agreement or the Race Bible.

5.4 Travel and personal expenses. The Organizer is not responsible and will not be liable for any expenses you incur in connection with the Event, whether or not the Event proceeds, including without limitation airfare, hotel and lodging, van or vehicle rental, fuel, tolls, meals, gear, apparel, equipment, childcare, lost wages, or time off work. You are strongly encouraged to purchase travel insurance.

6. TEAM STRUCTURE, CAPTAINS, AND ROSTERS

6.1 Team captain as limited agent. Each Team must designate a captain. By registering a Team, the captain represents that they are authorized to act as the Team's agent for operational purposes only, including submitting and amending the roster, receiving and distributing Event communications, accepting rule changes, arranging payment, and making race-day decisions on behalf of the Team. The captain's authority does not extend to accepting Sections 9 through 12 of this Agreement on any other person's behalf — every Participant must personally accept those provisions.

6.2 Captain's duties. The captain must read the Race Bible in full, ensure every roster member has read it, ensure every roster member has personally accepted this Agreement, ensure the Team's vehicle and driver comply with Section 7, and ensure Team compliance with all traffic laws, quiet-zone restrictions, exchange zone procedures, and volunteer instructions.

6.3 Joint responsibility. Each Team is jointly and severally responsible for the acts and omissions of its roster members, drivers, support crew, and guests, including compliance with this Agreement, the Race Bible, all applicable laws, and any damage to property caused by any of them.

6.4 Roster changes. Roster changes are permitted at no cost until 11:59 p.m. Central Time on the Sunday preceding the Event. After that time, roster additions may be made at check-in subject to a $25.00 per-runner administrative fee, and only where the incoming runner has personally accepted this Agreement. Every roster member must satisfy Section 3.

6.5 Minimum roster. A Team must field a minimum of eight (8) runners to start. A Team that falls below eight runners may be denied a start, or removed from the course, without refund.

6.6 Injury or withdrawal mid-race. If a runner cannot continue, any remaining roster member may run the affected legs. Except for the leg on which the runner became unable to continue, legs may not be split among multiple runners. No person may be added to a Team after the Event has started.

6.7 Rotation. Runners must run in the roster sequence submitted. Running legs out of sequence, or running consecutive legs without authorization, will result in a time penalty or disqualification at the Organizer's sole discretion.

7. VEHICLES, DRIVERS, AND SUPPORT CREW

THIS SECTION IS MATERIAL. YOUR TEAM'S VEHICLE AND DRIVER ARE YOUR RESPONSIBILITY AND YOURS ALONE.

7.1 The Organizer provides no vehicles. The Organizer does not supply, select, rent, inspect, maintain, fuel, insure, operate, or control any Team vehicle. Your Team's driver is the agent of your Team and is not, and shall not be deemed to be, an agent, employee, contractor, servant, or representative of the Organizer for any purpose. The Organizer exercises no control over the manner in which any Team vehicle is operated.

7.2 Driver requirements. Every person who operates a Team vehicle in connection with the Event must:

(a) be at least twenty-one (21) years of age;
(b) hold a valid, current, unrestricted, and unsuspended driver's license;
(c) be covered by automobile liability insurance meeting or exceeding the minimum limits required by Oklahoma law, with the vehicle owner's policy primary;
(d) be fully rested and alert at the time of driving and must not drive while fatigued, drowsy, or sleep-deprived;
(e) be entirely free of alcohol, cannabis, illegal drugs, and impairing medications; and
(f) comply with all traffic laws, speed limits, parking restrictions, and the instructions of law enforcement, course marshals, and volunteers.

7.3 Mandatory awake safety officer. Every Team vehicle must at all times while in motion on the course carry a designated safety officer/navigator who is awake and alert, seated in the front passenger seat. The safety officer may not be the driver. This is a mandatory contractual obligation, not a recommendation.

7.4 One vehicle. Each Team may operate one (1) Event vehicle on the course at a time. Team vehicle identification must be displayed clearly and visibly at all times; entry into exchange zones depends on it. Motorhomes, RVs, campers, trailers, buses, and limousines are prohibited on the course and at all exchange zones, for Teams and spectators alike. Vehicles exceeding 6'6" in width or 20' in length are prohibited.

7.5 Parking and stopping. Vehicles must park only in designated areas, must pull completely off the roadway, must remain to the right of the white fog line, and must not park on the same side of the road within 500 feet before or after any exchange chute. Vehicles must never block or impede traffic. Runners may be dropped off and picked up only at designated exchange zones.

7.6 No following or illuminating runners. Team vehicles may not follow behind, pace, shadow, or use headlights to illuminate any runner on any leg. This practice is dangerous to the runner, to traffic, and to other Participants, and is grounds for immediate disqualification.

7.7 No-support legs. On legs designated in the Race Bible as no-van-support legs, Team vehicles may not stop, park, or provide any support at any point and must proceed directly to the next exchange zone.

7.8 Open containers. No open container of alcohol may be present in any Team vehicle at any time, consistent with Oklahoma law. Violation results in immediate disqualification and removal of the Team from the course, and may result in referral to law enforcement.

7.9 Team indemnity for vehicle operation. EACH TEAM AND EACH PARTICIPANT AGREES TO INDEMNIFY, DEFEND, AND HOLD HARMLESS THE RELEASED PARTIES FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, DAMAGES, LOSSES, LIABILITIES, COSTS, AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING REASONABLE ATTORNEYS' FEES) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THE OWNERSHIP, RENTAL, MAINTENANCE, LOADING, PARKING, OR OPERATION OF ANY TEAM VEHICLE, INCLUDING ANY CLAIM BROUGHT BY A PARTICIPANT, A PASSENGER, ANOTHER MOTORIST, A PEDESTRIAN, A BYSTANDER, OR A PROPERTY OWNER, AND INCLUDING CLAIMS ARISING FROM THE NEGLIGENCE OF ANY TEAM DRIVER.

8. RULES OF COMPETITION AND CODE OF CONDUCT

8.1 Race Bible incorporated. The Race Bible is incorporated into this Agreement by reference. You must read it in full and comply with it at all times. Where this Agreement and the Race Bible conflict, this Agreement controls.

8.2 Running direction — mandatory. Runners must run on the LEFT shoulder of the roadway, FACING oncoming traffic, and must use sidewalks or designated paths where available, unless course signage, a course marshal, or law enforcement directs otherwise. This requirement reflects Oklahoma law (47 O.S. § 11-506), which requires pedestrians on a roadway without sidewalks to travel on the left side facing traffic and to yield to approaching vehicles.

8.3 Traffic laws. You do not have exclusive use of any roadway. The course is run on open public roads with limited or no traffic control and no road closures. You must obey all traffic laws and signals at all times, including stopping at traffic lights and stop signs, and must yield to all vehicles.

8.4 Night visibility gear — mandatory. During official night hours as published in the Race Bible, every runner on course must wear: (a) a reflective vest with reflective material on the front, back, and shoulders; (b) a headlamp or handheld light; and (c) a blinking LED tail light. Vests must be worn until the time specified in the Race Bible, which may extend past sunrise. Support crew outside a vehicle on or near the roadway must wear a reflective vest at all times, day or night. A runner without required gear will not be permitted on course, and a Team that sends a runner out without it will be penalized or disqualified.

8.5 Bib visibility. The bib must be worn visibly on the front of the outermost layer of clothing at all times while on the road, including over jackets and reflective vests.

8.6 Headphones. Any use of headphones, earbuds, or audio devices that prevents you from hearing traffic, vehicles, other runners, or the instructions of officials is prohibited and is a safety violation.

8.7 Road crossings. Any Participant or support crew member crossing a roadway must do so using an orange crossing flag, day or night, must cross at a crosswalk where one is visible, and must not cross roads with medians. Roads with three or more total lanes must be crossed at a crosswalk. Crossing flags are issued at check-in; a $15.00 charge applies to each flag not returned.

8.8 Prohibited conduct. The following are prohibited and are grounds for immediate disqualification and removal: theft; assault, fighting, or threats; harassment, discrimination, cyberstalking, or conduct causing emotional distress toward any Participant, volunteer, staff member, vendor, spectator, resident, or online follower; profanity or verbal abuse directed at any person; disregard of safety rules or of the instructions of officials, marshals, volunteers, or law enforcement; use of alcohol or illegal drugs on course; littering, urination, or defecation on public or private property; trespass on private property; use of bicycles, pacers, or unauthorized assistance; bringing dogs or other animals on course; operating drones or unmanned aircraft; violating posted quiet-zone restrictions in residential areas; and any conduct that in the Organizer's sole judgment endangers any person or brings the Event into disrepute.

8.9 Enforcement. Course marshals and officials may issue safety violations. Three (3) safety violations result in confiscation of the Team's bib and removal of the Team from the course. Officials may disqualify any Participant or Team on the spot, without warning and without a prior violation, for conduct they deem seriously unsafe or in serious breach of the rules. The Organizer may also remove any Participant or Team from the course for safety reasons in the absence of any rule violation.

8.10 Sole discretion; no appeal. The Organizer has sole and unreviewable discretion to interpret and apply the rules, to determine whether a violation occurred, and to impose any penalty it deems appropriate, including time penalties, forfeiture of results, awards and records, disqualification, expulsion, cancellation of current and future registrations, and permanent bans from future Events. There is no right of appeal, and no refund, credit, transfer, or deferral will be issued.

8.11 Cut-off times. The Organizer may impose and enforce cut-off times at any exchange zone or at the finish. Teams failing to meet a cut-off may be removed from the course, transported forward, or disqualified, without refund.

9. ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND ASSUMPTION OF RISKS

READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT DESCRIBES SPECIFIC WAYS YOU COULD BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED AT THIS EVENT.

9.1 Inherently dangerous activity. You acknowledge and agree that participation in a 100-mile overnight relay conducted on open public roads, in darkness, in December, in Oklahoma, with team-operated support vehicles and without road closures, is an inherently dangerous activity that carries real and substantial risks of serious bodily injury, permanent disability, paralysis, disfigurement, and death. These risks cannot be eliminated regardless of the care taken by the Organizer or by anyone else.

9.2 Specific risks you knowingly and voluntarily assume. You expressly acknowledge that you have been informed of, understand, appreciate, and knowingly and voluntarily assume each of the following risks, and all other risks of participation:

Traffic and vehicle risks

(j) Running multiple legs with inadequate recovery;
(k) Disorientation, confusion, hallucination, and impaired ability to recognize your own physical distress;

Environmental and medical risks

9.4 Voluntary and informed. You acknowledge that your participation is wholly voluntary and purely recreational. It is not a necessity of life. No employment, education, medical care, housing, government benefit, public accommodation, or other service of practical necessity is conditioned on it. You were free to decline, you had reasonable alternatives available to you, and you had adequate time to review this Agreement before paying any fee. You are choosing to accept these risks in exchange for the opportunity to participate.

9.5 Personal responsibility. You accept sole responsibility for your own conduct, actions, safety, equipment, hydration, nutrition, clothing, and decisions, and for continuously assessing whether conditions and your own condition permit you to continue safely.

17. DISPUTE RESOLUTION — ARBITRATION, CLASS WAIVER, AND JURY WAIVER

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS HOW DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND THE ORGANIZER ARE RESOLVED AND REQUIRES INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION INSTEAD OF A COURT TRIAL OR CLASS ACTION.

17.1 Governing law. This Agreement and any dispute arising out of or relating to it or to the Event are governed by the laws of the State of Oklahoma, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. You agree that Oklahoma has a substantial relationship to this Agreement because the Event is conducted entirely within Oklahoma.

17.2 Informal resolution first. Before commencing arbitration, you agree to notify the Organizer in writing at route66relayrace@gmail.com describing the dispute and the relief sought, and to negotiate in good faith for thirty (30) days.

17.3 BINDING ARBITRATION. ANY DISPUTE, CLAIM, OR CONTROVERSY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THIS AGREEMENT, YOUR REGISTRATION, THE EVENT, OR YOUR PARTICIPATION — INCLUDING CLAIMS IN CONTRACT, TORT, STATUTE, AND CONSUMER PROTECTION LAW, AND EXPRESSLY INCLUDING CLAIMS FOR PERSONAL INJURY, BODILY INJURY, AND WRONGFUL DEATH — SHALL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY BY FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION, administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules and, where applicable, its Consumer Arbitration Rules, before a single arbitrator.

17.4 Seat and hearings. The seat of arbitration is Oklahoma County, Oklahoma. Hearings may be conducted by videoconference, telephone, or on documents only at the election of either party or the arbitrator, so that neither party is required to travel. The arbitrator has authority to determine arbitrability and to award any relief available in a court of law, but may not award relief on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative basis. The award is final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

17.5 Governing arbitration law. This arbitration agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq., and, to the extent applicable, the Oklahoma Uniform Arbitration Act, 12 O.S. § 1851 et seq.

17.6 CLASS ACTION WAIVER. YOU AND THE ORGANIZER AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF, CLASS MEMBER, OR REPRESENTATIVE IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN THE CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE PERSON. If this Section 17.6 is found unenforceable as to any claim, that claim — and only that claim — shall be severed and brought in court, and the remainder of this Section 17 shall remain in full force.

17.7 JURY TRIAL WAIVER. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AND THE ORGANIZER EACH KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY, AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE EVENT. This waiver applies independently of, and survives, any finding that the arbitration agreement is unenforceable.

17.8 30-DAY OPT-OUT RIGHT. You may opt out of Sections 17.3 through 17.6 (arbitration and class waiver) by sending written notice to route66relayrace@gmail.com within THIRTY (30) DAYS after you first accept this Agreement. The notice must include your full printed name, mailing address, email address used at registration, and the words "REJECT ARBITRATION." This opt-out provision must be strictly complied with; the doctrine of substantial compliance does not apply. Opting out does not affect any other provision of this Agreement, including the jury trial waiver in Section 17.7, the release in Section 10, or the indemnity in Section 11. If you opt out, disputes will be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Oklahoma County, Oklahoma, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of and venue in those courts and waive any objection based on inconvenient forum.

17.9 Exceptions. Either party may bring an individual action in small claims court, and either party may seek temporary or permanent injunctive or other equitable relief in the courts of Oklahoma County, Oklahoma, to protect intellectual property or to prevent irreparable harm, without waiving this Section 17.

17.10 Survival. This Section 17 survives termination of this Agreement and any cancellation of the Event.

18. PRIVACY AND COMMUNICATIONS

18.1 Your personal information is handled in accordance with the Privacy Policy at route66relayrace.com/privacy-policy, incorporated by reference.

18.2 You consent to receive Event-related communications by email, SMS, and phone at the contact information you provide, including registration confirmations, payment notices, safety alerts, course changes, weather advisories, and race-day operational messages. These are transactional communications essential to your safety and participation and you may not opt out of them while registered. Marketing communications are separate and you may unsubscribe from those at any time.

18.3 Message and data rates may apply. The Organizer is not liable for failed, delayed, or misdirected delivery of any communication, or for your failure to receive or read one.

19. GENERAL PROVISIONS

19.1 Severability and blue-pencil. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid, void, or unenforceable in whole or in part, that provision shall be modified and reformed to the minimum extent necessary to render it valid and enforceable, and enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law; if it cannot be so reformed, it shall be severed. In every case, the remainder of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. The parties expressly intend that the release, indemnity, limitation of liability, and arbitration provisions be given the broadest effect the law allows.

19.2 Entire agreement. This Agreement, together with the Refund Policy, Privacy Policy, Accessibility Statement, and Race Bible, constitutes the entire agreement between you and the Organizer regarding the Event and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous representations, understandings, and agreements, whether oral or written. You are not relying on any statement, promise, or representation not expressly contained in this Agreement.

19.3 No waiver. No failure or delay by the Organizer in exercising any right constitutes a waiver of that right. No waiver is effective unless in writing and signed by the Organizer.

19.4 Assignment. You may not assign or transfer this Agreement or any right under it. The Organizer may assign this Agreement freely, including in connection with a sale of the Event or of substantially all of its assets.

19.5 Independent parties. Nothing in this Agreement creates any partnership, joint venture, agency, employment, or fiduciary relationship between you and the Organizer.

19.6 Notices. Notices to the Organizer must be sent to route66relayrace@gmail.com. Notices to you will be sent to the email address on your registration and are deemed received on the date sent.

19.7 Headings and interpretation. Headings are for convenience only and do not affect interpretation. "Including" means "including without limitation." This Agreement shall not be construed against the drafter; both parties have had the opportunity to review it and to consult counsel.

19.8 Survival. Sections 4.6, 5, 8.10, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, and 19 survive the completion, cancellation, or termination of the Event and of this Agreement.

19.9 Force of the Race Bible. The Race Bible may be amended at any time before or during the Event for safety, permitting, or operational reasons, and the amended version binds you upon posting or announcement.
