MatSu Relay is a 52 mile, 12 leg running relay starting at Hatcher Pass and descending to Wasilla. Designed for teams of 6, with each person running twice, or for more challenge, sign up a smalle team, or even attempt a solo ultra!

In consideration for my team registration in the Alaska Relay ("the Event"), I understand and agree to the following:

1.	I will provide a current email address, knowing that important updates prior to the event are
 communicated via email.
2.	My team is not considered fully registered until payment has been made and received by NxNW.
3.	All team members must sign the participation waiver prior to starting the event. A separate 
participation waiver will be made available for any minors participating.
4.	The minimum age for participants is fourteen (14) years of age. Any potential participant who 
will be under age 14 on race day MUST HAVE APPROVAL from the Race Director.
5.	**VOLUNTEERS** My team will either supply volunteers for the event or pay the volunteer fee, 
the number or cost being dependent on the size type of our team. See Volunteer section in Race Guide
 for details.
6.	My team must be able to complete the course with an average pace of 11 minutes per mile. If our 
projected pace is slower than this, the Race Director will make special arrangements for our team that
 we will abide by. Additionally, if our team slows down enough to fall behind scheduled exchange zone 
times, the Race Director may give instructions on catching up to the field that we will abide by.
7.	I understand that once our registration is paid, the fee is only refundable or deferable according 
to the cancellation terms. Any deferment or refund NxNW provides beyond the described terms, whether 
past or present, is not binding for any other refund or deferment scenario.
8.	All team members must sign the participation waiver prior to starting the event.
9.	The course is held on public roadways, paths, and trails. Participants will at times be on road 
shoulders alongside active traffic. Some portions of the course are rural and 911 emergency treatment
 will not be immediately available. 
10.	I understand that as captain, I am responsible for informing my team of the rules as stated in the 
Race Guide, and that infractions by individuals may result in penalties and/or disqualifications against 
the team as a whole. I also understand that all participants are subject to all state and local laws for
 vehicles, pedestrians, and general behavior.
