Liability Waiver (Interim version — July 2026)

BC RUN METHOD LLC — ASSUMPTION OF RISK AND RELEASE OF LIABILITY

By checking the agreement box and purchasing a BC Run Method program, I acknowledge and agree to the following:

  1. ASSUMPTION OF RISK. Running and physical exercise carry inherent risks, including but not limited to muscle, joint, and bone injury, cardiovascular events, heat-related illness, falls, overexertion, and aggravation of pre-existing conditions. I voluntarily assume all risks associated with following any training program provided by BC Run Method LLC.
  2. REMOTE, UNSUPERVISED TRAINING. I understand that BC Run Method provides training plans remotely, without in-person supervision or real-time form correction. I am solely responsible for performing all training safely and within my own abilities.
  3. NOT MEDICAL ADVICE. BC Run Method provides athletic coaching services only. Nothing provided constitutes medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, physical therapy, or rehabilitation services. Although co-founder Ali Summers holds a Doctor of Physical Therapy license, she acts solely as an athletic coach in this business, and no clinician-patient relationship is created.
  4. MEDICAL CLEARANCE. I confirm I am physically able to participate in a running training program, or have consulted a physician before beginning. I agree to stop exercising and seek medical attention immediately if I experience chest pain, dizziness, severe shortness of breath, or other warning signs.
  5. ACCURATE INFORMATION. I confirm the health and training information I provided on my intake form is accurate and complete, and I agree to notify BC Run Method if my health status changes.
  6. RELEASE. To the maximum extent permitted by law, I release and hold harmless BC Run Method LLC, its owners Shawn Booth and Ali Summers, and its agents from any and all claims arising from my participation in its programs. My sole remedy is limited to amounts I have paid to BC Run Method LLC.
  7. GOVERNING LAW. This agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Tennessee. If any provision is found unenforceable, the remainder remains in effect.

This waiver will be updated with a final attorney-prepared version prior to the start of training, and athletes will be asked to review and accept the updated version.
