PARTICIPATION WAIVER AND RELEASE OF LIABILITY

I understand that using Northern Maine Community Trails, including mountain biking, nordic skiing, fat biking, trail running, snowshoeing, walking, and other recreational activities, involves inherent and unavoidable risks. These risks include falls, collisions, changing weather, trail conditions, equipment failure, and other hazards that may result in serious injury or death.

I understand that trails may contain unmarked hazards, that conditions may change at any time, and that emergency response services may be delayed or unavailable.

I am choosing to participate voluntarily. I knowingly and freely assume all risks, both known and unknown, including risks arising from the negligence of Northern Maine Community Trails, to the fullest extent allowed by law.

In consideration for being allowed to use the trails and facilities, I hereby waive, release, and discharge Northern Maine Community Trails, its volunteers, organizers, and affiliates from any and all claims, demands, damages, or liability arising out of or related to my participation, including claims based on negligence, to the fullest extent permitted by Maine law.

I agree to follow all posted signs, trail markings, and instructions. I will use equipment that is in good working condition and appropriate for the activity. I will wear a properly fitted helmet while mountain biking and use appropriate safety gear for all activities. I will not enter closed or restricted areas, and I will use reasonable judgment and control at all times.

I confirm that I am physically able to participate and have no condition that would prevent safe participation.
