By registering as a member of the Lumpen Radio Team for the 2026 Bank of America Chicago Marathon, I understand and agree to the following terms:
1. Fundraising Minimum
I agree to raise a minimum of $2,200 (“Fundraising Minimum”) for Lumpen Radio, WLPN-LP Chicago 105.5FM (“Charity”).
I understand that any funds raised above this amount are encouraged and greatly appreciated.
2. Guaranteed Entries
I understand that the Charity is providing me with a guaranteed entry to the 2026 Bank of America Chicago Marathon.
I acknowledge that this guaranteed entry cannot be deferred, transferred, or postponed for any reason, including injury, personal issues, or schedule conflicts.
3. Event Registration
I understand that registering with Lumpen Radio is not the same as registering for the marathon.
I am solely responsible for completing official event registration by deadlines set by the event organizers.
4. Fundraising Deadlines & Consequences
I agree to complete all fundraising by October 9, 2026.
If I do not reach the Fundraising Minimum by that deadline, I authorize the Charity to:
• Charge my credit card on file for the remaining balance
• Race registration fees are non-refundable and separate from my fundraising commitment
5. Injury, Illness, or Non-Participation
I understand that marathon training and participation carry inherent risks. If I become injured, ill, or otherwise unable to participate, the Charity may reduce my fundraising obligation to 50% of the Fundraising Minimum, provided I submit appropriate documentation (e.g., medical note or proof of emergency).
6. Waiver of Liability
I assume all risks associated with training for and participating in the event.
I release Lumpen Radio, its parent organization Public Media Institute, its staff, directors, and volunteers from any and all claims or liability arising from my participation.
7. Use of Likeness
I grant permission to Lumpen Radio, its parent organization Public Media Institute, to use my name, image and likeness in connection with fundraising, promotional, or event-related communications.
8. Entire Agreement
I understand that this Agreement reflects the full understanding between myself and the Charity.
Any changes must be made in writing and approved by both parties.
By checking the acknowledgement box during registration, I confirm that I have read, understand, and agree to these terms, and I commit to fundraising for Lumpen Radio, an initiative of Public Media Institute.
