I acknowledge that I understand its intent, and for myself, my heirs, executors, administrators and representatives, do hereby agree and will absolve and hold harmless Denver Food Rescue, event sponsors, cooperating organizations and any other parties connected with this event in anyway together with their respective successors and assigns (the sponsors) singularly and collectively, from and against any blame and liability for any injury, harm loss, inconvenience or any damage of any kind whatsoever, which may result from or be connected in any way to my participation in the Denver Food Rescue Ride.
