You must read and agree to the following waiver in order to participate in this event.
ACCIDENT WAIVER AND RELEASE OF LIABILITY
I acknowledge that the event in which I will participate, whether as a participant, contestant, entrant, volunteer or spectator or a combination of the foregoing, is a test of my physical and mental abilities and carries with it the potential for significant injury, property damage or loss, or death. I acknowledge there are many risks associated with participating in this event, including but not limited to weather conditions, road conditions, course difficulty, the condition of my equipment, vehicle traffic, lack of hydration, actions of other people, my own physical condition (participant), and other unforeseen hazards. I hereby assume all of the risks of participating in any way in this event. I hereby certify that I am physically fit and have sufficiently trained and prepared for participation in this event. If I participate in this event as a bicyclist, I will wear an ANSI-approved helmet at all times while riding in the event and will abide by all state and local laws at all times.
I acknowledge that cycling is a dangerous sport/activity in which I participate at my own risk. In consideration of the event sponsor’s/operator’s agreement to permit me to participate in the event, either as a participant, contestant, entrant, volunteer or spectator, I hereby, for myself, my heirs, assigns and personal representatives, waive all claims against, and release and forever discharge, Red Rock Events, LLC and Ride Southern Utah, and their respective owners, members, managers, employees, officers, directors, agents, sponsors, promoters, volunteers and affiliates whosoever from any and all liabilities, damages, claims, losses, costs or expenses arising from or attributable in any way to any act or omission to act relating to my participation in the event in any manner, including my traveling to and from the event.

Cancellation Policy
All of our hard costs occur before the event and will be paid for by Ride Southern Utah and Red Rock Events, LLC regardless if you show up or not and many are incurred months before the event. We try and balance this with a fair cancellation policy. We will not be offering refunds for cancellations. You may defer your entry to another event or transfer it to another rider. Deferrals will incur a $15 service fee. Transfers and deferrals can be done up to 2 days before the race. Entries can be deferred to any other ride during the same calendar year.• Additional purchased items will be mailed to you if you cancel ahead of the event day to all riders who live in the lower 48.
Transfer Policy
You may transfer your event registration to another rider within 7 days of the event for a $10 transfer fee. You may also transfer your event registration to one of our other events within 5 days of the event for a $10 transfer fee.
Weather Policy
Mesquite Madness will not be canceled due to weather unless the event director feels that riders’ safety is in jeopardy. If an event is canceled within an hour of the start time due to extreme weather, riders will be given a 50% off coupon for any future Red Rock Bicycle event within 12 months. Extreme weather is rare in Southern Utah and does not include rain, wind, cold, or heat. We're thinking more in the line of ice storms or volcanoes erupting.
Any rider that registers for an event that has been canceled by Ride Southern Utah ahead of the event date will receive a 100% refund.
