Join the Brigance Brigade Foundation on Sunday, April 29th, 2018 at 9 am for the 4th annual BBF 5.7K Championship Event at Baltimore’s beautiful Canton Waterfront Park (3001 Boston St, Baltimore, MD 21224).

In 2018, we #RaceforALS to honor former Baltimore Raven O.J. Brigance as he manages over a decade of living with ALS; more than a decade of embodying that All Things Are Possible Fighting ALS.

In solidarity with his tremendous strength and service, we will race, run, walk, stroll, roll, and raise funds for ALS families, just in time to kick off the month of May -- ALS Awareness Month. Join us!

In honor of O.J. Brigance's jersey number (#57), the 5.7k Championship Event features:

Timed 5.7k run/walk ($40 pre-registration, $45 April 29-30th)
1.57 mile run/walk ($35 pre-registration, $40 April 29-30th)
Kids' fun run/walk ($10 - all dates)
Virtual Racer - $40
Professional timing services provided by Blue Cheetah Sports Timing and Event Management, LLC

Proceeds equip, encourage, and empower those battling ALS and their families.

In 2017, participants from 17 states registered for the 5.7k Championship Event! In 2018, we are again setting a goal to increase participation and show ALS families they are not battling alone.

THIS EVENT IS RAIN OR SHINE! NO REFUNDS WILL BE GIVEN.

For those who want to participate without traveling to Baltimore, or who might not be able to race that day, we offer a Virtual Race Option

- Sign up as a Virtual Racer with your family and friends

- Build your team page to collect donations

- Race your own 5.7k (3.54 miles) or 1.57 miles wherever you are – or -- sit back, prop up your feet, and feel awesome that you equipped, encouraged, and empowered ALS families!

- Engage with the Brigance Brigade Foundation on social media, share your training stories (successes and failures welcome!) and your times using hashtag #RaceforALS

- We will send you a race swag package so you can participate in style

ABOUT THE BRIGANCE BRIGADE FOUNDATION

The foundation was founded by former Baltimore Raven, O.J. Brigance and his wife, Chanda. O.J. Brigance is currently the Director of Player Engagement for the Baltimore Ravens and was a key player for the Ravens during the Super Bowl XXXV Winning Season of 2000.

He was diagnosed with ALS in 2007, and we honor his decade of dedication to the ALS community. Proceeds from the race will benefit the Brigance Brigade Foundation which equips, encourages and empowers people living with ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis). The Brigance Brigade Foundation improves the quality of life for ALS patients and their families by providing access to much-needed equipment, support services, and resource guidance.

Blue Cheetah Sports Timing, LLC

Inclement (Adverse) Weather Policy, Event Cancellation Policy, Refund Policy, Injury Deferment Policy

Blue Cheetah Sports does not cancel events due to weather related interruptions. All races will be held “rain or shine” at all times. Due to the nature of race organization and management and its associated permitting, EMS, and police requirements, this policy is required. Additionally, nearly 85% of all expenses are incurred prior to an event taking place. For the above-listed reasons, Blue Cheetah regrets that there is a zero refund policy for weather related events. The ability of Blue Cheetah -- and our associated customer -- to absorb the immense costs associated with an event cancellation is simply not a viable option.

EVENT CANCELLATIONS BY GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS:

Government entities may, at their sole discretion, require Blue Cheetah Sports to cancel an event in the interest of public safety. Blue Cheetah Sports will never cancel an event without being mandated to do so by the proper government authorities or in the interest of public safety. In the unlikely event that Blue Cheetah Sports is required to cancel an event by government officials, Blue Cheetah Sports may, at its sole discretion, remedy any government required cancellation by electing to perform one or more of the following remedies or alternatives:

2) Offer a discount to a future Blue Cheetah Sports event

3) Reschedule the original event at a time and place that is agreeable with our schedule and the government permitting bodies and/or venue

4) Offer a deferral to a future Blue Cheetah Sports event

5) Mail the participant the shirt, bib, and if applicable, the medal to the registration address on file

6) Arrange for a time and place at a local venue where participants may pick up their race premium items in person

GENERAL REFUND POLICY

With an industry average no-show rate of 15%-20% it is not financially possible to offer participants a registration refund of any kind. Please be sure to check your schedules, obligations, and the weather before signing up for any event.

INJURY DEFERRMENT POLICY

In the unfortunate circumstance that you become injured or fall ill during your training leading up to an event, or for any other reason, Blue Cheetah Sports – in the interest of customer goodwill – may elect to perform one or more of the following remedy options:

1) Defer the participant's entry to the same event the following year

2) Mail the participant’s premium items to the registration address on file

Should you become injured or fall ill and find yourself unable to attend an event for which you have already registered, please contact Blue Cheetah Sports customer service immediately and notify a client advocate of your situation. The most current information on how to contact us can be found on our webpage located at www.BlueCheetahTiming.com and selecting the option “Contact Us”. All contact must be in writing.

In order for Blue Cheetah Sports to recognize and consider an injury deferment, we must receive written documentation from your physician or healthcare provider on their company letterhead stating that you are unable to participate due to injury or illness. The specific nature of the injury or illness does not (and should not) be disclosed in the letter in order to maintain patient medical record confidentiality (HIPAA). The letter must contain our business name, the authorizing doctor or healthcare provider with appropriate contact information, the date of the letter, and the name of the event for which you are requesting a deferment. No deferment will be considered once an event has passed. All deferment letters and requests must be postmarked no later than 0001HRS (12:01 am) on the date of the event. Participants are limited to one deferment per event. Participants may not exercise the use of a deferment if an event has already sold out or reached permit capacity. Deferments may not be transferred to any other individual other than the participant originally registered and named on the medical form.

Registering for an event indicates your agreement and compliance with these policies.

If any of these policies or their parts are found not to be in compliance with current law, the remainder of the policy shall remain in full effect.
