I hereby, for myself and my heirs, administrators, and executors agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Releasees, from all liabilities, losses, damages or costs of any nature whatsoever (including court costs and legal fees) incurred by any Releasees as a result of my participation in the Event or any other activities related to the Event.
