For participation in running clinics

Thank you for your interest in our running clinics. Our running clinics have not been designed to help people become athletes who compete in track and field with blades, but just to have fun and enjoy the sport of running together. Motivations vary from people who want to try blading for once, to people who normally swim but want to use blading for land training, to people who want to use blading for school physical education, and so on. We hope you will feel free to join us.

Depending on your sockets and physical condition, it may not be easy to install the blades, but we promise to do our best. Even if we are unable to install the blades this time, we will advise you on what preparations you need to make for similar opportunities in the future.

Prior to the running clinic, you will be contacted regarding the following four points (regarding the consent form, request for sending photos of prosthetic feet, media and other records, and personal information).

About the Consent Form

On the same day, you will be asked to sign a consent form with the following information

  1. I, of my own volition, understand and agree to use the following
  2. I will make every effort to actively enjoy running on my own.
  3. I will try to have positive discussions about running with the organizers and other participants, and will not speak or act in a way that negatively affects others' personalities, etc.
  4. We will use the product in a condition that does not cause any problems for your own health or body.
  5. Follow the instructions of Xiborg staff, prosthetists and instructors for use.
  6. If you are then injured or cause injury to others and a problem arises, you promise to sincerely work with Xiborg to confer and resolve the problem.
  7. If you do not follow our instructions and injure yourself or others, you are responsible for your own injuries and we will not claim compensation.
  8. I represent that the user name, contact information, and age information provided at the end of this document is accurate.

Injuries are an inevitable part of sports, as you will see especially in point 5. We will take the utmost care in our work, but in the unlikely event of an injury, we will respond with the utmost sincerity.

Request for photo submission

We will lend you a blade to run on the day of the event for the day. To prepare your blades, please send us (info@xiborg.jp) the following three photos. You may take them with your smartphone.

About Media and Photography

We will be taking photos and videos of this event for various media, the county, and our company's records. The event will also be live-streamed on the day of the event. If you have any difficulty with this type of exposure for external communication purposes, please contact us in advance.

Personal information about your feet

In principle, your personal information will be managed solely by the organizers of this event. On the other hand, information about your foot (amputation location, reason for amputation, prosthetic history, etc.) may be shared with the doctors and prosthetists who will be attending the event in preparation for the running event. If for any reason you do not agree to this, please feel free to let us know.

Finally.

We apologize for the inconvenience, but it takes time to prepare a prosthetic leg, so we would like to receive three photos here (info@xiborg.jp) as soon as possible. We may call you as well.

We look forward to seeing you all on the day of the event.
