Last Updated: April 29, 2026
1. Acknowledgment of Risk
By using the WillToRun application ("Service"), you acknowledge and agree that:
1.1 Running and Athletic Activities
- Running, trail running, ultramarathon running, and related athletic activities are inherently dangerous and involve risks of serious injury, disability, and death.
- These risks include but are not limited to: falls, collisions, adverse weather, wildlife encounters, dehydration, altitude sickness, cardiac events, musculoskeletal injuries, and getting lost on trails.
- You voluntarily assume all risks associated with your athletic activities.
1.2 Predictions and Recommendations Are Estimates
- Race time predictions, pace recommendations, and split plans generated by WillToRun are estimates based on statistical models and should not be relied upon as guarantees of performance.
- Actual race performance depends on many factors not captured by the Service, including but not limited to: weather conditions, course conditions on race day, nutrition, hydration, sleep, illness, injury, mental state, and altitude acclimatization.
- Terrain classification and difficulty assessments are approximations based on publicly available geospatial data and may not reflect actual trail conditions.
1.3 Not Medical or Professional Advice
- WillToRun does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
- The Service is not a substitute for professional medical advice, fitness assessment, or coaching from a qualified professional.
- You should consult with a physician before beginning any exercise program or making changes to your training based on data from the Service.
- Heart rate, power, and other physiological metrics displayed by the Service are derived from your wearable device data and have not been clinically validated.
2. TerraScore and Performance Metrics
- TerraScore, TerraPace, TerraPower, TerraPeak, and TerraEndurance are proprietary fitness metrics developed by WillToRun.
- These scores are relative performance indicators, not absolute measures of fitness or health.
- Scores are influenced by data quality, GPS accuracy, terrain database coverage, and algorithm limitations.
- You should not use these metrics as the sole basis for training decisions, race strategy, or health assessments.
3. Terrain and Elevation Data
- Terrain classification may be incomplete, inaccurate, or outdated. Trail conditions change due to weather, erosion, construction, and natural events.
- WillToRun does not survey or verify trail conditions. Always carry appropriate maps and navigation tools.
- Elevation data is derived from remote sensing and may differ from actual conditions on the ground.
4. Race Planning
- Race split plans and aid station timing are estimates based on your historical data and course analysis.
- Actual conditions may require significant deviation from any plan.
- You are solely responsible for your safety and decision-making during any race or training run.
- Always follow race director instructions and local regulations.
