Plan on being at your station 15 minutes prior to the start of your shift for training and plan to stay 15 minutes after your shift ends so you can train your replacement.

Bring clothing and supplies for all weather conditions.

Race Event Jobs:
These are jobs that will be on going throughout the entire event. These jobs will require that you be very familiar with the rules and regulations.

Log-in Registrars
This is one of most exciting jobs. These volunteers will log-in racers who are starting their lap, and will log-out those racers who are finishing their lap. They will also be responsible for recording the times of each rider's lap. This is a critical job as it acts as back up timing.

Course Marshals
Volunteers will be positioned at various places on the race course, to ensure that riders are healthy and happy, and to maintain crowd control. You will maintain radio contact with EMS and Base Station. This job requires all weather gear.

Emergency Staff
These people must be at least certified EMTs, and other trained medical personnel who can assist EMS Staff in case of injury, or any medical crisis.

Maintenance Crew
Volunteers will make sure that the course markings are still intact, make any necessary repairs, etc. on the course, and install flashers for night laps. They will also help with clean up during their shift and maintain the start/finish area.

Venue setup
Setting up for the event is a tremendous undertaking. If you are planning to arrive during the week before the event, we could use your help setting up the tents, wiring the base area for electricity, setting up chairs and tables, installing signage, course marking, etc.

Venue Breakdown
When the race is over, the event isn't over. When all is said and done, the glamorous task of wrapping up from the weekend's activities must be completed. Breaking down the venue, taking down the race course, tidying up the campground, trail repair etc.
