Race Volunteer

What are you doing on race weekend?  Want to be of real help to lots of amazing athletes?  Here are a few of the areas where your volunteer help would be greatly appreciated--at all UltraSports races.

During the Race:
Aid stations or timing stations along the race route
Work at an aid station to offer runners water, food, ice, and more as they arrive--and other help as needed.  Insure that they have crossed timing mats or related equipment.  You may choose your location and hours of service from the list on the Volunteer registration page on each race’s website.  Positions are filled on a first-come, first-served basis. Note: This is a great way to accrue required school service credits.

You and your friends or organization may also "own" an aid station:  Take full responsibility for a site--even decorate it and be creative in support of the runners.  Contact Race Director Bob Becker directly to discuss the details.   (bob@ultrasportsllc.com)
  
Finish line support: Greet arriving runners with well-earned applause. Hand out medals and buckles, retrieve their personal "drop bags", prep and offer food and drinks and much more.  Join in celebrating accomplishment here!

Signage placement and take-down along the course
 

Logistics support: 

Before the race, load gear and equipment from the warehouse into race trucks

During the race, drive or assist on trucks or vans to set up, resupply and take down aid or timing stations and the finish line.

Check-in and packet pick-up: night before the race, or day of.  Set up and take down tables, runner bags, shirts, race numbers and other items.
