Some of the things we need volunteers for include: Registration Check in: Assistance needed in handing out the race packets the evening before the race and on race morning. Finish line timers: Several volunteers are needed to help record the finish times of all the runners. Assistance is needed all day during the race, but any amount of time would be helpful. Finish area help: Several volunteers are needed to setup of the finish area and help to serve the post race food to the participants. Aid Stations: Lots are volunteers are needed to man the 10 aids stations located along the course. Help is needed to ensure smooth operation of the aid station and to assist and cheer on runners. Course marking: A couple of volunteers are needed to check the course marking of several key locations along the course on the morning of race day. Delivery of runners drop bags: We need one or two volunteers who have a 4 wheel drive car and would be willing to drive runner's drop bags to the top of Pipeline Road. Drivers are needed early in the morning to drop the bags off and also in the evening to pick the bags up. This is a great opportunity to drive up Pipeline Road which is now closed to everyday traffic. Water stocking on Guaje Ridge: Starting about a month before the race we will begin to stock water at the Guaje Ridge Aid Station. We need many volunteers to hike water to the top of the Mitchell Trail where the Guaje Ridge Aid Station is located. If you are going out for a hike, please consider helping by carrying a gallon of water up there. Trail Maintenance: Once the snow melts, volunteers will be needed to help clear the trails for race day. This consists of mostly clearing down trees and cutting bushes back from the trial. Race Preparation: Volunteers and needed to help prepare for the race. Some of the activities include packet stuffing, organizing aid station supplies, and setting up for the pre race pasta dinner. Post race cleanup: Volunteers needed to help clean the finish area location, aid stations, clear trail markers, and reorganize leftover supplies. Course sweep: Volunteers and needed to hike, run, or bike the course after the last runner to ensure that all the runners are accounted for.
