Volunteer Requirement
All LOCAL teams must provide three (3) volunteers to help along the race course (sorry, van drivers do not count as volunteers). Teams are considered local if they have 1 or more team members within 100 miles of any point on the course.
If no one on your teams lives within 100 miles of any point on the course, contact the race director to receive an exemption from your volunteer requirements.
Volunteer Sign-Up
There are two ways to add volunteers to your team:
1.) Team Captains can login and use the "Invite Volunteer" feature on their team page to send an email that invites people to join their team as a volunteer. Once the volunteer has created a user account and joined the team, the team captain or the volunteer will be able to sign up for a volunteer shift from the "Team Page".
2) Volunteers can sign up directly for a shift from this page. To do this, follow these steps:
- Click the "Log In" button at the very top of this page to either log in or create a new profile if you are new to the site.
- Once you have logged in, click the "Volunteer Sign Ups" button on the top right of this page.
- Sign up for a shift and select the team name you are associated with.
Make sure you know the team name for which you are volunteering so that you can associate your service with the right team.
If you need to download your volunteer packet or if you forgot which shift you signed up for, login and view your team page.
