VOLUNTEER POSITIONS

 

PRE-RACE:

  • Bag Packing – Stuff racer bags/Put Registration Packets together; Easy/Sit-down- inside or maybe in a outdoor tent.
  • Registration/Packet Pickup– This is a great place to be if you would like to meet the athletes or if you plan on racing in the event. This job usually takes place under a tent or inside and does not require a lot of standing. The packet pickup position can be worked the day before the event or in the morning before the event even starts.
  • Set-up - This group works along side our staff setting up for the event. Moderate to Heavy manual work and the majority of the work will be outside.

RACE DAY:

  • Transition/Pre-Event Athlete Check-In
    Hand out timing chips and perform body marking on the athletes. Very easy position and only lasts a few hours during the morning pre-race segment.
  • Registration/Packet Pickup
    See above!
  • Transition Area Monitor
    This is an ideal position for those who have family and friends participating in the event. You would be working either at transition, the finish line, or at the swim start/finish. Most of these positions will require standing. What a great way to cheer your family and friends on from the starting line, transition or finish line!
  • Swim Course
    These crew members help us direct athletes and work with our safety crew during the swim segment. If you are a certified life guard, be sure to let us know that.
  • Course Traffic Marshal
    Both bike and run in most events. This is our most technical position. You will be in the middle of the race action. This position is great for those who can stand for several hours and can multi-task. You will help direct traffic, racers and help law enforcement. We would like these positions to be staffed with those people that have event racing or volunteering experience.
  • Run Course Aid Stations
    What a fantastic way for a club, family or friends to cheer on racers. This position will be doing a combination of sitting and standing, most of the time in a group setting. Your job would require you to motivating racers, help racers with directions, supplying racers with what they like best: water, sport drinks, gel and most importantly a smiling face.
