Road/Trail Crossing Attendents High Priority

Race Sweeper Medium Priority

June 26, 2027

Details

A race sweeper is one of the most important behind‑the‑scenes safety roles in any trail or burro race. They’re the last people on the course, making sure every participant—and every burro—gets through safely and that the course is fully cleared. This can also be done while riding your horse/mule/donkey on the beautiful trails.

Course Clean Up Medium Priority

June 26, 2027

Details

A race course clean‑up volunteer is the crew that restores the course to its original condition after the event. This is picking up all the race markers and manure. They’re essential for keeping trails, roads, and public spaces respected—especially for burro races where we want to leave zero trace.

Location

This is needed on the race track and on the trails. Tools will be provided for this task.

Award Table Attendent High Priority
