Supply Runner (Volunteer Points - 1)

July 18, 2025

July 19, 2025

Details

This shift will be stationed at Comms HQ (AKA Caleb and Kelsey's House). The people fulfilling this shift will be on call to run supplies to aid stations if they require a restock or just to run other critical errands that come up during the race. It would be best for the people who sign up for this to have a high clearance AWD car at a minimum. It's possible you may do nothing, but sit and watch the live stream, or hear the interworking's of the race comms if all is going well, but its also possible you could spend the majority of the shift driving to some of the remote aid stations.

Raspberry Gulch One - General Volunteer (Volunteer Points - 1)

July 18, 2025

Details

Raspberry is the first and last aid station for runners, and they almost seem like different aid stations! Raspberry 1 is only 7.7 miles into the race and crew accessible, so it's bustling! Runners tend to be in and out, which means mostly filling water bottles, making sure people park correctly, and tracking the HUGE rush of runners without missing anyone. Raspberry 1 is a popular aid station for people to use to double up their shifts since it's over quickly. Raspberry is captained by Wade Janacek (2018 HL100 Finisher) - his third year as Raspberry Captain. He's an excellent organizer and he coordinates the group camping so it's easy and fun for volunteers! Although there is no running water, there is good cell service here and a portapotty.

Hancock- General Aid Station Volunteer (Volunteer Points - 1.5)

July 18, 2025

Details

Ahhhh Hancock. Also known as Carnage City. It's the halfway point of the race and it's a wild ride. This is a crew accessible aid station and is the first point runners are allowed to pick up pacers. If you're looking for a true-100 miler aid station experience, this is your spot. Runners tend to be struggling with all the usual problems eating, drinking, blisters, fatigue, breathing, etc. This is a large aid station with a ton of moving parts. Volunteers have to manage parking, crews, pacers, gear checks, food prep, runner assistance, medical issues, comms issues, and more. Hancock is captained by Nick Leuck- his second year as a Captain and his second at Hancock. Nick is a kick ass captain who balances work and fun, brings a good crew, and knows his shit. Hancock doesn't have cell service, but does have a portapotty and a stream to filter water.

Monarch- General Aid Station Volunteer (Volunteer Points - 1)

July 18, 2025

July 19, 2025

Details

The fortress on the hill, Monarch is a massive sanctuary for runners. It also marks the end of the high altitude running and for many runners their arrival here coincides with sunrise. Affectionately called Fort Monarch due to its size, volunteers here play an important role helping runners recover and manage problems. Runners are usually pretty spread out by this time, but as crews are allowed at Monarch it's always bustling. Complete with electricity, running water, restroom, and cell service for T-Mobile and AT&T this aid station is a roadside mountain oasis! Captained for the 4th year by Matt Royal, this aid station is an absolute blast! Matt has a knack for bringing people together and puts in massive effort to make this aid station legendary. You can't not have a great time at Monarch. Well, unless you are a runner with stomach issues...

Shavano - General Aid Station Volunteer (Volunteer Points - 1)

July 18, 2025

July 19, 2025

Details

This is more of a water-drop and comms hub than a full aid station. The aid station will be just outside the Angel of Shavano Campground and its main purpose to track runners and ensure they don't get turned around in the campground every year there are a few delirious runners who seem to end up here! There is no cell service, but as it's near a campground this aid station is pretty comfortable.

Communication/Runner Tracking

Fooses - Comms/Runner Tracking (Volunteer Points - 2.5)

July 18, 2025

July 19, 2025

Details

Runners will be breathing a sigh of relief when they reach this aid station literally! They have just descended over 2,000 ft since leaving Monarch and the extra oxygen is extremely welcomed. Fooses is one of those aid stations that runners either blow through or spend a lot of time in. Since it's lower in elevation, a lot of runners are finally getting their appetite back. For others, they are chomping at the bit to keep moving. Tucked away along a little creek and pond, it feels remote despite being only a mile from a major highway. Volunteers here take turns working the aid station and manning the highway crossing. Fooses does not have any cell service, but does have a restroom and water to filter.

Finish Line - Comms/Runner Tracking (Volunteer Points - 2.5)

July 19, 2025

This volunteer task is full.

Details

Who doesn't want to welcome runners finishing a 100 miler?? There are few places as inspiring as the finish line of a 100 miler, and even fewer that have the views ours have! Volunteers at the finish will mostly be on cooking duty; making sure runners, crew and other volunteers are nourished and happy. Due to the fact it's at the end of the race, it's easily the biggest party spot on the course! This aid station has restrooms, cell service for all providers, camping, and plenty of left over water and peanut butter. The Finish Line is captained by Kevin Kaucher for his 5th year! Handed the reins about an hour before the first finisher in 2017, Kevin hasn't stopped rocking the aid station since. Always dressed in "MURICA" regalia, Kevin has been adding one piece of American flag apparel to his outfit each year. What will 2021 bring? You'll have to be there to find out, but rumor has it there's a rolling couch involved.
