Registration/Athlete Check-In

May 15, 2016

Details

These volunteers need to be professional, friendly, efficient, responsible. At registration/check-in, volunteers will need to check IDs, ensure forms are completed, collect fees, hand out numbers/pins/caps, etc., answer a variety of questions accurately, and body mark the athletes.

Location

Woodruff Family YMCA Parking Lot

Course Marshals

May 15, 2016

Details

Course marshals are the ones who A) direct the athletes (ensuring they don't make a wrong turn, run through an unsafe intersection, think they are lost, etc.) and B) are cheerleaders keeping athlete's motivation up - sometimes it gets lonely, or tiring, out there! We try to station police officers at busy intersections so that they can direct the vehicular traffic while you direct the athletes. A bus will transport you to your spot from the Y and pick you up and bring you back when the last athlete has passed.

Location

Meet at the Woodruff Family YMCA Parking Lot - you will be shuttled to and from your spot on the course.

First Aid/Medical Tent

Transition Area

May 15, 2016

Details

Volunteers are needed to keep the transition area "secure" and to assist athletes and race staff with other tasks. The first shift will ensure that only registered athletes enter the transition area and that they are able to find a spot for their bike, that their bike has bar-end plugs, etc. During the race, volunteers will ensure that non-racers do not enter the transition area, and that all athletes enter and exit the transition area in the right direction. The post-race shift will ensure that athlete numbers and bike numbers match so that nobody goes home with a bike this isn't theirs ;)

Resources Needed

bar end plugs - 1
