Water Stop / Aid Stations High Priority

You must be 15 or older to volunteer for this task.

Minimum met.

Details

For trail races and ultramarathons, you'll generally have aid stations stocked with nutrition and hydration products.

General Setup / Cleanup High Priority

You must be 16 or older to volunteer for this task.

At least 1 more volunteer needed.

Details

Have a large enough crew to quickly return all areas to normal. Coordinate with the city, park, or venue to remove your trash and recyclables after your crew has finished cleaning up. Your setup crew can help with various tasks like finish line set up, unloading boxes, helping others set up, such as DJ's or sound systems, unpacking awards, etc.

Finish Line Fruit Medium Priority

You must be 16 or older to volunteer for this task.

At least 1 more volunteer needed.

Details

Communicate to your volunteers where they will get the fruit for the finish line, where to set up, and when they should be in position.

Packet Pickup Medium Priority

You must be 16 or older to volunteer for this task.

At least 1 more volunteer needed.

Details

I like to use shifts of volunteers to help set up the packet pickup area, check ID's, get bibs and race swag to runners, and use our Participant Check-in feature to mark participants as checked-in or not.

Course Marshals High Priority

You must be 16 or older to volunteer for this task.

Minimum met.

Details

A course marshal is out on the course helping to direct runners, keep everyone safe, and keep cars detoured around the course. It never hurts to cheer for the runners as they pass too.

Floaters High Priority

You must be 16 or older to volunteer for this task.

At least 1 more volunteer needed.

Details

Inevitably, you're going to have volunteers who don't show on race day. Your crew of floaters can fill in at those positions, or jump into a few smaller positions, as required.

Finish Line Water Medium Priority

You must be 14 or older to volunteer for this task.

At least 1 more volunteer needed.

Details

gain, be sure your finish line water crew knows where to meet and at what time. Be sure to tell your volunteers how to organize the water station at the finish line and the most efficient way to pass out water to runners.

Race Medals Medium Priority

You must be 16 or older to volunteer for this task.

At least 1 more volunteer needed.

Details

Some races provide medals to all finishers, while others are based on an age group place. If all finishers will receive a medal, then be sure to staff enough volunteers to keep the finishers moving through quickly after receiving their medals.
