This creates 2 lanes allowing fast finishers a clear lane to run. (All volunteers needed)
Cleanup: 5 volunteers follow truck and trailer picking up verticades and bases. Truck will be following the sweep vehicle. This group will walk some of the course and once back on Raffel Rd. will release Raffel Rd. volunteers to other duties once verticades are loaded. Truck will proceed to city trailer and unload all verticades and bases back on to the city trailer.
