Pre-Race Volunteers

Water Haul High Priority

You must be 18 or older to volunteer for this task.

At least 76 more volunteers needed.

Details

This is a huge operation: stocking water for the Ross, Bridger, Baldy, and 1/2Way Aid Stations, all by human motive force! We depend on and appreciate all volunteers. Hauling water is rewarding and puts you on the HIGHEST priority category for getting into the run the FOLLOWING year.

Each of these Water Hauls will take place on an early Saturday morning. The first Water Haul may be as soon as the 3rd Saturday of June, conditions depending. Subsequent Water Hauls will take place on consecutive Saturdays as needed, avoiding the Saturday observing the 4th-of-July holiday. For details (eg, exact time and location), you MUST to sign up before at least 24 hours before a given haul.

The water comes in 2.5 gallon jugs (20lbs/jug). So a large backpack is needed for the Baldy Haul and the 1/2 Way Haul, both of which require following a steep technical trail for several miles. We prefer each hauler to be over 18 years old.
