You must be 14-106 years old to volunteer for this task.

May 18, 2025

Race day registration table volunteers will work at either the pre-registration bib pickup area or the same-day registration area. There are two shifts: early shift and late shift. Timing depends on your availability.

Location

Muscoot Farm activity barn - inside.

Course Checker High Priority

You must be 12-106 years old to volunteer for this task.

May 18, 2025

Details

Part of the "Cobweb Crew"

In order to make sure markings are all in place for the race on race day, we will have at least one runner leave at 7am to run the 5-mile course and check that everything is set the correct way and no hazards have fallen on the course or appeared overnight. Course checkers should be able to return before the start of the 5 mile race at 9:30am and hopefully well before.

When they finish, the course checker(s) should report back to the race director immediately about the condition of the course and any areas that need attention. This is a crucial task that helps make sure all of the runners are as safe as possible.

Location

Meet at Muscoot Activity Barn for check-in.

Finish Line Assistant High Priority

You must be 12-106 years old to volunteer for this task.

The race timer will need 2-3 helpers on race day to assist with timing the race. This is a critical time-sensitive task and helpers must be completely focused during the time of the kids races and the 5 miler. Volunteers can cover both the kids and 5 mile races or just elect to do one or the other.

Location

Check in at Muscoot activity barn - assignment location is at Finish Line.

Course Sweep Medium Priority

At least 2 more volunteers needed.

Details

Course sweep starts 15 minutes after the race and runs/walks behind the slowest runners to make sure everyone is uninjured and off of the course at the end of the race. We need multiple sweeps since sometimes a sweep will stay with an injured runner while help is on its way.

Race Day Photographer Medium Priority

Kids Race Course Marshals High Priority

You must be 14-106 years old to volunteer for this task.

There are two kids races run one after the other. Kids race course marshals keep these young runners on the right course. The two races have slightly different courses and a few markings have to be changed between the 8:30 am and the 8:45 am races. These are critical to keeping the races to the correct distance. This is a key volunteer spot and will require a pre-race day walk-through to make sure the instructions are 100% clear.
