Time slots correspond to each leg between each aid station (or start and finish line).

Sweeping is a rewarding job because you get to spend time on your feet while volunteering, and you get to see the course from a different perspective. It can also be challenging because your speed is determined by the last runners’ speed, and you never know how fast or slowly you will be going. Don’t expect to be running at your pace while you are sweeping as you will often walk or match the pace of the last runner. Another challenging part of sweeping is closing the gap between you and the last runner. For example, if the last runner gets cut off at an aid station, you have to pick up the pace so you can get behind the next runner as soon as possible.

By-Path Meadow (Mile 8ish)
Open time: 1:15am
Close time: 2:30am

This key role is not just about providing nutritional support — but moral support and excitement! As runners travel the course, they will get fatigued; but with your smiling face and cheering attitude, you will become a lifeline for them! Duties include setting up the station, filling water and food, assisting runners while at the aid station, and finally cleaning up the area when the last runner passes.
