Packet pickup folks are the welcome party!

You'll check runners in, get them their timing chip (race morning only), hand out their sweet free swag, and be ready to answer any questions they might have. (Don't worry there will be staff around to direct them to if you don't know all the answers!)

If you wish to stay longer than your assignment or can't quite make the start of your shift, let us know, we can be flexible to work with your schedule.

Cedar Elm Aid Station, Lead High Priority

6:30 am CDT - 4:30 pm CDT (At least 1 more needed)

Volunteer

Details

You've volunteered an aid station for Tejas Trails before. While we still provide all of the supplies the aid station needs, you take the reins. You're the captain of this ship! This is also a great chance for a crew to come together and "take over" an aid station.

Aid Station leads are a huge help. This role has the proven expertise to help new volunteers through the experience, showing them the ropes on how to prepare the food, mix the Tailwind and how to be a knock-out support to the runners. As an experienced team member, you will communicate with event organizers if supplies are running low or emergencies arise.
