Details
Volunteers are responsible for making sure runners are kept safe and don’t have to stop for any traffic. They stop any vehicles that would impede a runner along the coned course by waving their flag. Course flaggers will keep the vehicle stopped until there is a gap in the runners large enough to let the vehicle move forward. They keep the course safe until the “cut off” pacer or course ATV passes their assigned station.
Be aware that the bend in the road is very tight and vehicles that are towing trailers have to use the whole road in order to make the turn. As a result, there are no orange cones around the turn. To keep runners safe, volunteers need to stand on either side of the turn, within sight of each other, and stop traffic while runners are making the turn. Only allow vehicles to turn when there are gaps in the runners and it is safe for vehicles to proceed. Vehicles will mostly be coming up the canyon. However, vehicles coming down the canyon will use the same lane as those coming up the canyon. Volunteers need to watch each other and coordinate the flow of traffic both ways. Volunteers should also encourage runners to stay as far right as possible.
Please notify the volunteer coordinators as soon as possible if you are unable to fulfill this commitment by emailing:

Group text messages with important race day updates or instructions may be sent by the Volunteer Coordinator, to flagger volunteers. To opt out, prior to race week, please email:
