Details
Description : This involves a 7.5 mile (round-trip) hike up to the top of Kyhv Peak with a hiking backpack with gear. It is strenuous simply getting up to the aid station. Once on-top it may be cool and wet or dry and warm. It's recommend to bring a second set of dry clothing to change into on the summit. Each shift allows for 1 hour 45 minutes travel time to the summit, four hours on the summit and then 1.5 hour return hike. We will have a tent and sleeping bags for night time shifts, but volunteers will be expected to come prepared and ready to take care of themselves for at least 6 hrs. Volunteers will be expected to have clothing similar to what they would bring on a backpacking trip (warm layers, jacket, cap, hat and gloves, etc.)
Volunteers may be asked to carry 1-2 gallons of water in addition to any other supplies they might need. Volunteers will use their own phone and data to check in runners when they reach the summit. The race will provide sleeping bags, chairs, sleeping pads, and a small camp stove.
First shift will take up tent and gear to set up the summit aid station. The last shift will take down the tent and gear on their return. Volunteers for the first and last shift, must come with a large hiking pack and ready to carry 40-50 lbs of weight each up to the summit.
Volunteers should download the OST Remote app (Open Split Time) and be prepared to use your own device and data to check in runners at the summit.
