Volunteer

Volunteers are essential to making the event run smoothly! We need help with body marking, directing participants along the route, assisting in the bike corral, or supervising indoors. If you’re able to volunteer, please sign up during the registration process. We recommend that a parent or adult is available to help athletes transition between events when needed, and if you plan to volunteer, please ensure another adult is present at the event.
