Details
Help runners and walkers stay on course, provide directions at key locations, and support participants throughout the race. Some volunteers may be assigned to water stations.
**What to Expect:**
- Outdoor work with exposure to sun, wind, cold, or other November weather conditions. Indoor shelter is limited, so plan to be outside throughout your shift.
- Standing for extended periods while watching for approaching participants.
- Wearing a **safety vest provided by 3W Races** and giving clear, verbal directions to runners and walkers.
- Walking or biking to your assigned location. **Volunteer vehicles are not permitted on the course.**
- Staying attentive to participants and following instructions from the race director.
**Water Station Assignments:** These are more physically active! Volunteers fill water jugs and cups, enthusiastically call out "Water!" to approaching runners, distribute water, and clean up discarded cups. This includes bending, collecting cups from the ground, and filling trash bags.
**After Your Course Assignment:** Once released from your course position, return to the expo area to help with event cleanup and loading equipment and supplies onto the truck. This involves additional lifting, bending, carrying, and moving equipment.
Dress in layers for the weather and wear comfortable, supportive shoes. **Plan to stay and help with cleanup through the end of your scheduled shift.**
