Logistics/Aid Stations

Traffic Volunteer High Priority

You must be 18 or older to volunteer for this task.

June 1, 2024

Details

2 key aid stations will require the assistance of dedicated volunteers to direct traffic and park vehicles. The new Onion Hole AS2 (6:30-11am) and High Knob AS7(11-5pm) are highly used by crews and need extra hands to direct cars to parking and directing traffic in/out of the aid station area.

Volunteers will be supplied with safety vests and radios.

Location

Onion Hole AS2 and High Knob AS7

Aid Station Captain

No volunteer spots remaining.

This volunteer task is full.

Details

It's a big job, but if you're experienced in the ways of ultra and have the leadership skills to direct a team of fellow volunteers in a runner-focused effort, it might be for you. You'll be responsible for everything that happens at your station, and we expect you to take charge of it, run it smoothly, and be ready to react to whatever challenges arise (all while having a rewarding time with good people in a beautiful place).

**Aid Stations will be assigned based on our need and your preferences. Prior volunteer service and seniority will play a role in how we assign crews. Please indicate in the notes sections of all prior service with this race.

Aid Station Volunteer (Crew)

Minimum met.

Details

If you want to interact directly with runners and have a real impact on their ability to succeed in the race, there's probably no better place for you then at one of our aid stations. If you're an experienced ultra runner who's been on the receiving end of a good aid station, then you know what it takes to do the job well - to anticipate runner's needs, help them solve problems, and get them back out on the trail. We need your expertise (and you might find real joy and fulfillment in giving back). Or if you're new to ultra running, this is a good place to get up-close and personal with it, while learning from other team members and the runners. It's not an easy job - the hours can be long and the weather can be challenging, but the gratitude of the runners and the camaraderie of your team will more than make up for it.

**Aid Stations will be assigned based on our need and your preferences. Prior volunteer service and seniority will play a role in how we assign crews. Please indicate in the notes sections of all prior service with this race.

Logistics Support Teams

June 1, 2024

Details

If you have a strong back and/or a big truck (or van), and don't mind getting a little tired and dirty doing critical behind-the-scenes work, this is the job for you. We'll have you loading and unloading, sorting and stacking, issuing, and hauling aid station supplies, filling water jugs, helping to setup and take down aid stations, shuttling proofers and sweepers around, hauling dropped runners in from remote aid stations, and responding to whatever contingencies arise.

**If your availability doesn't quite match up with the the time slots listed, sign up to the closet time slot that works for you and indicate your availability in the notes section when signing up.

Location

The entire race course (and beyond!)

Logistics Dispatcher

June 1, 2024

Details

If you have an organized mind that can make sense of all the logistic calls for help that come in on the radio and translate them into coherent and efficient "missions" for the Logistics Support teams who are making the trips - we need you to help bring order to the chaos.

**If your availability doesn't quite match up with the the time slots listed, sign up to the closet time slot that works for you and indicate your availability in the notes section when signing up.

Location

Race Base: Worlds End State Park

Race Control

Race Sweeper

June 1, 2024

Details

Run a section of the race route behind the final race participant to make sure they make it to the next aid station, and give us hands-on assurance that the course is clear of runners behind you. If you are an experienced trail runner with the patient and supportive demeanor to keep that last person moving, and who can deal with any runner issues that arise on the trail between aid stations (including providing basic first aid, if needed), you're the right person for this job.

GUIDE TO TIME-SLOTS:
7:00am-3:00pm = Start to AS4 (19.3 miles)
2:30-7:00pm = AS4 to Finish (12.2 miles) (50k route)
1:30-5:30pm = AS4 to AS7 (16.5 miles) (100k route)
5:00-10:00pm = AS7 to AS10 (14.2 miles)
9:00pm-1:30am = AS10 to Finish (13.9 miles)

5:30am-1:30am = This is a general slot for those who might be doubling up with a friend or just want to be a back up - add additional details to the notes section when registering.

Course Proofer

May 31, 2025

Details

Run a section of the race route on race morning ahead of the lead runners to ensure that markers are in place and the trail is clear. If you are a strong and experienced trail runner who can get out early, stay in front of the lead runners, and who is familiar enough with the course to recognize and fix any problems you encounter, you're ideal for this job. You'll carry marking ribbon and a radio, and you'll be the final link in our course preparation process - insurance against last-minute course disasters.

GUIDE TO TIME-SLOTS:
4:00-8:00am = Start to AS4 (19.3 miles)
7:00-10:00am = AS4 to AS6 to Finish (12.2 miles)
8:00-10:00am = AS6 to AS7 (8.1 miles)
9:00am-1:00pm = AS7 to AS10 (14.2 miles)
11:00am-3:30pm = AS10 to Finish (13.9 miles)

Course Cleaner

At least 5 more volunteers needed.

Details

The race isn't really over until the last flag is pulled and the last accidentally-dropped top of a gel pack is picked up from the trail. This is a great opportunity to get out on the race course on Sunday while it's still marked, and see the beauty of the area without the pressure of racing. You'll be removing all the race markers and any debris (our runners are ultra-conscientious, but not perfect), making it look like it never happened.

Available segments range in length from 5.9 to 14.2 miles (and if you want a longer run, you can sign up for multiple sections). Please indicate the sections you would like to run when signing up for this position.

Medical

Medical Support Staff

At least 4 more volunteers needed.

Details

If you're a certified medical professional - physician, physician assistant, nurse, paramedic, podiatrist, physical or occupational therapist, etc. - we need you! Ultra runners are generally a healthy bunch, but this is a tough race on difficult terrain, and things happen. Whether you work at an aid station or at race base, you'll assess medical situations, provide athletic medical support to help keep runners moving onward, and help them recover when they are done. And if there's an emergency, you'll be there to provide immediate support/triage, and communicate with EMS as needed.
