Water Stop High Priority

December 2, 2023

Details

Some of the responsibilities include, but not limited to, setting up water stop on the course. Hand out water to ALL participants as they pass, must keep water station up/open until the last participant passes the water stop. Most of the events have a “Sweeper” following the last participant. Therefore, to ensure all participants have the opportunity to receive adequate hydration, do not break down the water stop until the “Sweeper,” or Race Official, has confirmed it is okay to break down the water stop down. Once okay to break the water stop down, the clean-up and break down of the stop may begin. All cups in the area should to be picked up, including cups any that are in and down the street, etc. the Water Stop should look like it did when the volunteers arrived.
