We love our volunteers!
This year we are excited to announce some very cool prizes for our volunteers made possible by our Volunteer Sponsor, Sportsman & Ski Haus (formerly Tri-State Outfitters). All volunteers are invited to sign-up for the free drawing with prizes to be given away at our awards ceremony on race day. You need not be present to win, but you must fill out a ticket and drop it in the entry box by the bandshell so we can contact you if you win!
This year’s prizes are:
- Paddleboard – $399+ value
- 3 Gift Certificates for $120 each
- 2 Gift Certificates for $70 each
This event depends on more than 75 volunteers to ensure a successful, safe and exciting experience for participants. We invite you to come and share the fun… the inspiration… and the hope for every athlete! If you are not familiar with the volunteer opportunities available, I encourage you to read through the different position descriptions below.
Our volunteer sign-up process is facilitated by raceroster.com. There, you’ll be asked to create an account and select the positions you want to volunteer for, much in the same way you would purchase a product. Of course, you will not actually be purchasing anything; it’s just the easiest way for us to collect your information. Thanks for being a volunteer!
