VOLUNTEER REGISTRATION

Proudly hosted by

Join the Team Behind the Yukon Ski Marathon!

Help us make the Yukon Ski Marathon an unforgettable event! We’re looking for enthusiastic volunteers to join our team. Here’s what’s in it for you:

• Stay Warm in Style: All volunteers will receive a Yukon Built toque to wear proudly.
• Fuel Up: Enjoy a free meal and drink at the post-race gathering.
• Win Big: Be entered into a draw to win a $250 Air North travel gift card!

Volunteering is a great way to connect with the community, support this iconic event, and have a lot of fun while you’re at it!

We have a number of volunteering requirements in order to run a safe and fair event. Please note the following:

• Prior experience is not required , however, if you have special skills, please let us know (prior timing experience, controlling experience, first aid, etc).
• Come dressed to be outside -- most volunteer opportunities are outside – the event will run unless it is colder than -25C!
• Volunteering shifts will take place between 1 pm and 5 pm on Friday March 7 and between 9 am and 7 pm on Saturday March 8 and will vary depending on your specific role. There is some flexibility and firm times will be confirmed by Thursday, March 6, 2025.

Brief overview of major duties:

• Race Office/Bib/Chip Management - You will work with the Race Secretary to hand out bibs to participants Saturday morning at the WNC waxroom; distribute timing chips to participants prior to loading buses; collect timing chips at the finish line; and post hardcopy results in the finishers area.
• Aid Station Volunteers – You will be stationed at one of the three Aid Stations on the race course to hand out food and drinks, collect clothing and check on participants ( Racer Support ); record bib numbers to ensure participants take the correct course ( Controller ); or provide access and control of the public when intersecting with the race course and participants ( Marshall ). NOTE: All gear/equipment will be transported to Aid Stations by snowmobile.
• Timing - You will provide support to ensure accurate results for the event. Some timing volunteers will set up and use technology to record start/split/finish information ( Set-up/Data Monitor volunteers ). Others will do non-technical roles at the start and finish.
• Finishing Festival – You will help with set-up for the post-race gathering in the Stadium (set up tables, put out food and drinks, test sound system, hand out drink tickets, organize prizes) and help clean-up afterwards.
