Thank you in advance for volunteering!

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

• Prior experience is not required, however, if you have special skills please let us know (prior timing experience, etc)
• Come dressed to be outside -- the majority of volunteer opportunities are outside -- races will run unless it is colder than -20!
• Most volunteering (except stadium set up/take down) is required between 11am - 3pm.

Brief overview of major duties for event:

• Competition Marshals/Controllers: You will be stationed out on the course to either record bib numbers/ ensure athletes take the course (controller) or provide access and control of the public when intersecting with the race course and racers (marshal)
• Race office / Bib Management: You will work with the Competition Secretary to hand out bibs in advance of races at the Race Office for each athlete; collect them at the finish line
• Timing: support to ensure accurate results; using technology to record start/lap/finish information.
• Stadium Set-up/ Take Down: able to lift/move around gear in the stadium. This is an early morning role. At the end of each day, the stadium needs to be taken down.
• Course Set-up/ Management/ Take Down: You will work with the Chief of Course to set up the race course markers (v boards, signs) on each event day and manage the opening of closing of courses to reflect the daily event schedule, and at the end of the race day, take down the course markers.

Volunteers will be provided with snacks, beverages, and a post-race meal/drink ticket.
