Course marshals are stationed at designated road crossings along the course. Their primary responsibility is to help ensure the safety of participants by monitoring the crossing and watching for unexpected interactions between runners, cyclists, and vehicles.

Duties include:

* Monitor the road crossing throughout the event.
* Watch for approaching vehicles, cyclists, pedestrians, or other potential hazards.
* Alert participants to vehicles or other hazards when necessary.
* Help participants safely navigate the crossing without unnecessarily stopping traffic.
* Communicate with race staff if a safety concern or unusual situation arises.
* Remain at the assigned crossing until released by race staff.

No previous trail-race experience required. If you can point, yell encouragement, and stay reasonably calm around a participant who has forgotten how to make decisions, you’re qualified

Details

You are the trail’s pit crew, snack bar, water department, and occasional therapist.

Aid station workers keep runners moving when the miles start getting long. You’ll greet participants, refill bottles, hand out food and drinks, keep the station stocked and organized, and help participants figure out what they need next.

Your job is to:

* Keep food, water, and electrolytes flowing.
* Ask participants what they need and help them get it quickly.
* Keep the aid station clean, stocked, and ready for the next wave.
* Encourage participants when they need a little extra push.
* Watch for who may be struggling or need additional assistance.
* Communicate with the race director about any concerns.
* Most importantly, bring some energy. A friendly face at an aid station can make a surprisingly big difference.

No previous trail-race experience required. If you can fill a cup, yell encouragement, and stay reasonably calm around a participant who has forgotten how to make decisions, you’re qualified.
