Finish Line:  Continue to keep the lanes clear that they can see their time on the other side of the timing tent for your viewing.  Keep teams moving from finish line area through finish line chute – photography, first aid, food, water, etc. Avoid bottleneck at the finish line.

T‐Shirt Tent:  One member of each team will pick up shirts for entire team. There will be a check in tent in front of the T‐ shirt tent where they will get what they pre‐registered for and then proceed to one of the eight lanes to get shirts. Odd numbers on one side of tent and even numbers on opposite side. At this time they MUST get shirt sizes they registered for and if they need to switch out direct them to the T‐Shirt exchange tent and we will try and accommodate them there.  Each team member will also receive a race bag to be picked up when leaving the t‐shirt area.

Showers/Changing Tents:  Your job is keeping these areas moving smoothly and clean.. Changing Tents are also provided separately for men and women and are clearly marked. Please check inside the tents often for discarded clothes and trash.

Mud Pit:  Your job is to patrol the Mud Pit area for trash and recyclables. Please take full receptacles to the garbage truck that will be located near the parking area. A few people will work with the gate entrance staff and ID check staff to assist.

Sound Helper:  Work with the Sound Manager directly to ensure sound runs smoothly and backstage at the Mud Pit area.

Pollywog:  Registration: Check‐in pre‐registered participants and give them their shirts. Register kids for $10 each and give them shirts as requested if they are available. Shirts are only for kids that register and are not for sale. Pre‐registered participants are the only ones guaranteed to get their requested shirts. At the beginning of the day, a number of shirts should be pulled for those who have already registered and kept separate.

VIP Area:  Make sure everyone in this area has a RED VIP wristband on or a Volunteer shirt. Please keep the area clean and restock drinks and snacks as needed. SMILE and BE HAPPY! If someone tries to gain access without a wristband, please be polite, but firm and refer them to the volunteer captain or a member of the event staff.  Assist vendor with keeping area clean including restocking toilet paper, shampoo, etc. YOU WILL NOT BE ASKED/REQUIRED to handle any waste!

Vendor Area:  Designated to assist vendors as needed to make sure they are all good!
