Volunteer
Without volunteers our event would not be possible. Volunteers are on course to help ensure all of our young athletes (6-17) stay safe, encourage them as they try something new, and work together through a challenging course. You’ll leave inspired by these athletes and with some cool swag to boot.
There are a variety of positions available to volunteer for, including, obstacle help, course marshals, transition areas, and start/finish help.
