Wayland XC Festival volunteer opportunities

The Wayland XC Festival which is our fundraiser event will be held this coming Sunday October 8th. The first of four races will start at 9 AM, to be followed by races at 9:30, 10, and 11. This event benefits us in tangible ways (chocolate milk, elliptigos, watches, equipment) and it wouldn't come off smoothly without the help of volunteers from the team.  Below I've listed the different slots that are available. In parentheses is the number of people needed for the role and a time-frame for when people are needed. If you're around and available this Sunday the expectation is that you will volunteer at this meet. You can e-mail me your preference, slots will be filled first-come first-serve. Alternatively you can tell me at practice which role you'd like to fill. The number of open slots remaining will be updated as slots are filled.

• Registration - sign in athletes and distribute bib numbers (no slots left, 7:45-10 AM)

• Course Marshals - direct the athletes the correct way on the course at turns or other points of potential confusion (5 or more, 8:45-11:30 AM)

• Split timers - stand at the mile mark (2 mile mark as well for the 5k) and read out the elapsed time as the runners pass by (no slots left, 9-11 AM)

• Water stop - prepare and pass out water at the aid station which is located near the tennis courts (1 slot left, 9-11:30 AM)

• Photographer - take pictures of the races for the event website, if you have a drone with a camera this is your chance to shine (1 slot left, 9-11:30 AM)

• Sweeper - follow behind each race on a bike making sure no one gets lost (1 slot left, 9-11 AM)

• Food/water table - keep the table near the finish line stocked and clean (1 or 2 slots left, 9:30-11:30 AM)
