Wayland XC Festival Volunteer Opportunities

The Wayland XC Festival which is our fundraiser event will be held this coming Sunday October 7th. The first of five races will start at 9 AM, to be followed by races at 9:30, 10:00, 10:30 and 11:15. This event benefits us in tangible ways (chocolate milk, elliptigo bikes, 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 (1 slot left, 7:45-10 AM)

• Course Marshals - direct the athletes the correct way on the course at turns or other points of potential confusion (at least 4 slots left, 8:45-11:45 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 (1 slot left, 8:45-11:30 AM)

• Water stop - prepare and pass out water at the aid station which is located near the tennis courts (no slots left, 8:45-11:45 AM)
