Will Run for Beer

VOLUNTEER POSITION - START LINE
As a volunteer at the start line you will be assisting our staff with starting the race. The volunteers at this area will be assigned to a corral helping to organize race participants. Each race participant is assigned a corral with their assignment located on their bib. Once the corrals open you will be directing participants into their corral, or helping to keep corrals separate and organized. When the race starts the first corrals will start – other corrals will move closer to the start line. Additional corrals will be released every 2-3 minutes until all corrals have started the race.

Please do not leave your corral position as they are being released. The Start Line Manager dismiss you once you are no longer needed at that Start Line and direct you back to the Volunteer Check-In Tent for your next assignment. 

*Volunteers should be ready to jump in wherever needed!  We thank you in advance for being flexible as we make sure all of our stations are fully covered.
