It was pretty cool, we all rotated positions pretty frequently (except the guy on hydration, he owned that) which kept things fresh.
Good time, good people, very fun to be able to support the runners and make sure they’re taken care of.
Maybe try to get TUMS as a sponsor next year, had quite a few runners request these. Couple people asked for something mint (possibly to help wakefulness or clear sinuses, idk, they were urgent but didn’t explain).
Good time! Met some cool people. Really interesting to see the varying degrees of exhaustion experienced by the runners after 87 miles and between 15 and 27 hours of running! Not my cup of tea, I like to bike. One of the volunteers had a good playlist setup and started off with a bluetooth speaker and then moved her car over and cranked it thought her speaker system. This added a bit to the atmosphere and helped keep our energy up. That's one suggestion is having a speaker system set up if that's possible. The heater was a lifesaver for some of the runners, and a nice addition for the volunteers. Would have been VERY cold without it.
It was a fun time. We all worked together well as a group. The heater was a lifesaver (for volunteers and runners!). One of our volunteers acted as our DJ, had a bluetooth speaker at first, then pulled her car up and cranked it through her speakers. This was a nice touch. Maybe providing a speaker system would enhance the experience, we all seemed to get a lot out of having the music (a 14 hour overnight is a tough shift!).
