Volunteering

Sign up to volunteer!

Let's face it, a race like this doesn't happen without volunteers. It. Just. Doesn't. We need you, badly, in order to pull this off. Let me count the ways:

  • Registration

  • Race day logistics and coordination

  • Treasurer and accounting

  • Water stops

  • Bib pickup

  • Sponsor coordination

  • Start line coordinators

  • Finish line coordinators

  • Trail marshals and sweepers

  • Road crossing marshals

  • Setup

  • Cleanup

  • Trail flagging the day before

  • Early morning race day flag checkers

  • Next day flag sweeping

  • Race sweepers and running marshals

  • Parking coordinators

  • Wave managers

  • Graphics

  • Communications

  • Insurance

  • Website maintenance/updates

  • Food management

  • Massage therapists

  • … etc. etc. etc.

Yeah, it's a lot. 

Each year we hope to get about 200 people on race day, some of whom are trail/intersection marshals right near their own homes.

It's fun. It's easy.

And since this is all done for a nonprofit, and proceeds go back into maintaining and improving the trails, or to local charities, it's rewarding.

And keep in mind, all the Paine to Pain "staff members" are volunteers. Even Greg, who coordinates the volunteers, and even me.

Please volunteer: SIGN UP NOW.
