VOLUNTEER

  1. PROVIDE A VOLUNTEER:  Each Team must provide (1) Volunteer OR pay the $230/$115 opt-out fee.  You can pay this fee when you register as Team Captain or you can pay it later through our website. Lack of a Exchange Captian or paying the opt-out fee disqualifies you and your team!
  2. OPT-OUT VOLUNTEER FEE: Can’t provide a volunteer, but already registered?  Pay HERE to opt-out of providing a volunteer. This helps us to find local people fill the stations.
  3. REGISTER:  Each volunteer must register with raceentry.com. Use the following link:  https://www.comevolunteer.com/events/12213-top-of-zion-national-parks-relay/volunteer.  This allows volunteers to pick their exchange station, team they represent, sign the waiver and choose their shirt size.  Please include your best email and phone number.  We will need to be in communications with our volunteers before and during the race.
  4. PICK EXCHANGE STATION:  As part of the registration process, you will need to pick your exchange station.  The sooner you sign up, the more choices available! If you have other volunteers who will be working at your exchange, make sure they also register and answer the “Extra Volunteer” question by writing who they want to work with and at which station.  Generally speaking this is where the volunteer will record runners’ times as teams make the switch to a different runner.  Each station will be located at the end leg number to which it corresponds (i.e. station #1 is at the end of leg #1).
  5. TO CHANGE YOUR STATION:  If you need to make a change please email us at ellen@topofzion.com, and in the subject for the email write “Volunteer Captain Station.”  Our staff will be happy to assist you in switching your station should this occur.
  6. Volunteer MEETING:  A Volunteer Orientation will be held at the Rim Rock Patio in Torrey Utah, at packet pick up on Thursday at 8:30 pm.  This meeting is NOT mandatory, but is a way for volunteers to ask questions, be reminded of duties, pick up their packet and be part of the fun! If you can’t make it, we will do a quick orientation for the first volunteer at each station when we drop off any left over packets along the course.
  7. VOLUNTEER INSTRUCTION PACKET 2018 (Click HERE to download/view the Volunteer Instruction pdf manual).  This will give you information about what you will need to know and do as a volunteer. We will also email it to you if you register early enough.
  8. RACE GUIDE – Please read the race guide focusing on medical information including nearest hospital near your station, gas station information, course map and leg directions, official course rules and contact information for race directors and medical support.
