Breakdown
Plan on being at your station 15 minutes prior to the
start of your shift for training and plan to stay 15 minutes
after your shift ends so you can train your replacement.
Race Event Jobs: These are jobs that will be on going throughout the
entire event. These jobs will require that you be very
familiar with the rules and regulations of the 24 Hours of
Telemark.
Log-in Registrars This is one of most exciting and challenging jobs.
These volunteers will log-in racers who are starting their
lap, and will log-out those racers who are finishing their
lap. They will also be responsible for recording the times
of each rider's lap. This is a critical job and it comprises
the largest number of volunteers.
Course Marshals Volunteers will be positioned at two different
places on the racecourse, to ensure that racers are healthy
and happy, and to maintain crowd control. You will also
maintain radio contact with EMS and Base Station.
Emergency Staff These people must be at least certified EMTs, and
other trained medical personnel who can assist EMS Staff in
case of injury, or any medical crisis.
Maintenance Crew Volunteers will make sure that the course markings
are still intact, make any necessary repairs, etc. on the
course, and install flashers for night laps. They will also
help with clean up during their shift and maintain the
start/finish area.
Venue setup Setting up for the event is a tremendous
undertaking. If you are planning to arrive during the week
before the event, we could use your help setting up the
tents, wiring the base area for electricity, setting up
chairs and tables, installing signage, course marking,
etc.
Venue Breakdown When all is said and done, the glamorous task of
wrapping up from the weekend's activities must be completed.
Breaking down the venue, taking down the race course, trail
repair etc.
