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.
