Gorgeous Volunteers!

​Every team is required to provide a volunteer in order to start the race. Volunteers are crucial to the safety, as well as the joy of the Gorgeous Coast Relay.​
  • Recruit a volunteer from your teams' friends/family/etc. Team Captains have until September 17 to recruit a volunteer. 
  • Sponsor a Volunteer - SOLD OUT.
Recruit a volunteer
    Race volunteers generally have at least as much fun as the runners! Teams should recruit a volunteer who: 
    1. Will be available on October 6 for approximately 3-5 hours (plus drive time) between 6:30 am-6:30pm;
    2. Is 18 years old or older; 
    3. Can get themselves to their volunteer assignment. Some assignments may be in two locations, and require driving in between; 
    4. Can stand for all or most of the volunteer time; and
    5. ​Can either come by packet pick-up to get their volunteer shirt, or have the Team Captain get it for them.

    Volunteers are stationed either at an Exchange to direct vans and runners, on course to direct runners, or at the start or finish for set-up, operations, and take-down. (Unfortunately, they are not suitable for bringing children.)

    Volunteers get a brightly colored t-shirt (which they are required to wear to allow runners to identify them). Volunteers are invited and encouraged to join us for the celebration at the finish party, and enjoy a free beer!

    Before the race, they'll be sent a link to a form where they can select their own position and sign the Volunteer Release.​
