If you are the parent of an athlete who is going to race SG on Hangman's at Big Sky next weekend, please consider volunteering to help with the race. It's a speed event, so access to the race course is particularly restrictive. Working the race ensure you the best seats in the house.
To volunteer, please complete and submit the online form here. We've been getting a great response from volunteers from across the Northern Division, but still have openings:
- Assistant Chief Gate Judge (help number gates, act as substitute gate judge, deliver lunches to course workers, etc.)
- Gate Judges (check out this post and video)
- Assistant Starter/Wrangler (help make sure that racers are lined up and ready to race)
- Scoreboard Record (retrieve unofficial times from the timing shack)
- Scoreboard Poster (post retrieved unofficial times to the scoreboard, which is usually located next to the Ramcharger Race Shack in the base area)
- Bib Collector (make sure that all bibs are retrived from athletes at the end of racing each day)
- Timing Assistants (help set up and tear down timing equipment inside the timing shack, operate a Tag Heuer CP520 electronic timer, manually record times, and generally help the TC)
- Race Administration Assistants (help the RA in a variety of ways first thing in the morning and immediately after the end of racing each day)
Excluding the course crew, there are roughly 30 different roles to play each day of racing. We need your help! If you don't have much experience, don't worry. In many ways, a Junior SG race is easier than a YSL race. The most recent update to the volunteer schedule may be viewed here.
