Pre-Race Volunteers

Water Haul High Priority

At least 37 more volunteers needed.

Details

This is a huge operation: stalking water for the Ross, Bridger, Baldy, and 1/2Way Aid Stations, all by human motive force! We depend on and appreciate all volunteers. Hauling water is rewarding and puts you on the HIGHEST priority category for getting into the run the FOLLOWING year.

These Water Hauls will take place in the early mornings of the 3rd Saturday of June (possibly the 4th Saturday of June as well) and the 2nd Saturday of July. You MUST to sign up before then for details (eg, exact time and location).

The water comes in 2.5 gallon jugs (20lbs/jug). So a pack is needed for the Baldy Haul and the 1/2 Way Haul, both of which require following a steep technical strail for several miles. Prefer each hauler to be over 16 years old.
