Volunteers
Want
to learn more about adventure racing - but not ready to do
a race?
Want to watch and support friends or family who are racing?
Want to go camping for the weekend?
The sport of adventure racing is growing rapidly, with many
different races across the country, but there is one thing
that every race has in common - volunteers! The sport of adventure
racing could not function without volunteers. By volunteering
with Adventure Racing Canada you will become an integral part
of the organization and the race.
Volunteering
gives you a taste of what the sport is all about and/or a
chance to see how how teams 'do it'.
A few things to remember; Adventure Racing Canada wants you
to have a safe, enjoyable time while you are volunteering.
Volunteers will always be lead to their respective locations
be they Check Points, Transition areas, or marshalling locations;
and their task will be fully explained, to ensure that there
is no confusion and all questions are answered.
We
will supply you with:
-
A camp site, the night before the race, wherever possible
(some locations do not have camping)
-
Lunch and snacks for the day
-
Drinks - water and juice
-
Hat - either baseball or toque depending upon the season
-
Souvenir T-shirt
-
Dinner (delivered to the Check Point if you are late or
camping out)
- $25
credit toward your the entry fee in your first or next adventure
race
We have a few ideas to help make your day/weekend more memorable
and enjoyable. If possible, we encourage volunteers to drive
their personal vehicle to the Check Point or location they
are manning or as close it as one can, this allows you, the
volunteer, the opportunity to be warm/dry/cool depending upon
the weather. We also suggest you bring a number of other items,
- A book or something to read (it could be a while between
teams); A camp chair (we have a few but some times not enough);
Extra water - Sunscreen and bug repellent (Depending upon
the season); Extra clothes, potential water proof ; A knap
sac to carry all your belongings; And a friend is always a
good idea, as Check Point's always have a minimum of 2 people.
