We will also need land based volunteers as starters, gate judges, scorers, a video camera operator, Info Table staff (up on the Stone Arch Bridge, above the race site). Other volunteer opportunities are available.

We are working on having two-way radio communications, so spectators can hear the starter and hear times and possible a video feed to see all of each racers run through the gates.
