Your station guide.
Set up the station
-
Set up a one-sided roadside station.
Place every table, cooler and supply together along the side of Skyline Drive, completely out of the roadway. This station serves runners from one side only. Keep the full running lane open and leave room for race vehicles and local access.
-
Put on gloves.
Wear gloves before handling cups, pitchers, drink mix or ice. Gloves and other supplies are in the station boxes.
-
Keep the coolers full.
Keep the Water Monster, coolers and all supplies off the roadway. Two people should carry each cooler to the Water Monster, refill it from the large spigot, and return it to the table. Use pitchers to fill rows of cups and stack filled rows with cup boards. Do not fill cups one at a time from the small spigots. Follow the Gatorade bottle directions and taste the mix before serving. Small coolers hold 5 gallons; large coolers hold 10. Call Trey or Becky if you need help or supplies.
Serve the runners
Water & Gatorade
Serve runners from the station side of Skyline Drive only. Call “Water!” or “Gatorade!” Hold each cup out by pinching the rim lightly, then move your hand with the runner as they take it. Stay beside the tables and do not step into or narrow the running lane.
Refill & tidy
Divide the team between filling cups, serving runners and collecting trash. Keep the tables stocked and contact Becky or Trey before supplies run low.
Stay safe.
Keep volunteers, vehicles and all equipment off the Skyline Drive roadway. Do not block or narrow the runner lane, and watch for race vehicles and local access. Cross the course only when it is clear. For medical help, get the runner’s name and bib number. For a life-threatening emergency, call 911.
Clean up & check out
Do not tear down until Becky, Trey or another staff member confirms that the final runner has passed. Empty the coolers, collect all trash, tie and stack the bags, and return every item to the station pallet. Staff will wrap and load the equipment. Ask for volunteer-hours verification before leaving, then visit the post-race area in Rainbow Park if you would like.
