Table of Contents
Where do I report for duty?Your volunteer assignment letter should have included a reporting time and location. In most cases, it will be 6pm Saturday at the cafeteria of the Executive Office Building (EOB). If you're still not sure, contact your team captain. Back to Top
Where do I park?Your best bet for parking is either in the Middle Lane lot or in the garage on Route 28 (right across the street from the EOB cafeteria. See the parking map for details. Back to Top
How do I find my team captain ?In almost all cases, you will meet your team captain at the volunteer meal and training session at 6 pm on Saturday. In other cases, your team captain should have told you where you should report. If you have a reporting location other than the volunteer dinner, your team captain will meet you at that alternate location. If you have any questions, please contact your team captain. Back to Top
Why doesn't my assignment letter tell me what I am supposed to do ?You will receive your specific job assignment -- and required training -- from your team captain. This most likely will be at the volunteer dinner and training session. Back to Top
What IS the volunteer dinner and training session ?Almost all Twilighter volunteers will meet at 6pm at the EOB cafeteria. It's our way of getting everyone together, make sure everyone gets something to eat, and providing necessary equipment and training for your job. It is very important that you arrive at the cafeteria well before the 6pm reporting time, since we must get everyone checked in. Back to Top
Who is my team captain ?You should receive your Volunteer Assignment Sheet email about one week before the race. It will have your team captain's name, phone, and email address. Alternatively, you should be able to find your team captain at the Volunteer Assignments page. When you receive your assignment please contact your team captain (email or phone) to confirm your job assignment. This is very important. Back to Top
What do I wear ?Every volunteer will receive a unique volunteer t-shirt. Please wear this t-shirt at your job on Saturday. That way, we can identify ourselves among all the runners and crowd. Back to Top
When am I released from my job?It is very important that you remain at your post until your team chief or his/her designate has told you that you are released. Remember also, that you may have a second job. If you do, please go directly to that job. (You should have been given the reporting time and location for each of your jobs.) When you are finally released, please be sure that any equipment you were issued is returned. If you are released and are willing to take another assignment, please go to announcer's stand at the finish line and check in with the volunteer coordinator, who will see if you are needed. Back to Top
May I go to the food and beer lines ?Yes, but only after you have been officially released from your job. We ask that volunteers observe the "family hold back" etiquette in deference to hungry, thirsty, sweaty runners; remember, you've already eaten. Back to Top
