If you are interested in participating in the organization & planning for next year’s race, or are one of those folks with an idea for how to do things better, please step up & volunteer for a position on the 2019 race committee. Many on the race committee have been doing these jobs for awhile. Some will likely continue. But all of them would appreciate your help.
And better yet, with the races coming up, this is your opportunity to shadow a race committee member, or get some mentoring – whatever it takes to help you feel comfortable with the job next year. We also have lots of historical information about how to put a race together, and are working on consolidating that info into a “Race Director’s Handbook”. So you will get plenty of help!
Race Committee jobs (many currently shared, but don’t need to be) have both pre-race & race weekend elements. There are also race weekend jobs we fill with volunteers.
Email racedirector@missouriwhitewater.org for more information, or to get started.
