    Default Taming of the Slough 2018 - Call for Volunteers

    The 2018 Taming of the Slough is just a few weeks away and we're looking for volunteers to course marshal and setup/teardown the MTB leg of the race on Sylvan Island.

    Taming of the Slough - Saturday September 15th
    • Course Setup (7:00-8:00am) Will need a few people to tape the course and set up stakes/cones along entrance.
    • Course Marshals (8:00-11:00am) around 10 people [bring bug spray, water, and a chair]. Meet at the tent right after crossing the bridge for location assignment.
    • Course Teardown (11:00-11:30am) Need a few people to stick around to pull down tape, clean up trash, take down popups, cones, etc.

    Post Up if you can help. Volunteers also need to sign up as a River Action volunteer in order to reserve their free T-shirt (select the "bike course marshal" checkbox). Volunteers get free pizza and beer, served at Bass Street Landing, after the event!

    Thanks everyone! If you haven't already, make sure to sign up over at River Action's Volunteer Page if you want a t-shirt and to help them estimate food/beer quantities for the after party. They're putting in the shirt order in a few days so do it soon.

    A few people will be out taping the course today at 4:30 if you want to help. This will significantly reduce setup time Sat. morning so setup volunteers won't need to show up until 7:30.
