    Default 2019 Taming of the Slough - Call for Volunteers

    The 2019 Taming of the Slough is just a two 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 21st
    • 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!

    Volunteer List:
    Setup - 9/21 @ 7:00-8:00 am

    2. Drew H.
