Volunteers from the eight participating groups are needed to perform important jobs on race day. The job list below may change slightly as Leader positions are filled and the Leaders determine how much help they need. Due to the scheduling, some volunteers may be able to rotate from one position to another (e.g., from Registration to Course Director).

To be fair, each of the eight groups should have an equal number of volunteers unless it becomes obvious that a particular group is not able to provide enough volunteers.

When you sign up to volunteer, please indicate the group you are supporting, indicate "All" if you are volunteering to assist all groups involved. For most jobs, your organization will receive $6 for each hour that you work at the race. Police Post volunteers that replace a Lexington Police Officer will earn $50 for their group (adults only). Contact JimBo McKinley to learn more about this assignment.

Send Skip an email (raffertysk@yahoo.com) to sign up for a job. If your name doesn't appear on this page your organization will not receive payment for your work.
