Most organizers know that the volunteers need to be taken care of or they won't come back. We get a lot of food donated, and we don't run out, so I'm not taking anything from the participants.<br /><br />I know some events run short of supplies, but that is one of the first thing a good organizer has to learn how to plan.<br /><br />We also give our volunteers free registration to another event during the year, or try and work them only one half day, and they can do the shorter event options after.Walthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05235362518037728416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-86020439086754006162010-08-03T15:52:07.000-06:002010-08-03T15:52:07.000-06:00Sounds like a great time and most excellent race.Sounds like a great time and most excellent race.MtUnpavedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08384740213197733697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-10640789817019766872010-08-03T11:46:09.365-06:002010-08-03T11:46:09.365-06:00After riding the Squaw Peak 50 trail run route (an...After riding the Squaw Peak 50 trail run route (and <a href="speedycog.com/2010/08/02/squaw-peak-50-itt/" rel="nofollow">bonking hard</a>, but that's another story) I'm looking back on the trail with the thought that maybe I'd like to run it one day. <br /><br />Maybe.Andrewhttp://speedycog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-18002425793290852712010-08-02T22:11:25.731-06:002010-08-02T22:11:25.731-06:00Wait a minute....you know 'just thinking about...Wait a minute....you know 'just thinking about...' a 100 mile run is the first tiny step!
