Volunteer Choices

Packet Pickup

Be a part of the anticipation and excitement before the big race! Athletes pick-up event information, race bib numbers and merchandise at Packet Pick-up. Help ready this large event for participants by passing out t-shirts and race information, assisting in greeting people, or providing directional assistance throughout the exhibit hall. Packet Pick-up takes place in Alliant Energy Center, so you'll be indoors and also will have access to free parking.

Course RockStar - Saturday, 8/17

Are you enthusiastic and can communicate well with others? Then be a Course RockStar! Course RockStars play a vital role supporting the participants and directing them on the route. We'll even provide you with a "cheer sign" at your station. Sign up individually or with a buddy! You will be assigned a specific spot on the course. It will be 2- 4 hour commitment depending on where you are on the course.
