Lake to Bay Volunteer Page

Thank you for volunteering your time for the Lake to Bay event! Volunteers are essential to ensuring a safe and fun event can be had by all! Lake to Bay begins at 5:10am with the first wave of Ultramarathon runners, and participants should be finished around 7pm. Most volunteer positions are in 3-4 hour segments, starting as early as 5:30am, and concluding by 8pm. Volunteers may register for more than one volunteer position, as long as they can make it to their second volunteer spot in time.

Review the four types of volunteer options (Exchange Monitor, Course Monitor, Bike Monitor, Course Sweeper) below.

  • Exchange Monitors: Oversee incoming and outgoing runners, ensuring safety, and signing off teams as they pass through. Supplies provided: Exchange Board, Exchange Monitor team Check-Off document, Course Packet (map included) and First Aid kid.

  • Exchange 3 includes a gift for incoming runners. The Exchange Monitor at this exchange is encouraged to pick-up the contents (gifts) at packet pick-up (Saturday, June 21, between 10am-1pm).

  • Exchange 14 includes part one of two gifts for incoming runners. The Exchange Monitor at this exchange is encouraged to pick-up the contents (gifts) at packet pick-up (Saturday, June 21, between 10am-1pm).

  • Course Monitors: Ensure runners continue along the course to the next exchange, safely crossing intersections, and abiding by pedestrian traffic laws. On the shared Course Monitor Positions sheet, select an available Position Number (1-47), then complete the form below and indicate your desired position.
  • Bike Course Monitors: To help oversee the safety of the runners, bicyclists are asked to ride along (behind or in front of) runners when necessary.
  • Course Sweeper: Follow the last place teams, picking up event signage and course markings.
