Direct and help racers as needed, various locations along race course. Knowledge of the Palos trail system and mountain biking is strongly recommended. Course marshalls will need to transport themselves to their assigned locations which could be several miles from volunteer check-in and not accessible by car. As such, course marshalls are advised to bring their bikes and/or hiking shoes so that assigned locations can be easily accessed. Course marshalls will be provided with walkie talkies but are also asked to bring their cellular phones as backup in case contact with the race organizers is required. Course marshalls should plan on checking in with Course Marshal Coordinator a minimum of 30 minutes prior to the start of their shift at the stone Pavilion at Pulaski Woods. Course Marshals should bring water, snacks and bug spray with them on their shift.

This position will be responsible for sweeping a portion of the race course prior at the end of each race and confirming that all racers are safely through this portion of the course. Course sweepers will also notify course marshals that the final riders are through. Course sweepers should be very familiar with the Palos trail system (and not just the race course), bring their own bike and be able to safely and quickly ride their assigned portion of the course. Once their sweep ride is complete, the course sweepers should be able to find their way back to Pulaski Woods via trails that are not part of the race course. Please check in with the Course Marshal Captain (at registration) 30 minutes before the start of your shift to receive your assignment.
Times included below are approximate. The Course Marshal Coordinator will be in touch with each course sweeper approximately 7-10 days prior to race date with additional details and timelines.
