Every team must provide two (2) Volunteers who are at least 18 years of age or older. Volunteers must be physically capable to perform the assigned duties. Volunteers are not allowed to bring dogs or children under 12. Team captains will be provided with their two (2) volunteer assignments in advance of the event.

Team captains must register their 2 volunteers when they come back to the site to enter team member information.

Teams who are having difficulty finding or unable to provide one or more of their required two (2) volunteers shall make a charitable donation to a designated charity that will provide the volunteer(s) to meet your volunteer requirement. The minimum donation for one (1) volunteer working an 8 hour shift is $120. We recommend an hourly rate of $12-15/hr for each volunteer that is working an 8 hour shift. This is an excellent opportunity for your team to make a charitable contribution!

A packet of information will be provided that includes volunteer instructions and driving directions to the exchange points and volunteer sites. All volunteers from your team will be assigned to the same exchange point as much as possible, so carpooling and working together is highly encouraged. We ask that all volunteers complete a six-eight hour shift, be prompt, and allow additional time for driving to their assignment. We will do our best in assigning our volunteers to locations closest to their home to reduce driving time for all of our volunteers.

We acknowledge the importance of our volunteers! Without a group of dedicated volunteers from the teams, this race would not be possible. We thank you in advance for your time in helping us make the 2010 Smoky MountainRelay a successful and safe event.
