This water station is at the finish line on the summit of Mt. Baldy, at 10,064 feet. Working at this water station requires a 3-mile hike to get there and another 3 miles to return. Volunteers will be transported to the highest point on the mountain and will hike to the summit from there. When the race is over, volunteers will hike back to the transport.
The water station serves water bottles and chips to runners. The water bottes need to be set out before the runners arrive.
Volunteers must be experienced hikers, especially at high altitude. (People with asthma could have difficulty.) Volunteers need to be prepared for any weather conditions. There is no shade or shelter. It may be a sunny day or may be cold and raining.
Volunteers must be ready for the transport at 5:30 am. Volunteers likely will be at the trailhead transport by 1:15 pm.
Volunteers will receive the Run-to-the-Top race shirt and transportation (including a ski lift ride down to the parking lot, if desired).
