Veterinarian Assistants & Clerical Assistants
Vet Technician for pre-race testing (February to early March)
Vet Tech on Trail. Limited positions, 6-8 maximum. This position includes general drop dog care as well as vet tech duties as needed.
Test Assistants (February to early March). Limited positions. This position is clerical, doing the paper work while the technicians work.

Trail Positions
Trail positions are limited and most often held by those who have previously volunteered. These positions require hard work and long hours (don’t expect a good night’s sleep while you’re on the trail-it won’t happen) and you should not volunteer for a trail position if you’re tied to a particular time frame. Most trail positions are taken by people who actually live on the trail. The best way to be considered for a trail position is to volunteer in other areas for a couple of years. If you have experience and would like to be considered this year, check "Trail Positions" AND check the length of time you can commit to the race:
Trail Position
I can be there for 1 week.
I can be there for 10 days.
I can be there for 2 weeks.
I can be there for 3 weeks.
I can be there as long as needed.
