Volunteers

NOTE - New this year we now have registration slots for pre-and post-event volunteering in addition to the main event volunteer slots. Please ONLY select one "EVENT" category below. If you are registering more than one volunteer, you must repeat the process and enter the name of each volunteer separately in the "Your Details" field on the next page (you cannot register multiple volunteers at once).  If you are registering for a pre- or post-event slot and also registering to volunteer during the event, you may do that all at once. 

If you are registering as a wet volunteer, we'd love you to arrive early. We often have kids ready to ride early and the waiting line forms early.
