Specific info for your duties will be given accordingly. Volunteers with later shifts will be instructed on when to arrive. All volunteers will receive a race map/itinerary on race morning.

From Springfield: The race will be headquartered at outfitter, Gasconade Hills, which is located one mile south of I-44 at the Richland exit # 145, near Lebanon, Missouri.

Camping: Primitive on-site camping is free.

Free lunch: Yea!! Yummy, hearty food will be served from about Noon until the end of the race. Volunteers eat for free. Plan to bring your own snacks and water bottle for throughout the day, as you may get hungry while out on the course.
