Dipsea Finish Area - Finish Area Captains
[Saturday and Race Day]

Summary

The Finish Area Team Captain(s) is responsible for the set-up and break-down of three general areas. The areas include Spectator Barricades and Finish Chute, Stage and Picnic, and Post Finish Area (roped-off area for funneling of runners for race-chip removal, medals, t-shirts, etc.). Team Captains will work with assigned volunteers to gather equipment and set-up the areas and to break-down and gather equipment from the designated areas and take to the equipment trucks and/or vans for return. This work takes place on the Saturday before the race and on Race Day, after the race has completed. Work may take most of the day to set up and most of the afternoon to break-down and pack.
