Volunteer Program Requirements
Like many youth sport programs, Wachusett Mountain Race Team (WMRT) is a volunteer, parent run organization. It does not exist without the strong support of our volunteers. WMRT relies on club members to help run our events, from fencing installation to race day officials, gate keepers, course maintenance, registration crews, and other critical activities.
We are fortunate to have a community of volunteers that is made up of parents of existing racers, parents of alumni, and people that have a love of the sport and lifestyle. We believe introducing this formal program will make volunteering and the management and coordination of volunteerism easier for all involved.

How to Get Credit for Hours
- Sign-up via our online program which will be made available and announced well in advance of the event. Look for a club e-mail.
- You must report for your shift on time and complete the entire shift. Shifts may be shared by adult members of the same family - please notify the appropriate Area Supervisor (i.e. Head Gatekeeper, Chief of Course, etc.).
- A Race Area Supervisor will be assigned to each job type. You are required to report to that Race Area Supervisor at the beginning and end of your shift so the appropriate paperwork can be completed.
- Race workers must sign-in on the Worker Sign-in Sheet.
- If you sign up for a job and are unable to work it is your responsibility to find a replacement.
If you have any questions regarding the sign-up process or the status of your hours, please contact.
