Volunteers are the lifeblood of DEKA! Without them, we would not be able to put on these amazing events. That’s why we’re always looking for new volunteers to collaborate with us.
We have many shifts that will allow you to volunteer, meaning you can volunteer AND compete on the same weekend! To see the available shifts, download the volunteer registration platform, DOnation Volunteering, HERE.
What are the benefits of volunteering?
Check the following document HERE where you will have all the information needed for the registration and benefits of being a volunteer.
What will be my job as a DEKA volunteer?
- Registration: You’ll be helping out our staff by greeting, registering, and answering questions of participants and spectators. You’ll probably help ease the nerves of more then one participant too!
- Festival: You’ll help our festival staff in the start and finish lines, at the bag-check, in the merchandising tent, and other important festival areas. You’ll surely be giving a bunch of high-fives 🙌🏻
- Marshalls: Your job will be to guarantee that all Age Group and Elite competitors carry out the exercises of each of the 10 zones properly and to apply the corresponding penalties if it were the case, following the guidelines of our official DEKA rulebook. You’ll be preserving the integrity of current and future events!
During the event:
- Be vocal, stay positive and encourage the competitor.
- Know the rules of the zone you're stationed at as well as the flow of the race.
- Ask questions! If you are unsure of something, ask your zone leader.
Don’t:
- Physically assist any competitors.
- Assume the racers know what to do (including the Elites).
- Play or demonstrate on the zones at any time
