What do we do at a water station?
You will be filling up water cups, gatorade in cups throughout the race, handing these out to runners, distributing gels and picking up the cups/trash around the station throughout the race.
How do we set up and serve at our water station?
- You will need to mix the gatorade powder into a 5 gallon container. You will have powder and a stir stick. The Gatorade should be diluted to about ½ of what is suggested on the can! Otherwise it is too sweet! Note; if the lid is too tight of the 5 gallon container the faucet will not work properly.
- You will have a plastic bin that has some water station supplies in it. Look thru that when you arrive so you know what is in there.
- Follow instructions on the easy Quick Guide for set-up and serving.
- There will be safety vests in your water station buckets that you can put on while volunteering if you aren’t in a costume/festive/fun garb.
In case of Emergency - Dial 911, then call/text me to update. In an instance of a runner having a non-emergency injury or wanting to drop out of the race, please call or text me (828) 450-7514, so we can arrange pick-up.
- If you have an AED, please bring it with you to your water station.
It is very important to arrive early to get your cups filled and ready.
- Have a portable speaker? Bring some Music! If you have a portable speaker and want to have music, go for it! The more lively the better.
- What should I bring? Bring layers, check the weather and be prepared, bring a snack, water bottle, sunscreen, bug spray and a COWBELL if you have one!
- The race is RAIN OR SHINE!
Wrapping up and packing up: Please pick up trash - cups and gel and granola bar wrappers within one mile radius of your water station. Stack leftover items together and neatly for pick-up. We will have a truck that will come pick up your stack of leftover items and your supplies when you are finished. Please contact Daphne at (828) 450-7514 when you are about 10-15 minutes away from being ready to have your items picked up so that we can send the truck your way. We don’t want to leave the supplies unattended.

Woodfin and N. Market Street intersection
Traffic support + Runner Direcitonal Support
You can walk/jog to this post from Pack Square Park - The runners are coming down Woodfin street and taking a left onto N. Market Street. They 'should be' on the sidewalk or that left side of the road on Woodfin street... when you see them at your intersection. If they aren't that means that some refinement needs done at the intersection before yours at Woodfin/Chestnut where a volunteer officer that helps us in Hendersonville will be standing. He is supposed to be helping hold traffic so that the runners can cross Woodfin and get over to the sidewalk side of the street so that they aren't trying to make that turn at your Woodfin and N. Market intersection.
Once this intersection slows down and there seems to be a good rhythm of folks on the correct side of the street to make the turn, you can leave this post.

What do we do at a water station?
You will be filling up water cups, gatorade in cups throughout the race, handing these out to runners, distributing gels and picking up the cups/trash around the station throughout the race.
How do we set up and serve at our water station?
- You will need to mix the gatorade powder into a 5 gallon container. You will have powder and a stir stick. The Gatorade should be diluted to about ½ of what is suggested on the can! Otherwise it is too sweet! Note; if the lid is too tight of the 5 gallon container the faucet will not work properly.
- You will have a plastic bin that has some water station supplies in it. Look thru that when you arrive so you know what is in there.
- Follow instructions on the easy Quick Guide for set-up and serving.
- There will be safety vests in your water station buckets that you can put on while volunteering if you aren’t in a costume/festive/fun garb.
In case of Emergency - Dial 911, then call/text me to update. In an instance of a runner having a non-emergency injury or wanting to drop out of the race, please call or text me (828) 450-7514, so we can arrange pick-up.
- If you have an AED, please bring it with you to your water station.
It is very important to arrive early to get your cups filled and ready.
- Have a portable speaker? Bring some Music! If you have a portable speaker and want to have music, go for it! The more lively the better.
- What should I bring? Bring layers, check the weather and be prepared, bring a snack, water bottle, sunscreen, bug spray and a COWBELL if you have one!
- The race is RAIN OR SHINE!
Wrapping up and packing up: Please pick up trash - cups and gel and granola bar wrappers within one mile radius of your water station. Stack leftover items together and neatly for pick-up. We will have a truck that will come pick up your stack of leftover items and your supplies when you are finished. Please contact Daphne at (828) 450-7514 when you are about 10-15 minutes away from being ready to have your items picked up so that we can send the truck your way.
