Water Station (5k)
Location: Water Station | Water Station - near Sullivans Park on Martin Circle
Mile: 1
GPS Coordinate to Post: https://maps.app.goo.gl/23egX1TwRKyXiQmW7
Additional Info: PLEASE BRING A BLUETOOTH SPEAKER AND PLAY UPBEAT AND FUN MUSIC!!!
What do we do at a water station?
You will be filling up water cups, gatorade and/or Untapped Mapleaid 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. Any Untapped MapleIaid gets mixed (one Mapleaid liquid into 1 - 5 gallon container and mix) You will have powder, liquid mapleaid 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.
Lead the 5k on the bike - the race starts at 10am -- please arrive by 9:40am.
Sweep the 5k when finished with leading...
