The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly of Mud Run Volunteering
First, while you are getting a discount or free race out of it, if you are planning on volunteering the first half of the day and running the second, you had best be in good shape. A half day of volunteering and a half day of running will be tough on all but the elite athletes. It is often the equivalent of running two or three laps. The volunteers are required to be there way before the first wave and are expected to often be there well past the last wave. If you are volunteering for a full day, expect a 12 – 15 hour work day, with little to no breaks in the work.
