  1. We are interested in volunteering for the 2015 Tioga Pass Run. We volunteered approximately 3 years ago, and enjoyed the event. We helped at the 1st comfort station, and would be happy to do this again. Please let me know when you are working on the volunteer list, and what type of help we can give. Thank you

  2. Thank you for offering to volunteer; yes, we need you. These events can not happen without volunteers and the racers really appreciate you too.

    • You can walk or run! Walkers start at 7:00am and runners start at 8:00am. We hope you can join us!
