Thank you for havin' a hankering to join the Dirt Crew in Devil's Lake State Park!

How can YOU be a part of the Dirt?

Just a couple of boring but important things and then you can start browsing!

  • Dirt Crew Critter must be 18 or older unless permission has been given by the Race Director.
  • Please plan on arriving 30 minutes before your shift start time, unless otherwise instructed by email! thanks!
  • We will do our best to get you heading out at the stated time for the end of your shift...but sometimes you may have to stay a few minutes late. Thanks for your consideration!

Set Up: Get the dirt quarters set up, prepare the registration area, organize the tents, get aid stations ready, build the finish line...you get the idea!

Registration: Distribute bibs, answer questions, smile tons, have fun & meet lots of nice people.

Finish Line: Keep everything (medals, awards, water, food) organized & flowing at the finish line.

  • Awards: Organize the awards area. Then hand out the awards! Assist at the finish line if needed.
  • Finish Line Food Table: Organize the bagels, muffins & bananas for early finishers. Keep it organized & refreshed and hand out to the runners. Later, work the finish line food area with the caterers...help by collecting dinner tickets!

Tear Down: Once the excitement is settling, take everything down and pack it up!

Course marshal: Direct runners on the course, cheer them on & tell people where to go.

Unmarking: The best job! Help take down ribbon and flags, get a run/walk in.

Aid Station: Re-fuel, water, cheer and aid runners

Exchange: Keep teams organized and headed in the right direction at exchange points.

Parking Rat: Like fitting 20 pounds of potatoes in a 10lb bag..

Crew Helper: This will be a fun, fast paced job...you could be cutting up bananas one minute, hauling drop bags the next, picking up lunch, crunching data, counting shirts, packing, unpacking, repacking, or assisting with registration or the finish line, or be out on the course, the next! By the end, you'll feel like you've known us your whole life......

Set Up Days

Saturday - Race Day!

****You are welcome to volunteer to work for more than one shift...in fact we'd love it if you did! Just make sure you don't sign up for shifts that overlap...unless you know how to be two places at once :)****

OH! And one more thing! Please plan to check in at least 30 minutes before your shift! Thanks!




Critter must be 18 or older unless permission has been given by the Race Director.

If you can come early, or stay late, please check the box below and write in the comments box above how early or late you can stay. If you can pick up the shift before or after yours, please let us know. We tried to break up the shifts so they were shorter, but it means we need more people or hopefully some people don't mind spending the day with the runners. Thanks! The Dirt Crew
