Meet at The Warming Tent on Washington St. You will be assigned teams and given final directions. Please ONLY sign up if you can stay for both races. These are highly sought after spots and we need people for both runs. It is a 4.5 hour shift.

Handlers must be able to jog/run on loose snow for a maximum of two blocks.

No loose clothing, yaktraks or similar. Please bring gloves. Leashes recommended as needed (we'll teach you how to use).
