Race Day Volunteers Needed

May 24, 2011 by blackflychallenge

It takes lots of help to pull off a race as big as the Black Fly Challenge. At this point the biggest need is crews for the water & spotting stations along Cedar River Road, in the Moose River Plains and on Fern Mt. We need 8 or 9 crews of 2 people each. If you would like to help on race day, please visit the Volunteers page to check out the locations, hours & contact points.
