Volunteers are the heart of the DHC and make it happen. Without you this event simply cannot happen!

NOTE: Volunteers are eligible to win all raffle prizes, and all food is free for volunteers.

Site Setup and Breakdown - 7 volunteers needed: This involves settng up tables, tents, chairs, and digital timing equipment and display, and taking them down and transporting back to storage locations.

Food pickup and distribution - 2 volunteers needed: This requires picking up the coffee pumps, fruit, pastries, bottled water, etc from Fairhaven Haggen's and Avenue Bread and distributing them on onsite tables for the contestants.

Registration - 3 volunteers needed: This requires distributing race packets to preregistered contestants according to boat numbers, and taking in day-of-race registrations and monies. You will also need to answer questions about the day's schedule of events.
