Volunteers
The AMH Anchorage Cup ski races would not be possible without help from volunteers like you. All race officials and organizers are unpaid volunteers. To keep citizen racing alive and well, all racers should plan to help during at least one race of the series at registration, course marking or course clean-up. Non-racers can help at timing, bib-pickup and feed stations for longer races. Please ask how you can help during registration and bib-pickup.
Questions?
If you need more information or if you would like to volunteer to help, please contact race directors Brian and Sue Looney (phone: 522-2549 or blooney@crweng.com).
