Looking to get involved with this year's races but not sure how? We have many volunteer opportunities to choose from, both indoors and out! From helping set up the races to assisting with dog handling to working checkpoints or merch booths, there is something for everyone.

We couldn’t have these races if it wasn’t for our amazing volunteers. We are grateful for the time and effort you all dedicate to the UP200!
