2026 VOLUNTEER SIGN-UP
Medical Volunteers
Our mandate is to provide the best care possible to patients on race day, therefore, whenever possible, the Medical Committee will honor position & shift applications. However, all final placement decisions will be made to meet the medical needs of the event as a whole. Because patient care and safety come before all other considerations, based on your background and training, you might be assigned to a position different from the one for which you are applying.
Volunteer Medical SIGN-UPVolunteer in 2026!

If you would like to add another volunteer job at another time, just click the box “Check here if you do not have an email” when registering for your additional job to ensure that your previous information is not deleted.

Volunteers under 18 years of age on race day must have a parent or legal guardian complete the registration waiver (email volunteers@p3r.org for waiver form). Volunteers under 16 years of age must be accompanied by an adult. Due to the length of most shifts and the unpredictable nature of the event, children under the age of 12 are not permitted to volunteer or accompany registered volunteers.
- Every registered volunteer will receive an official volunteer shirt. Please note that sizes are not guaranteed.
- Some volunteer positions are more physical than others. Be sure to read the job description before signing up to volunteer.
