YOU CANNOT RACE UNTIL YOU FILL OUT THIS FORM! http://goo.gl/forms/xsKRpnFL8t

To ease the below requirement, we are having 5 trail-building FUN days! It is in cooperation with MORE (mountain bikers).

1 HOUR OF VOLUNTEER PARK WORK REQUIRED!

YOU CANNOT RACE UNTIL YOU FILL OUT THIS FORM!

http://goo.gl/forms/xsKRpnFL8t

In order to run the MD HEAT Race, every participant must log at least 1 hour of outside volunteer service work. PLUS, it really is GREAT for our PARKS, and WE HAVE SERIOUS FUN at our organized Volunteer events!

What counts?

The required time can be at our own organized events OR at any other park. This would ideally be trail work, though any park or outdoor work that enhances the land that we use can pass.

EVENT VOLUNTEERING DOES NOT COUNT, unless it is enhancing the park or land. Being a course marshall, event organizer, or aid station helper, does assist other running events, but it does not help the park and trails that our feet and trash degrade over time. This is the purpose of the volunteer work, and it is why Patapsco Park Management is requiring this.

Where to find park vol opps

  1. Our own:
    • See dates above!
  2. Elsewhere:
    • Lookup your local parks webpage and then search for volunteer opportunities.
    • M.O.R.E. http://www.more-mtb.org/events/month/ puts together amazing trail-building events in the VA, MD, DC area.
    • If you want to get time on your own, pick up trash in heavily littered sections of your favorite park. However, you can have more impact if you look for park-sponsored volunteer events near you.
    • Email Nick: nyeates1 @ umbc . edu

What to keep track of

We require that you can tell us when and where you did the volunteer work via the link above.

Keep track of:

  • Where you did it
  • When it was
  • What you did
