 +====== Position Descriptions ====== 
 +===== Flagging / Signing ===== 
 +The course needs to be marked with Signs and Flags so that runners can follow the course. There are ~100 signs (at most trail intersections) and it takes many hours, even days to sign and flag. The course is divided into four (4) sections of trail, each being 4 miles in length. 
 +  * Start/Finish (S/F) - Aid Station 1 (AS1) 
 +  * AS1 - AS2 
 +  * AS2 - AS3 
 +  * AS3 - S/F 
 + 
 +We assign 1 person to LEAD each section. It is now their duty to mark that section of the trail. They are responsible. Whether they do it all, or they call on some of the BANDITOS. 
 + 
 +The BANDITOS are a pool of trail marking people who have shown interest to help the LEADS. Nick gathers these peoples names, phone numbers, and email addresses. The week before the race, Nick sends out emails to all of these BANDITOS and LEADS and suggests that the leads grab a few BANDITOS for help.  
 + 
 +Often, a lead will email out saying "I am headed out on Thur after 4, if anyone wants to join, call me at..." 
 + 
 +  * Intersections (where any two trails merge) are likely candidates for a sign 
 +    * Signs are stapled into trees at the most visible point 
 +  * Sometimes, signs need to be more visible 
 +    * In the middle of the trail, use a supplied wooden stake, pound it into the ground (need a hammer with you) in the middle of the trail (do not block trail), and then staple the sign to it 
 +  * Pink Surveyors tape is used as confidence markers on trees 
 +    * Every 500 ft 
 +    * Before and after turns 
 +    * No longer than 6 inches 
 + 
 +Signs and tape go up the week prior to the race (5-7 days). Most of it should be done on the prior 2 days.
