Runners on a mountain trail

Every race needs a crew

Volunteer with High Altitude Races

Help at Thanksgiving Leftovers, Trippin’, Dashin’ for Diamonds, or Gaspin’. Every hour earns credit toward your next entry.

Our events don’t exist without volunteers. Behind every aid station, every course marking, every finish-line moment—there’s a crew of dedicated people making the experience unforgettable for runners. If you love the mountains, enjoy supporting others, or simply want to be part of the trail-running community, we’d love to have you on our team.

Why Volunteer?

Every hour you volunteer earns you credit that can be applied toward entry fees for future High Altitude Races events.
