Good volunteers make the race enjoyable and safe for the athletes.  I have been in charge of course management for the XTERRA Gallatin since 1999, So I have witnessed this event's needs time and time again.  Below are the positions for Transition, Swim Course, Bike Course and Water Stops.

Please contact me @ bc@thebikerschoice.com if you would like to help.
