Approximately 300 Volunteers Needed Aug. 11-15 for the Coolest Kids Race on the Planet
(Vail, Colo.) – The Vail Kids Adventure Games (Kids A.G.) is right around the corner! From August 7-11, children ages six to 14 will race and navigate an adventure course throughout Maloit Park in Minturn that will include mud pits, low ropes course, ziplines, a giant Slope N’ Slide, tubing and more.
Adults and kids ages 14 and up who don’t want to be left out of the action are being sought to join in as volunteers and help with the various obstacles, course marshaling, transition areas and at the start and finish lines.
Approximately 50 volunteers are needed each day to assist with a variety of tasks, which will include helping more than 1,000 young competitors challenge themselves during the five-day event.
“In year number twelve, we’re so appreciative of how the community rallies around this event,” said Vail Kids A.G. Director Helene Mattison. “This is the largest event we do and we’ve watched it expand over the years. We could not provide such an incredible experience for our racers and their families without the many volunteers that come back annually to watch these kids compete, race and have fun in Vail Valley.”
Volunteers will receive an official event T-shirt, while supplies last, and be entered into a volunteer raffle.
Volunteer Shifts: Aug. 13-15, 7 a.m. to 2 p.m.: Race day activities including course marshals, timing, athlete check-in, etc. Lunch will be provided for volunteers who sign up for a full shift.
