RACE FOR FREE. VOGO or Volunteer One, Get One is a great way for athletes to volunteer at a race and earn a free race (for themselves or someone else) later in the season. The days of volunteering for a t-shirt and a bagel are over. Great volunteers make the race safer and more enjoyable. Volunteer today!
Questions? My suggestion is to add it to the Cal Tri Events Facebook Page or one of the Facebook Event Pages because it is very likely someone else has the same question. Otherwise, send me a note.
Best of luck in 2020 from the entire Cal Tri Events Team.
