Thanks to our volunteers!
The first people to accept the challenge of the National 24 Hour Challenge are our nearly 150 volunteers. This group of dedicated, passionate, committed volunteers provided over 1,000 hours of volunteer time during the event weekend alone, and countless hours in planning and preparation for the event.
A hardy thank you to each and every one of our volunteers. From set-up, registration, and checkpoints to food, scoring, and safety – you powered the challenge this year. We look forward to seeing you once again next year!
