Volunteer at Killington Full Send Fridays Enduro: Earn a Lift Ticket Marshalling the Course

Q: Where do I check in for my shift?

Check in with a member of the Killington Events Team in Snowshed Lodge between 12:00 and 12:30 p.m. on race day.

Volunteer for Full Send Fridays Enduro at Killington and turn race-day adrenaline into a meaningful outdoor shift. This volunteer course marshal role takes place on Killington’s mountain bike racecourse, with check-in in Snowshed Lodge and assignments beginning from the Top of Goat Skull bike trail. The outing is based at Killington Resort and centers on a Friday afternoon marshal shift—on July 24 the Enduro Course Marshal window is 12:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.—that mixes uphill hiking, strategic vantage points, and essential hands-on race support.

As a course marshal you’ll be positioned along singletrack and technical sections to manage traffic, monitor rider safety, and relay conditions back to the events team. Duties include standing or hiking to a designated post, directing non-competitor trail users, and responding to incidents until the shift concludes. A brief marshal meeting at the start of the shift outlines radio procedures and location responsibilities; volunteers must be at least 18 and will sign a waiver before participating. Check-in with the Killington Events Team in Snowshed Lodge between 12:00 and 12:30 p.m.

Volunteering trades time on the trail for a tangible reward: each completed shift earns a free Killington lift ticket voucher valid for one calendar year from the earned date. That perk makes the role appealing for riders who want to stretch a weekend at the resort without paying lift fees, and it attracts hikers and adventure-minded locals who enjoy spending hours on varied terrain. Expect mixed northern hardwood forest, rocky and rooty trail sections, and steep descents typical of Killington’s bike network; those features make each marshal point both scenic and active.

Why this position stands out locally is the combination of community energy and practical need. Races like the Enduro draw volunteers, racers, and spectators into close contact with the mountain environment; volunteers are a visible part of keeping the event safe and efficient. The work is hands-on and social: you’ll meet other volunteers and staff, learn course flow, and get a front-row seat to race dynamics without riding the timed stages yourself.

Plan for hiking-ready shoes, layered clothing suitable for mountain weather, hydration, and a charged phone. You’ll also need to complete the posted waiver. If you want to be near race activity, enjoy trail time, and earn a lift ticket for future exploration, this marshal shift is a practical way to make that happen.

Volunteers often receive brief on-site training in incident reporting and basic first aid procedures, and experienced staff are available for questions. Bring snacks, sun protection, and a high-visibility vest if you have one. The role offers an affordable entry point to Killington’s bike culture and a chance to contribute directly to a safer, better-run event. Register early to secure.
