Job: Kids Race Coordinator
What went well:
1. Registration ran smoothly-location was good and having two people this year made the process faster for kids and parents.
2. Attendance was great-we had 106 kids..too many actually.
3. Volunteers were reliable and helped where/when needed.
How to make job better: 1.Limit field size- for safety and time available I think we should limit total number of kids to 75-80 (we had to turn people away this year which led to some upset parents and kids, it was not a good situation).
2. Emphasize field limits and reg closing time in the pr announcements (many people came after reg closed)
3. Clearly define the staging area- with so many kids it was chaotic getting them organized by age group.
4. Clearly define where kids should stay once they come off the course to wait for a parent...we'll need a volunteer to chaperone. Also, define a process of reuniting kids and parents if they become separated as we saw this year.
5. Provide a bullhorn for the kids start line- it's really loud with that many kids and parents, so to give instructions etc was very difficult.
6. Improve kids race announcement so the course stays clear and people know the race is starting.
Would you do the same job next year? Yes
