Thanks to our Amazing Volunteers!!
An event like Cascade Crest would never happen without the help of countless volunteers. This includes race organizers, trail workers, course markers, aid station workers, HAM radio operators, and the Easton Volunteer Fire Department.
New for 2014: Volunteers will be rewarded with extra tickets for the next year's lottery based on the number of hours volunteered. Specific details to be posted soon.
