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 2013: Volunteers who spend at least 8 hours volunteering at this year's event will earn automatic entry into the 2014 event. These hours can be earned the weekend of the race and/or during pre-race organization. This is one small way we thank our volunteers.
