Would you like a free entry to this year’s race?
The Mt Si Relay and Ultra Runs covers 60 miles, lasts a full day and serves 600-700 racers, and it’s all done by volunteers. We’ve got a bunch already but we need more. We’re asking you to help us help you, and offering an incentive: Any team or solo runner that provides a race day volunteer will be entered in a drawing for a full refund of their race registration fee. There will be at least one prize for relay teams and one for solo runners, with more prizes if there are more volunteers. Please read the detailed rules below.
If you have friends or family who will be out on race day to cheer you on, consider asking them to volunteer. Helping run an aid station or directing racers is an excellent way for them to see you on the course. Volunteering supports the race, supports charities, and is a lot of fun---and might earn you a free race registration.
Drawing Official Rules
You get one entry in the drawing for each eligible volunteer you provide. There is no limit to the number of drawing entries for a team or solo (25K or ultra) runner. You increase your odds of winning by providing more volunteers, but you can only win one refund.
To be eligible to earn an entry, volunteers must
- Sign up for a volunteer shift at mtsirelay.com “volunteer” tab
- Add the comment “I represent (team name) or (25k or ultra runner name)” in the comment section of the signup; OR send an email to mtsivolunteers@hotmail.com with the volunteer’s name and the name of the team or solo runner that they represent
- Show up for their shift on race day and check in with their assigned volunteer captain, who will record their service.
Volunteers who are ESRs member are not eligible to earn an entry for this drawing.

The list of eligible entries will be published on mtsirelay.com and emailed to all teams and runners after race day and 1 week before the drawing. Teams and runners are responsible for correcting missing entries prior to the drawing, by contacting race officials at mtsivolunteers@hotmail.com.
The drawing will be held two weeks after race day. Winners will be announced on the mtsirelay.com web site and notified by email and US mail. Refund checks will be sent via US mail.
