The majority of positions that we need help with are at the aid stations, and there are three of them along the Ghost Train Trail:

• Camp Tevya (Brookline)

• Milford DPW (Milford)

• Powerlines  (Roughly 4 miles from Camp Tevya and 3.5 miles from the Milford DPW)

While all volunteer jobs are super important, working at an aid station give you direct access to all the runners as they come by.  It is not only a great opportunity to see friends and family running the race, but a chance to see the race close up.  

Runners tend to remember the acts from these volunteers - someone who got them a hot beverage or gave them a few motivational words and a smile to encourage them to keep going when they needed it.  

What will you be doing?  

• Keeping the aid station stocked with all kinds of fruit, snacks, cold food, hot food, water, Tailwind, hot beverages, broths and soups, and anything else on the menu!

• Camp Tevya and the Milford DPW have a larger selection of food and hot foods.  These aid stations may involve cooking things like grilled cheese and quesadillas, making peanut butter & jelly or other kinds of sandwiches, and warming entrees or soups.

• Power Lines is more basic and generally has cookies, crackers, some candy, pickles, water, Tailwind, and hot water and broth overnight.   There is a camp stove to keep water hot, and make hot broth.

• You can offer to fill water bottles, do some of the cooking, and generally provide whatever we can to help the runners get out on their next leg.

Check in with the Captain at your aid station.  They can provide additional information as each aid station will have training and informative material available.
