How will I get my free or discounted race code?
Upon check out, the volunteer coordinator will ask you if you are using your race code for “this event” or for a “future event.”
This event would qualify for the same weekend racing.
Future event would qualify for any US Spartan race within the 2025 or 2026 year (code has to be used within 365 days of being send to you). If you are a pre event volunteer please head to volunteer tent on Saturday or Sunday and our Volunteer coordinator will help you how sign up.
How do I volunteer + run the same weekend?
Running AM + Volunteering PM: Sign up for the AM Volunteer heat using the links provided to you via email or you can scan a QR code at the volunteer tent. Race your race and once you are ready to check in for your shift, head to the volunteer tent. Please give yourself enough time to recoup and make it to check in on time. After your shift, tell your volunteer coordinator that you raced this event and will not need a future code. Please note, this option is only available on Super/Sprint days, not Ultra or Beast Days.

What if I am not running the same weekend as volunteering?
After you complete your shift, tell your volunteer coordinator that you would like a future race code. Codes are sent out within 7 days after the event.
Can I volunteer and race on the same day?
Same-day racing is allowed on Super and Sprint days as long as you sign for a volunteer shift that does not interfere with your race. Please allow enough time in between racing and volunteering to get ready for your race/shift. 2 weeks before the event, we will adjust the Volunteer Shift times to accommodate same day racing on these days. On ultra and beast days, this is not an option due to the length of time needed to complete these races. If there are still heats going on after your volunteer shift is over, you are welcome to race, but we will not adjust volunteer shift time to accommodate racing on those days.
Do the codes valid for age group or elite heats?
No. The free code is valid for OPEN HEATS ONLY for the OCR and Age Group for DEKA FIT. You can upgrade and pay the difference for the other heats online once you register.
