Volunteer at Poca Go!
Not a racer, but love the energy of just being at Pocahontas State Park? We have a place for you! Poca Go! is 100 percent volunteer driven. Without your support, this race would not be possible.
We have a variety of activities we need your help with to produce the race. Experience with the course is helpful for course marshal positions, but there are several other positions such as parking, check-in, and just general information. Your help to give everyone the best experience possible.
So, how can you get involved?

Volunteer Information
Volunteer check-in will be in front of the amphitheater; behind the Nature Center. Entry into the park is free—let the attendant at the main gate know that you are volunteering for the race—this is only available through the main gate. Some volunteers may choose to park at the Courthouse Rd. parking lot—but free parking is not available— and check-in at the rvaMORE tent near “The Hub”. Allow plenty of time for parking, check-in, and getting to your volunteer location.
This year, Poca Go! is providing a box lunch. You may want to consider bringing a folding chair, water, bug spray, sunscreen, etc. You are welcome to ride or hike to your assignment location, and we will have some limited motorized transportation. If you know you will require transportation (or if you need us to drop a chair), let us know in advance and we will do our best to accommodate. If you are not familiar with the park, our team will help you get to the correct location and will be available to provide assistance throughout your time block. Please have your cell phone available so you can reach us and we can reach you on race day.
Please note that the time slots for volunteer assignments are best guess estimates and are subject to change within reason as details are fine tuned. We will be in touch with all volunteers in advance of the race to ensure you understand the requirements, how to get to your location, and to answer any questions you have.
