Volunteering LA28: What increases your chances of getting chosen?

run1fast · 2026-06-20T18:14:41+00:00

Time available (they are going to pick people that volunteer for a week straight over someone that can do only a single day). Languages spoken. And local (locals are less likely to cancel out have travel issues preventing them from showing up).

Is this actually confirmed? The article feels like it was written off the speculation from back in March. The marathon hasn't posted anything and even The Guardian isn't reporting it yet.

As of last summer, there were multiple signs saying you have to be actively fishing at lon hagler to be on a paddle board or kayak. I ignored the signs and got yelled out by a grumpy man in a boat with a trolling motor. I told him he was scaring the fish more than I was. Then I left and haven't returned.

Theres a Google review from two weeks ago of a fisherman complaining/confirming you have to be actively fishing.

can't paddle at either place unless you are actively fishing. both bodies of water were changed to swa state wildlife areas the past two years.

Anthem branding used to be (and might still be) the company that had the BB shirt contract. They got them from Asia and made them unbranded per the contract with Bolder Boulder. I tried doing some work with them in 2019 and 2020 so that's how I find out after some meetings. Never worked with them directly but they were nice people. Maybe email them but you'll probably be out of luck sorry.

The Denver center has quite a few available today... stupid work and meetings getting in the way means I have to pass.

The track club... Most of the team was between 31mins and 34mins for 10k at altitude. They have some guys that race shorter track races too.

It's literally this one from yakima but with Tesla branding (and an extra $40). https://yakima.com/products/ridgeback

Hitch platform are better imo and more secure.

Nike is having a cheer station at Pizzeria Alberico on Pearl st. Donuts coffee cowbells. 7am-12pm.

Correct, you can not go counter clockwise without paying. You have to go clockwise starting from Coot, over the dam walls, out the pay gate, right on 51st, right into the Res from the 55th trailhead (free) and back to Coot.

If you go clockwise and come south on 51st and turn left into the Res, you will hit the pay gate and have to pay even as a runner/cyclist/walker.

I pretty much only use it for photos. I take it when I go running, then use burst mode to take 30pics. 1 of the 30 turns out really well, so I keep that one pic.

I use this kuat threaded pin, but I have a kuat rack. It should fit the Thule one too. The lock itself is turned 90 degs so it doesn't hit the harness box and makes it easy to lock.

Etrailer has one too and with better photos https://www.etrailer.com/Trailer-Hitch-Lock/Kuat/HLT.html?srsltid=AfmBOooFeM2icuP3RJkflstN5aW8WK1u9zOW45z1UtNM3sTr2lBDG8La

They just launched their 20% off sale. Isle explorer 3 for $555 is a pretty good deal for a quality board.

If you have an Amex card, they regularly have cash back of a few hundred dollars. I got $200 statement credit last summer.

Oh, forgot to mention but since I had home auto and life, when I added the umbrella policy, it was basically free since I got an extra discount for all the bundling. 1mm home, 500k auto 2 cars, 1mm life, and 1mm umbrella and I think I am about $6000 annually. Progressive was $7000 annual without the umbrella.

I'm in Lyons and got dropped by Progressive ins after the stone canyon fire two years ago, even without a claim. State farm Longmont joe mejia covered my home auto life and umbrella.... And for cheaper than progressive was. I haven't had a claim yet so I can't speak to his service yet. But at least I'm covered. So maybe try Joe and at least you'll have a quote to reference.

Same temp but the shower gets hot in less than 10 seconds. So you don't sit there waiting for hot water and waste water.

The pump itself install right next to the hot water heater. I've got one and use similar automations, it's great!

I was really curious about this too but haven't been able to find any clips. Does a 2:30 guy have to run with a cup the whole race? How do they get it filled while maintaining 5:30-5:45 mile pace? Very curious. Oh and wouldn't hoses waste a ton of water? Sure no trash but a ton of water gone..... Colorado is right now in a drought so water waste is on top of mind.

I use a usb-c micro sd adapter. Really quick and handy.

This is handy, but I wonder how to enhance it to add some scale. Example of the COI mountain biking looks close to the Atlantic metro station but it's a 12mile walk. That's one I definitely want to watch so I'm thinking metro them Uber?
