RECRUITING ALL VOLUNTEERS FOR DEVIL’S THUMB:

From Denis Zilaff

 

We can finally see the smoke clear and the excitement build for the Western States Endurance Run (WSER) after a very difficult cancelled year. The 36th running of the Western States 100 Mile Endurance Run is fast approaching and I am recruiting Bison volunteers to work at the Devil's Thumb aid station, a Buffalo Chips sponsored aid station, on Saturday June 27th.

So, once again, it is that time to gear up for the WSER.  I have been involved with the WSER in one form or another since 1984 and would like to have you join me in a very enjoyable day volunteering at the Devil’s Thumb Aid Station (DT).   

I have already been approached by Mike Savage to co-captain DT.  Mike is a great runner and ran the race with me in 2005 and on at least one other occasion.  Sandra Opiela will be back to run “Hell’s Kitchen” our infamous snack bar and Popsicle lounge, along with Sophy Brown and her gang.  Tony Smith will bring supplies from the Buffalo Chips warehouse but will need some help.  I am recruiting volunteers but also for key individuals to make sure the operation continues to run smoothly.  I especially need people with trucks so don’t be shy.  We are a major aid station and it takes a bunch of Devils to get the runners through Hell, so let me know (emails are best) if you are interested in helping.

I am at most Tuesday night workouts if you have any questions.
