Teams with at least one member residing within a 100 mile radius of Portland are considered local and must provide three (3) race volunteers or one (1) Exchange Leader (while positions last). If interested in providing an Exchange Leader, contact [email protected]
There is no buy-out option to providing volunteers. Teams are responsible for ensuring their volunteers complete the mandatory online training, show up on time, and fulfill the required tasks.
Please refer to the Zipcode Finder to see if your team is considered local.
Starting at 10am PST, check your Team Clubhouse account for the “Add Volunteer” button. Invite your three required volunteers to the volunteer portal via email.
*The volunteer tab will become available in early July. Check out the key dates document to learn more. All local teams are required to provide three volunteers or one exchange leader.
*Volunteers will receive an email from the HTC/PTC Team Clubhouse where they will need to accept the volunteer invitation. If your volunteers do not receive the email, ask them to check their junk mailbox. Still experiencing issues? Contact us at [email protected]

Volunteers get to choose their location and time based on a first come first serve availability after watching Volunteer Training Modules 1-4 and passing the multiple choice questionnaire with at least 75% accuracy.
Volunteers must go through the 15-20 minute training module, provide personal information, emergency contact information, sign the event waiver and select their shift time and location.
*If you need to change a volunteer, please delete the original volunteer and then add the new volunteer in their place. Your new volunteer will need to select a new shift location and time- they cannot take the old volunteer’s shift unless it is still available. Any volunteer registered with your team will be expected to arrive for their shift so please make sure your volunteers appear accurate in the Team Clubhouse prior to the event.

Team Captains that provide Exchange Leader Volunteers will be contacted prior to training and will receive more information.
Hood & Portland To Coast participants, volunteers, contractors and employees strive to create equal opportunities and a welcoming, non-discriminatory environment. We are all working together to create an inclusive race community!
Race Volunteers: Race volunteers are located at the physical Exchange point. They report to the Exchange Leader, and check in at the Exchange point. Duties include:
Volunteer Monitor: Volunteer Monitors are positioned along important course turns within half a mile to several miles of an Exchange. A monitor directs participants and vans in a certain direction. They report to the Exchange Leader, and check in at the Exchange point.
Equipment Sitter: An ‘Equipment Sitter’ stays with and watches important race equipment at the Exchange. This is done in the time period between the Portland To Coast Walk Relay and Hood To Coast participants, when no one else is at the Exchange. The volunteer can read, talk on phone, etc. as long as they are at the Exchange, watching the equipment.
Exchange Leader: An Exchange Leader is the point person that manages all volunteers at the given exchange point. Exchange Leaders go through the regular volunteer training as well as an extensive virtual training with the HTC Staff. All volunteers check-in with the exchange leader when they arrive for their shift and when they leave.
When you arrive:
Look for the HTC Exchange Leader, wearing a race official HTC polo and baseball cap. You will sign in with the official Exchange Leader who will provide guidance on your specific assignment.
Exchange Zones:
Parking:
Reflective vests, flashlights, or other lighted devices requirement:

Volunteer shifts are approximately 4-6 hours. If you are an Exchange Leader volunteer, shift lengths are 8-10 hours.
