DeeGee, it's not Western States, (though that is the same deal, 8+ hours of trail work/volunteering) it's The Bear 100 in Utah - you can 'pay' someone to do it for you for $60 I think, fortunately I've done my quota sweeping an ultra

I'd be happy with a crew t shirt You could always promise free entry for the following year for volunteers assuming there is going to be a following year.

Yes - crew t shirt is a fab idea "today was only possible because of me" as a slogan

I like the idea of free/reduced entry to future event. This wouldn't be taken up by all volunteers but would acknowledge those that can't afford to enter and a way of working to earn it.

I like your suggestion re: the double Dee Gee. Crew T-shirt sounds good too. Something useful like a water bottle as a memento/freebie is good I reckon. |

food does it for me. though often there are complaints from the runners that there is nothing left nici did any actual runner get any of those dime bar cakes you made at sdw100? |

Loz, I fear I won't be using the same supplier for crew t-shirts as I did for TR24, even if those were brilliant...
