Rochelle did an amazing job organizing this volunteer event. Thank you!

I've volunteered at Leadville Race Series events for more than three years. It's always fun to meet other volunteers and help to make the event as positive and memorable as possible for participating atheltes. Volunteer activities are always very well organized and we're made to feel that we're an important part of what makes these events so successful.

Volunteering at Life Time Events is always a great time. The event was well organized, and we got to meet lots of fun people. Thanks for the opportunity!

Number of volunteers seemed about right. Everyone had something to do. Personally, I felt like my time was valued by the LRS staff coordinating the event. Overall, a great experience.

My wife and I very much enjoyed the opportunity to serve as course marshals for this event. As feedback for consideration, I would offer the following:
- The intersection of CO 4 and 9D was extremely busy during the event (mostly race crews chasing their athletes). Having at least two course marshals at this intersection is essential to ensure the safety of athletes.
- I understand there were no road closures during this event (other than 6th St), but allowing traffic to turn onto 9D while athletes were approaching that crossing was concerning. We had several vehicles on CO 4 that thought it was okay to go ahead and turn onto 9D even though we had traffic blocked as riders approached the intersection. That created at least 3-4 close calls with riders approaching CO 4 from 9D. I'm not sure if anything can be done to reduce or eliminate traffic on 9D during the race, but it was a concern.
- Having some sort of "flags" for course marshals to use to attract the attention on oncoming traffic might be helpful. I know light batons were available for use during hours of darkness, but just a simple orange or red flag to wave would have improved our ability to attract the attention of oncoming traffic.
