The RACE COMMITTEE is a group of dedicated volunteers who come back year after year, some for 30 years! By volunteering, you join the Race Committee in making the Ski to Sea Race the largest and most fun community event in Whatcom County. When you volunteer, you give back to an event that defines our community, and our region. Leg Chairs are responsible for overseeing one specific race leg, coordinating with volunteers, managing equipment, ensuring a safe, fun experience for participants, and attending race committee and safety meetings. This role requires strong organization, leadership and communication skills as well as open availability race weekend. If you are interested in joining the Race Committee in 2026, we have one open position. Email us at info@skitosea.com for more information.

All volunteers receive a Ski to Sea T-shirt and a lunch. You are also invited to our Volunteer Appreciation Party on Tuesday,  June 9th (location TBD). It is a great way to share stories with your fellow volunteers and our committee. An evite for the event will be sent out to all confirmed volunteers after the race.

Volunteer early to get your preferred race leg! If you have questions for our volunteer coordinator Anna, please email volunteer@skitosea.com

All volunteers must accept our Hold Harmless Agreement in the volunteer form below. All volunteers must be 15 years of age on Race Day. Minors must print and have a parent sign the waiver while those over 18 can sign via e-signature.
