Volunteering for the Niviuk Red Rocks Wide Open, which is one of two of the US’s National race to goal events (plus Cat 2, Pre PWC World Cup, and SRS Test event) is fantastic way to be part of the community you love and is a LOT of fun! Whether you are chasing pilots around the incredible landscape while on retrieve, helping pilots launch their gliders, or any other task, you’ll make life-long friends and learn a ton from some of the best pilots in the world.

The organization will provide chalk talks on all kinds of cross-country subjects on weather days as well as take the competitors to nearby National Parks and other really fun outings (hot springs, mountain bike shuttles, river runs, etc.). They also provide three meals a day, free beautiful camping on the Sevier River with hot showers and great facilities, and a free XC clinic with a few of the best pilots in the US September 27 and 28.
