Desert Sprints Regatta needs YOU!

If you've arrived at this page....why, yes, we'd love to have you as a volunteer for the 2025 Desert Sprints Regatta!

We need volunteers on March 2, 2025, during the regatta, as well as the day before and after the event. Some of our key needs are:

  • Parking. Help guide participants and spectators to open areas of the marina.
  • Set-up. Tables, tents, banners, merchandise...everything to get the regatta ready to go.
  • Registration/information. Giving out pins early, giving out medals later, helping answer questions all day.
  • T-shirts and clothing. Rowing gear practically sells itself, but we still need your help to ring the register.
  • Assistant dock and ramp masters. Help direct incoming and outgoing boat traffic.
  • Safety boat holders. See the action up close as you assist boats at the startline.
  • Finish line. Assist the finish line official with timing and order of finish.
  • Rovers. You might end up doing any of the above! Please be flexible and bring a cell phone.

Sign up link is here!

In the meantime, if you have any questions: Send an email to Emily

Do you want to drive a safety boat? Please contact Ryan at [email protected] to schedule a convenient time to get certified.

Thanks again to all of our wonderful volunteers—it couldn't happen without you!
