The following are the steps to be used by the Selection Committee for determining who is awarded the entry. The Selection Committee will rank the candidates to determine who is most deserving of the award based on their outstanding level of volunteering at WSER and at other running-related events. To prevent a “Conflict of Interest,” anyone who applies for the entry will not be eligible to be on the Selection Committee. The intent of this document is to provide a clear and unbiased process and guidance for identifying the most deserving candidate based on their outstanding level of volunteering for WSER and the broader running community.Īpplications submitted by eligible runners will be reviewed by a Selection Committee composed of the GVH elected Officers and Aid Station Captain(s). It is the desire of the WSER that the aid station entries are awarded to individuals who embody the spirit of volunteerism that is necessary to put on that event. Because there are literally thousands more entrants than there are available entries, this entry is highly coveted.

In this spirit of giving back to the running community, the approach to awarding the Cal 1 Aid Station slot emphasizes volunteering and active club membership. The race strongly encourages each aid station captain to award the entry to someone who has demonstrated a strong record of volunteering, especially for the WSER. Our club is fortunate to be one of those whose members manage an aid station. As a way to show it's appreciation for the volunteers who help at aid stations, each aid station is awarded an automatic entry into the Western States Endurance Run. The Western States Endurance Run (WSER) is a not-for-profit event which is only made possible through the generosity of the over 1500 volunteers who enjoy giving back to the running community year after year.
