🚐 LEAPFROG Volunteer System
To make the best use of our volunteer team and reduce the number of volunteers needed on course, the Banff Jasper Relay uses a LEAPFROG system — allowing volunteers to support multiple exchange points throughout the day.
Volunteers assigned to this role will be active all day, helping set up, manage, and tear down multiple exchanges along the route.
🛏 Accommodation:
Volunteers working full-day LEAPFROG shifts may be eligible for shared accommodation in Jasper (four volunteers per room).
