To keep our races accessible and affordable, DSE relies on all members volunteering at least once in each calendar year.  

DSE Members earn Volunteer Points for their various contributions to the club throughout the year. In order to receive volunteer points at our weekly races, members sign up on the race pre-registration sheet that is emailed to all members every month. Be sure to check in with the Race Director on race day to receive the correct number of points.

Members who earn at least three volunteer points in a calendar year are eligible to win Annual Awards and participate in DSE-sponsored Bay to Breakers centipede and Christmas Relay teams.
