Mount Hays Quickclimb looking for volunteers for August event

Organizers are laying the groundwork for this years Mount Hays Quickclimb, with a volunteer introduction meeting scheduled for tonight at 7:30 at Cowpuccino's Coffee House.

As we outlined on the blog in May, the popular ascent up the North Coast's Mount Hays is being revived this year, once again through the sponsorship of Quickload Logistics, which this year is being joined by McElhanney to bring the August 16th event together.

It's been five years since the road up Mount Hays has been tackled in a competitive fashion and this years plans are designed to make the day a family event with as much happening at the base of the mountain as there will be on the way up it.

Tonight's information session is designed to give would be  volunteers a look at some of the things that need to be done to organize such an event as Quickclimb.

Featuring everything from putting posters up around the city, to helping with the set up on race day and the BBQ celebration to take place at the base of the mountain.

You can find out more about the information session for tonight from the Mount Hays Quickclimb Facebook page.

Organizers have also developed a website for the August event as well as a twitter feed to keep residents of the Northwest up to date on developments related to this years event
