Far West Masters Racing

The Far West Masters is an organization of volunteers. Our race calendar and race operations depend on the efforts of many people who contribute time and energy to putting together a schedule of challenging and enjoyable races each season.

This page lists the Far West members who contribute to our program by their efforts at each race weekend.

Race Volunteers

When you arrive at the area for a Far West Masters race, the race checkin and registration is staffed by fellow racers who have volunteered their time. Elizabeth Kennedy is our Head Race Coordinator and responsible for ensuring that we have a coordinator at each event and that all the necessary procedures and administrative forms are available.

On the hill during the race, the officials are also fellow Far West racers who have volunteered their time to help ensure that our competitions are safe and fair. At each race, we provide a Technical Delegate (TD) and a Referee who together with the Chief of Course from the organizing area comprise the race jury. Rees Palermo and Don Smith are the Head Officials and work diligently each year to ensure that we have licensed officials who are qualified to work our races.
