Communication:
-------

Like last year, our main communication channels will be our social media accounts.

Swiss Volunteers:
-------

Swiss Volunteers is our partner platform for volunteer management, connecting dedicated volunteers in Switzerland with sports and cultural events to create unforgettable experiences.

Without the volunteers, we would not be able to hold the Allalin Races and offer you an unforgettable event.

If you know someone who would be willing to help out during a shift, there are still opportunities:
