ATHLETE JUDGE PROGRAM
DEKA is truly a fitness movement we all created together. To ensure a professionally judged racing experience for all athletes, we are launching the DEKA Athlete Judge Program at all DEKA FIT events.

How it works:
During the weeks leading up to your race, all registered athletes will receive an email with the Northeast DEKA FIT Athlete Judge Sign-up Form to select their preferred Athlete Judge time. * You can also submit the Athlete Judge Sign-up Form before you receive the email.

Within 1 hour of finishing your race (or anytime before your race), make your way to the Athlete Judge check-in area at Zone 1 to begin your 60 minute volunteer judging time.

We can’t thank you enough for your support as we continue our mission of creating an epic opportunity for ALL levels to celebrate fitness together.
