Free 2023 KOH GA Entry & Camping Pass for paid positions!
Once you have completed the Course Worker Sign Up and have been confirmed for a position, we will send a private link for your* discounted entry and camping pass to be purchased in advance of arriving at the lakebed. **No free entry at gate for Course Workers or Volunteers in 2023**
Auxiliary Volunteer Force
If you are not able to commit to a position, we still need your help! As you can imagine, it takes a LOT of people to keep the Participants and Competitors at King of the Hammers safe, so this year we are introducing our Auxiliary Volunteer Force, think Quick Reaction Force. We will provide vests and you will provide additional support to our Course Workers during special events or at areas with additional crowd control needs.
- Please note you will need to be able to be reached during the race. Either cell (which is NOT reliable) or radio programmed with race ops channels. We are working with our race radio vendors to provide a discounted radio for purchase. Details will come at a later date.
Course Worker Appreciation Dinner
The coveted dinner invite of the year is back again for 2023! Secure your entry ticket by being a Course Worker for at least one full shift!
You can also gain entry as an Auxiliary Course Worker by pitching in for two or more days! After having your band scanned in/out for more than one day of work AND returning your vest, you will be added to the entry list!
The dinner will be held Thursday night and we will send out additional details as we get closer to the event!
Course Worker Appreciation Raffle
Back by popular demand is the Raffle! Our Vendors and Partners have donated some awesome prizes again this year and we will raffle them off after the Course Worker Appreciation dinner on Thursday.
Course Workers will receive an entry for each day they check in for their position. The more days you work, the better your odds of winning!
Auxiliary Volunteer Force teammates will receive a single raffle entry to thank them for their support.
Course Worker T-Shirts
We will once again be giving everyone that helps out in any capacity a T-Shirt to commemorate the dirt, sweat and tears we shared on the lakebed.
Please be sure to specify your size when you confirm your position sign up. We will associate your shirt size to your wristband to insure you get the correct size.
Payment Details
Payments will be credited approximately 30 days after we pack up Hammertown and leave the lakebed. Before processing can begin, we must have your W-9 and preferred payment method choice. We will provide the link to the W-9 form and payment choices as we confirm assignments and lock in the schedule.
