QUANTICO, Va. — Fifteen volunteers helped out during the Amazing Devil Dog Challenge at Barber Physical Activity Center on base Friday.

The volunteers arrived at the gym at approximately 5 a.m. to help with setting up the event and registering teams. Christi Lee, fitness trainer and event coordinator for the gym, briefed the volunteers on everything they’d be doing that morning. Some of the Marines helped set up a table in one of the rooms and registered teams as they entered, while others headed out to their posts around the base.

“The volunteers are a tremendous help,” said Lee. “Without them, we couldn’t do all of this. Our staff is just too small.”

There were 26 teams, all of which started out in front of the gym. The teams would run to seven different places to answer a trivia question. If the teams couldn’t answer completely and correctly, they’d have to perform a penalty before heading to the next stop.
