From the Organizer
This signup is for volunteer registration ONLY (both runners & non-runners). There are no discounts or free entries for volunteers.
Registration for running the race has closed! We have sold out all 3000 spots for the 2015 race. If you have not already registered to run the race, you will not be able to even if you sign up as a Hero volunteer. But we hope you will still participate and help out!
WHEN DO I HAVE TO GET THERE?
Very important that all volunteers report at 7:00am to get your assignment and get settled in before runners start arriving at 7:30am.
WILL THERE BE COFFEE?
In prior years we've spent $300 on coffee & bagels and end up throwing half of it out. Again in 2015 - we will no longer provide coffee & bagels. However the first 60 people to sign in as volunteers will be given $5.00 each, so please get your own coffee prior to 7:00am arrive early and you may even make a buck on the deal.
Or, if you are feeling generous you can decline the $5 and it will go directly to our charities.
WHAT WILL I BE DOING?
Most of the work is pre-race 7am-9am in the parking garage helping runners with Number & T-shirt pick up. It takes 50-60 people to make this go smoothly. We never have enough folks for this - if you are running please consider helping out in the garage pre race.
Other jobs include finish area set up in front of the Burren, and clock coordinators at miles 1, 2 & 3.
WHEN WILL I KNOW WHAT I'LL BE DOING?
Assignments are dependent on how many volunteers we have, and unfortunately folks tend to wait until the last minute to commit. As a result volunteer assignments are not finalized until the night before the race.
When you check in you'll be given a sticker with your assignments for pre-race and during race (if not running).
CAN I HAVE THE SAME JOB AS LAST YEAR?
If you volunteered previously every effort will be made to leverage your knowledge & experience and assign you to the same area.
YOU MUST NEED MORE HELP - HOW CAN I ASSIST?
Biggest need is for folks willing to be Captains at Number Pick Up who can train & coordinate other volunteers on race morning. Let us know if you are willing to be a Captain for Nunber Pick-Up.
