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 2013 - 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.
