Details

Volunteers assisting as course monitors will be helping with one of the most important tasks of the evening: directing the participants along the race course. Volunteers who are under 18 and assigned to this role will be placed in pairs with an adult along the route to cheer on the runners and walkers and staff the water stations.

You will be provided with a race t-shirt and a safety vest, plus a lanyard with key personnel contact phone numbers. Bring your charged cell phone, a warm jacket and a flashlight.
