Details

Positions are marked on the course map.

Runners pass by the volunteers in alphabetical order. Positions A, B & G have runners pass twice.A & B - the course overlaps, so these monitors need to stay in place until the last runner/walker/sweeper passes a second time. The first pass is approximately 0.5 miles & the second pass is approximately 2.3 miles. These positions have double arrows to show the two passes.

C - Approx 0.8 miles. This is the spot where the spectator/coaches path intersects the path, so there is shorter grass to the runners left and right.

D - Approx 1.1 mile. The intersection between the 3k & 5k/8k/10k courses.

E - Approx 1.8 miles. A 180° turn in the course with the coaches path connecting to the west.

The vehicle should have two people in it so the driver can focus on the road and the observer can focus on the runners and route.

After leading the winner through the course, you'll be a course monitor in the finish area congratulating them on their finish, pointing them to water and post-race snacks and call the RD or volunteer coordinator for first aid assistance.
