Mandatory Volunteer Training and explanation of assignments Sunday, February TBD, 2019 4:00-5:00 PM at the
Dreher Park, 1301 Summit Blvd south of Palm Beach Zoo, Main Pavilion. This is so you are informed before the race where to report on race day.
CHECK IN AT THE VOLUNTEER BOOTH AT THE MAIN PAVILION-otherwise we don’t know you area is covered. And Check out when you leave for your community service hours and credit for your school. PLEASE READ THIS FORM.
(Volunteers are positioned strategically along the race route to show the way for the runners-look for labeled signs in the road)
YOU ARE Encouraged to wear a costume of an artist or musician or dancer-some fun theme- sports, Hawaii, 50’s, 80’s. etc.
You should encourage the runners by telling them thank you. Don’t say to them, you’re almost done, etc. Say THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING THE ARTS. That is our message.
Let them know which way to run from your station especially if you are located at a turning area.
You are also there in case someone needs help in any way or gets hurt. You need to call cell phone number: 561-329-9455 if an emergency arises.
You are also encouraged to bring your iPhone or camera to take photos of people as they pass by, don’t ask them to stop for a photo. If they do stop, fine. The Color Runners/Walkers are more likely to do that than the timed runners. There will be a laptop at the pavilion to upload your photos to our website to show how much fun we have at our event.
If your station is on the north side of the water station area, once the last of the timed 5K runners have passed, then you can start making your way back to the south pavilion area to cheer on Color Me Fun Run finishers.
If your station is on the north side, but south of the water station area, you need to remain in place to cheer on the Color Me Runners and be there for them.
If you are performing, play as much as you can especially when there are crowds of people. There will be times when no one is coming by and you can break. At that point you need to again thank them for coming out to support the arts!
COLOR RUN COLOR THROWERS:
Please don’t over use the colored powder as we have averaged the amount for the number of runners registered. Use the canister provided to put the color in and spray it by forcing the powder through the plastic top.
Be careful not to throw directly in the eyes of people, too. Nothing above the shoulders!!!
Have fun, but also think about what you are doing. ☺ We want this to be fun!!
