Details
If you enjoy good music, crowds of all ages, and cheering people on, then this is your position! Walking among participants at the start/finish areas, you will hold “picket” signs and help verbally direct participant flow before and after the race. This position is literally in the middle of the action and offers a great view of the Valparaiso Turkey Trot from start to finish! Your signs and verbal directions help keep participants safe and moving. Before the race begins, hold “pace” signs at the start line or “stroller/no dogs” signs among walkers toward the back. After the race has started, direct finishing participants to the “Finisher Zone” for water, food, and medals. Be prepared to hold signs, yell directions, check in with runners/walkers that might need assistance, or help over at the Finisher Zone if needed. Dress WARMLY (winter coat, hat, gloves) and be prepared to stand for long periods of time.
