Road Marshalls High Priority

August 9, 2025

Details

Please meet outside the front entrance of the LECOM Wellness Center (do not block doors) at 8:00 AM. We will go over instructions together. Yellow reflective vests will be distributed to all Road Marshalls. Please return these vests at the conclusion of the event.

Refer to the “Road Marshall Placement” map that will be sent via email closer to race day. On the sign-up sheet you have a number or letter next to your name, 1-21 or A-E. These numbers/letter indicate where you will be stationed on the course. Please familiarize yourself with the course and the direction you are to send the racers in! Those who are farther out on the course may drive to your designated spot, but please try to park on a side road nearby that isn’t directly on the course. Once the ambulance passes by your designated spot and an event coordinator assures you that every participant has passed by, you are relieved of your Road Marshall duties. Your duties should conclude around 10:30 AM.

Water Station #1 High Priority

August 9, 2025

Details

Please meet outside the front entrance of the LECOM Wellness Center (do not block doors). We will go over instructions together.

Tables will be set up at the station. A large water cooler, cups, water jugs, and trash bags will be at each station.

At 8:30 begin filling water cups up and place as many cups as you can on the table. Replenish as you hand them out. As walkers/runner pass by, hold out a cup for them to grab. They likely will continue running with the cup and throw it on the ground when done.

Pick up cups and throw them away. When all runners are done (an ambulance will be behind the last person following them in on the 5K course and will let you know it’s the last one) clean up all cups, tie up garbage bags. A truck will come through to pick up the tables, water jugs and garbage at the end. The race should conclude by 10:30 AM.
