Your Participation Matters!
Did you know that over 400 dedicated volunteers support the Wendell Foster Half Marathon & 5K? We’re incredibly grateful for their countless hours and unwavering commitment—this event wouldn’t be possible without them!
There are numerous ways to volunteer prior to and on race day, and we’d be thrilled to have you!

Pre-Race
Opportunities
Can’t help on race day? You can still make an impact! We need volunteers in the weeks leading up to the race for tasks like assembling runner materials, making signs, passing out flyers, and assisting with setup.

Race Weekend
Support
Join us on race weekend to help with runner check-in, course monitoring, finish line support, and more. Perfect for individuals or groups who want a hands-on role in making race day possible.

Course
Entertainment
Bring the course to life by gathering your group, band, or club to cheer, play music, and encourage participants along the way. Whether it’s Mile 1 or Mile 13, your energy can give participants the boost they need to keep going!

Water Station
Showdown
Bring your group’s creativity to a water stop, decorate your station, and cheer for runners while keeping them hydrated. Compete for prizes and bragging rights!
