Volunteer Incentive Program
The Charlottesville Track Club (CTC), who puts on the Charlottesville Ten Miler, is an all-volunteer organization. Every year over 400 race volunteers make this race possible! The Charlottesville Track Club (CTC) values every volunteer and their contributions. We've reinstated our Volunteer Incentive Program to show our appreciation for your time. Learn more about the program here.
If you're running the race and want to help out, there's an opportunity to help with packet pick-up the day before the race as well. Sign up to volunteer here! (Volunteer sign-ups will open in early 2025.)
Bag check
New for 2025! We will offer a safe place to check and store a bag before the race. Volunteers will be staffing U-Haul rental vans in the 2nd level of the stadium garage (near Bryant Hall). Convenient for drop off before the race, and close to the finish line when you finish your race. Pick up a drawstring bag at packet pickup (we'll also have them at the trucks). A volunteer will write your bib number on the bag and store it safely for you in the truck. Show your bib when you finish the race to claim your bag.
