Volunteer
This race happens because of volunteers. Aid stations don’t staff themselves, and neither do the course marshals. If you have a few hours to give on Saturday or Sunday, we would love your help.
Volunteer perks. Volunteers receive a shirt, lunch, a $10 Phoenicia
Diner gift card, and a $20 discount on next year’s entry if they choose to run.
Three-time volunteers get free race entry for life.
