🚨 Volunteers Needed for the River Trail 15K! πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸŽ‰πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ

The River Trail 15K is this weekend - May 23- and this race is powered completely by our incredible local running community. With a record number of runners expected this year, we need a few more awesome volunteers to help make race day unforgettable!

Whether you’re a runner taking the weekend off, a friend of the sport, or just someone who loves good energy and community vibes, we’d love to have you join us.

Volunteer Opportunities
πŸ“ Course MarshalsοΏ½Be the MVPs of the course! With a little construction along parts of the route this year, we need volunteers at key turns to point runners in the right direction, cheer loudly, and keep the energy high. Cowbells will be provided, but other creative cheering is highly encouraged.

πŸ… Finish Line Medal CrewοΏ½For the FIRST TIME in race history, every finisher will receive a medal! Help hand out some well-earned hardware and celebrate runners as they cross the finish line. If you love high-fives, smiles, and emotional finish-line moments, this is your spot.

🍌 Finish Line Food & Hospitality�Help set up the post-race celebration area and keep runners fueled after their big effort. This is the perfect role if you enjoy being in the middle of the finish-line excitement.

Race Morning Details
Volunteers should arrive by 7:00 AM to receive assignments and head to their locations. Course Marshals will head out immediately, while Finish Line volunteers will begin setup as runners take off at 7:30 AM. Volunteers should be done when the awards begin around 9:30, but maybe a little earlier.

Sign up here: https://forms.gle/CvYTBtMiwnDe5gZL6

Please sign up before the end of day Thursday.

Come be part of one of the best race mornings of the year β€” and help create an amazing experience for every runner who shows up at the starting line! πŸ™Œ
