iTRI365 Timing & Event Production Company is looking for volunteers for the 7th Annual Freedom Fighter 5K & Lil' Firecracker Kid's Dash!
This year, like the others in the past, a portion of the proceeds benefits Boot Campaign, a 501c3 non-profit organization with the mission "To unite Americans to honor and restore the lives of Veterans and military families through individualized, life-improving programs."
iTRI365 is a small business, but we still like to do big things in our community. In order to make the most positive impact possible, we are seeking volunteers for assistance with jobs ranging from course monitoring and safety, set-up and tear down, to race swag distribution! The most important of which being the course assignments: flaggers and aid station workers. More information on each job posting can be found on the link below.

*Custom links can be created for organizations on request! This will help ensure that groups are assigned to jobs together!* 😁
Highlight on Flaggers & Aid Station Workers: Flaggers are there to cheer on the runners and to be conspicuous on the course to help keep motorists aware of the event in progress. Be as lively as you want! Some make posters and some play music (keep in mind this is a family-friendly event 😉) - you make your station yours. A simple smile and clap works, too! Aid station workers will have a table setup along the 5K course - you will offer water to anyone that needs it on course. Running in July in Texas is no joke - so this job is IMPERATIVE! Don't worry - we provide all the materials. We just need YOU!
