Description: Before the first runner arrives at the start, we will need about 6 to 10 people to help with course set up. This entails setting up cones, signs, marking the course at critical points along the entire route. We will also need volunteers to retrieve cones, signs etc. post race.

Aid Stations

The Captain will be responsible for coordinating his/her people, setting up and organizing aid station, picking up and delivering supplies to the station on Race Day. (Tables and Water will be delivered and picked up by marathon staff)


Aid station volunteers: will need to keep the tables full of cups of fluid, mix the PowerAde, hand the cups to the runners that take them, allow other runners to get their own cups from the tables, shout words of encouragement, and assist participants, as requested. Personnel at each aid station will be responsible for picking up the trash around the general area of the station during and after the race.


We also need two pickups and 4 people to distribute and retrieve the tables and water to the aid stations on race day.
