Post-Race Water Station Volunteer

Help keep our runners refreshed after the run/walk. Volunteers will prepare and distribute cups of water to participants at the Vets Memorial afterparty. (Yep, its indoors!)

Tasks include:

• Prepare cups of water throughout the event.
• Hand water to runners and participants.
• Keep the water station stocked and organized.
• Help with light cleanup as needed.

• Cheer loudly and enthusiastically for every participant! Your encouragement helps make the finish-line experience memorable.
• Welcome runners and walkers as they approach and cross the finish line.
• Help keep the finish clear so participants can safely cross the finish line.
• Direct participants through the finish area according to race-day instructions.
• Encourage participants to continue moving forward after crossing the finish line to prevent congestion.
• Assist with directing participants toward water, refreshments, or other designated areas.
• Distributing race medals to participants (Stay back from the finish line to allow runners to pass through before distributing medals.)

5K Route Final Sweep Team

Help us close out the 5K course! Final Sweep Team volunteers will travel the entire race route, following the last participant(s) and serving as the final group through the course.

Volunteers will notify course marshals and other route volunteers as they pass that they are the final participants/group on the course and that they may begin packing up.

A great opportunity to experience the entire 5K course while helping us safely wrap up race day!
