Our Summer Series is made possible each year thanks to the help of dozens of wonderful volunteers. If you're participating as a runner, please thank them! If you're volunteering, we appreciate your support!

All volunteers get free admission into the after-party, free food, and two drink tickets. As a volunteer, you'll assist with something like number pickup, venue setup, registration, bag check, water stops, marshaling, food and beverage service, awards, and cleanup.

Volunteers will be sent an email with additional instructions 1-2 days before their volunteer shift.
