Volunteer
We need our Valuable Volunteers for all of our races.
The Say No To Drugs Race is successful because of our dedicated Volunteers. You can help! On race say, you can register Runners, distribute t-shirts, or be a course guide, hand out Goodie Bags, serve pancakes, meet the stars and more. All Volunteers Must be 14 years of age or older.
Volunteers are an integral part in making our events successful. Volunteers make a difference. Volunteers get a chance to view a race from a different perspective. It's exciting and fun! Most important, you will feel a sense of accomplishment in doing something good.
All volunteers will receive a Say No To Drugs Race t-shirt and pass to the Expo Area events.
