We would absolutely love for you to volunteer and join the team on race weekend.  All volunteers will receive a race shirt and we'll make a donation to a cause of your choice when you sign up to volunteer.  Please click here to help!

If you're not able to officially volunteer on the course, please consider cheering on runners as they pass by your house.  Loud noise makers like cowbells are encouraged or maybe make a sign.  Don't worry about water stops, we've got that covered but runners love a little encouragement along the way.
