Support Your Local Race!

Every year, dozens of volunteers gear up to sponsor a running race/ event.  Their free time spent choosing a charity, finding sponsors, ensuring safety, arranging timing, space, hydration and so many logistics.  Why would anyone do this?

For many of us, there is a joy from the community formed by our common interest.  Friends are made, other grow closer and finally, there is a shared experience that draws us in.  It is great to see that new runner experience it for the first time and know you had a hand in it.

Our club is no different.  We have organized 5-ks, virtual races, challenges and more. I suspect in 2022 we are launching another one. Until then, look for joining a race in a new way! 

For every race, consider taking on one of these roles:

• Sponsors - contact organizers, board member for forms, levels, etc.

• Volunteer - same, just reach out. For our club or others, this is invaluable.

• Runners - you know you want to! Ask organizers about roles where you can volunteer AND run.

Every organized run needs sign-ups early, so do that. They need estimates for attendance, volunteers, cash, etc. to make it happen. Being a lead sponsor really provides fuel for the fun. 

Not convinced yet? Then share the load by signing up to bring water for our club on our Saturday run one time as a test!
