Help our runners stay safe and on course by volunteering as a race marshal! Race marshals will be positioned in groups along the 5K course to encourage and guide runners. In the case of an unexpected medical emergency, race marshals will be responsible for dialing 911. Race marshals will be expected to arrive at 7:00 am on race day so they can assist in setting up the running course by placing yard signs along the route.
