Volunteer!!!

We expect over 3,000 athletes from around the country to compete in this year’s Full Marathon (26.2 miles) and Half Marathon (13.1 miles). In our effort each year to improve the quality and experience of this event your continued volunteer support is vital. The expansive running course creates a tremendous demand for volunteers both at registration and on the course. Runners appreciate the support and smiling faces of every volunteer by cheering them on throughout their entire experience. All volunteers will receive a marathon long sleeve staff shirt, snack and beverage service, and preferred parking. This is a lifetime achievement for many runners and they rely on your support and encouragement to finish the course!
