Benefits of Volunteering
Team up with friends and family and make it an experience you won’t forget!
Post-Race Concert InformationPlease note that this year the free post-race concert will be held at 1:15pm on the day of the race, making it difficult for many volunteers to attend. The change in time is something our runners have asked for, and we are trying to make their experience as positive and enjoyable as possible. We know that many of you have enjoyed our concerts in the past, but hope that the added benefits will help make up for this change.
