Our celebratory 5K is coming up on Sunday November 19th and we are looking for volunteers to help make the magic happen. We have volunteer roles for everyone, regardless of age, gender, or running capability. If you are interested and available, please register at https://www.raceplanner.com/register/index/7QP47GAWBG5VM3I
Set-Up Crew - Sunday, November 19th, 7:00am – 8:30am
If you have a lot of energy, and would like to volunteer BEFORE completing the 5K, this job is for you! Join the GOTR staff as one of the first people to arrive at the 5K site and help set up the start/finish and staging areas. Then, join your GOTR girl for the 5K! Must be 18 years or older.
Post-Race Refreshments - Sunday, November 19th, 8:00am – 10:30am
The PRR crew will set up the post-5K refreshments in the start/finish chute prior to the start of the 5K. Once the participants depart, the refreshments (and tables) will be repositioned inside the chute and ready when the finishers arrive. After the 5K you will assist in cleaning up the food area. Must be 18 years or older.
Finish Line Monitors - Sunday, November 19th, 8:00am - 10:30am
Cheer on the girls as they finish the 5K, while acting as course security. This volunteer role will be very fun, but you will also need to be able to keep the finish area clear, which will require a firm, loud voice. Must be 18 years or older.
Course Marshals - Sunday, November 19th, 7:30am - 10:00am
Help keep participants on course and motivated! Course marshals play a very important role in the production of the 5K. Volunteers must be punctual, upbeat, and ready to serve rain or shine! You will need to remain at your post until the last runner/walker passes.
Happy Hair Volunteers - Sunday, November 19th, 7:30am - 10:00am
Help girls GOTR-ize before the race with colored hair spray! Warning – this is a really fun but messy job! Must be 16 years or older.
Safety Runners/Walkers - Sunday, November 19th, 8:00am - 10:00am
Run or walk in the Girls on the Run 5K and be on the lookout for girls in need of assistance. Provide encouragement to girls on the course and reinforcement to girls who may have become separated from their Buddies. All safety runners will complete an online background check, at no expense, prior to 5K day. Must be 18 years or older.
Cheer Station - Sunday, November 19th, 8:00am - 10:00am
Cheer on the girls as they complete our 5K. No age restrictions- just come prepared to be an enthusiastic spectator along the course!
