Volunteer for the 2013 RunWild Marathon
Not quite ready to run a race, but still want to be involved? Volunteer!
RunWild volunteers take pride in their role within our races. Each of our events require dozens of dedicated volunteers to help ensure runners and spectators get the support they need throughout the day. We are deeply indebted to our volunteers for their commitment and support.
There are a wide variety of volunteer opportunities to choose from for every facet of the event. When you sign up to volunteer you can choose the role that interests you the most. Volunteers receive an event t-shirt and are eligible for exclusive volunteer draw prizes.
