Route Attendants | Arrival time scattered, will be between 7 AM - 7:45 AM
As a Route Attendant, you’ll help guide and cheer on participants along the 5K course by monitoring a designated intersection. You’ll receive a brief training video ahead of time to help you feel confident and prepared. This year, we’re assigning two volunteers to each side of every intersection, so feel free to sign up with a friend and request the same spot! Please note: you’ll be expected to walk or drive yourself to your assigned intersection. Volunteers will be dismissed around 10:00 AM once the last participants have passed through.
