Volunteer

Welcome to the DC Road Runners Club volunteer page.

We are always looking for volunteers for race directors, training, mid- and post-run beverages, and many other positions.

 

Volunteers are always needed to ensure that our club races are successful.  There are always opportunities to volunteer before the race assisting with registration and course set up as well as after the race helping with course tear down and awards and clean up.

Saturday Long Run

Constant Needs!

We are always looking for Saturday Long Run refreshment volunteers. If you plan to attend SLR for at least 2 consecutive weeks, and haven't volunteered in a while (or at all), please consider helping to support the group (and yourself)! This is a fairly easy job, all you have to do is bring gatorade, water, and cups to SLR on Saturday morning, and the club will reimburse the expenses (think of all the rewards points you can get!) Please (read: please, please, pretty please) check the SLR Page for dates needed, and e-mail slr@dcroadrunners.orgif you are able to help out!
