From serving chocolate to sorting bags, there is an option for everyone!
As a bike marshal, you will be leading a corral of race participants through the course. Before the run you will meet with our start line manager for last minute instructions – if time permits you are welcome to do a final course ride. 
Feel the energy out on the course! Volunteers will be stationed at various locations along the course to ensure the safety of participants and spectators. Cheering and enthusiasm are strongly encouraged to motivate participants and increase the fun!

*Individuals should be at least 18 years old.*
Volunteers in this area will be working in the main chocolate tent, distributing the chocolate fondue and hot chocolate.

PLEASE NOTE: Volunteers are required to have their hair tied back or covered by a hat - if not, hair nets will be provided on site! 
As a volunteer at the merchandise tent, you will be helping run the merchandise tent alongside our staff, and assisting customers who purchase Hot Chocolate gear.
As a volunteer at Gear Check, you will be assisting with collecting, organizing, and returning gear to Race participants before and after the run.  
The volunteers in this area will be assigned to a corral helping to organize race participants. Once the corrals open you will be directing participants into their corral, or helping to keep corrals separate and organized.
Celebrate and congratulate thousands of runners as they cross the Finish Line of America's Sweetest Run! Volunteers will distribute a variety of different items including finisher medals, sports drinks, and water in the runner refreshment area.
