Race Course Officials

The Running Dead 5k – Dash and Bash is currently looking for reliable volunteers to help out as Course Officials on race day. These volunteers are stationed along the course and motivate runners to keep moving while setting the tone of a post-apocalyptic environment. They ensure that traffic flow on the obstacles is moving smoothly and that none of the participants use any physical interaction against another runner or zombie.

Although any individual or organization is encouraged to apply for a Course Official volunteer position, we greatly encourage applications from individuals with a military, law enforcement, ROTC, or EMS/medic background. Course Officials must be 18 years or older.

Race Course Officials will receive

• Snacks and water

• Free admittance to the Zombie Bash

• A Running Dead 5k – Dash and Bash volunteer t-shirt

• Free Exposure for the Group or Organization on therunningdead5k.com
