VOLUNTEER SIGN UP
Eligibility
The Richmond Road Runners Club has minimum age requirements for volunteers in specific tasks. If you volunteer for a task with a minimum age requirement, you may not be accompanied by a child(ren) under 12. This is for the safety of your child and everyone else at the race. We need you to be able to focus on your volunteer duties. There are no exceptions. If you arrive on race day with a child(ren) under age 12, you will be told that you cannot serve as a volunteer and will not earn Grand Prix points for that event.
Richmond Road Runners Club's Volunteer Code of Conduct
