Details

Volunteers assisting as course monitors will be helping with one of the most important tasks of the evening: directing the participants along the race course. Volunteers who are under 18 and assigned to this role will be placed in pairs with an adult along the route to cheer on the runners and walkers and staff the water stations. Training will be provided on race night.

Please be mindful of which shift you sign up for and any other commitments you may have on race night. Due to the nature of the course in the Baylands, it is not possible to leave early. Depending on where you are stationed you will not be able to leave until picked up by our staff between 9:15 and 9:45 and returned to the volunteer check-in tent.

You will be provided with a race t-shirt and a safety vest, plus a lanyard with key personnel contact phone numbers. Bring your charged cell phone, a warm jacket and a flashlight.

Minimum age is 15 years old or 10th grade.

Location

Check-in at the Volunteer Check-in tent at the corner of Embarcadero Rd and Faber Place (across from the Honda dealership.)

Registered course monitor volunteers will be emailed a parking pass for the lot at Embarcadero and Faber. Show the pass to the police at the barricade on Embarcadero Rd.
