A race is nothing without volunteers. Let's put the 1980's music on, roll the windows down, and hit the highway!
You'll soon realize volunteers and spectators become your angels on earth during a race! So, I think we should give back. We are taking a road trip.
We have the opportunity to volunteer at one of the following marathons:
Glass City Marathon in Toledo
Sunday, April 26, 2009

Cincinnati Flying Pig Marathon
Sunday, May 3, 2009
http://www.flyingpigmarathon.com/volunteers/advertiseneeds.shtml
You'll get to see the "flow" of a marathon before your big race in CLEVELAND!!! Also, this gives us an opportunity to say, "thank you" for all the people that will be supporting us when we run. Basically, we are paying if forward!
Are any of you interested? Transportation and food details will be handled. We would leave early Sunday, volunteer at race, drive back!

I'm in!!! sounds like a great opportunity!!would love to do it. any date works for me since were doing it in 1 day . let me know details.
ReplyDeleteI heard the Flying Pig Marathon is hilarious. I guess people dress up like pigs.
ReplyDeleteI just heard back from the Flying Pig volunteer coordinator. She can definatelly use us. The only problem...the race starts at 6:30. The volunteers have to arrive 5:00. So, we'd have to leave around 1:00-2:00 am.
ReplyDeleteI'm checking with the Toledo Marathon coordinator. It would take us about 2 1/2 hours to get there. The race doesn't start until 8:00...so this might be our best bet. I'm adding a link regarding our volunteer options for this marathon.
