How can I help? Before we
know it hundreds of men, women and children will be toeing up to the
starting line on Bellevue Street, the smell of candy canes and Ben Gay
will waft in the air, the sounds of jingle bells will accompany the rhythm
of 6 to 12 minute miles...
And (even more hopefully) many PRCers and their friend, family and loved
ones will be volunteering for the 12th annual Walter's Run
road race.
Yes, the Walter's Run is approaching fast. This year
the race will be run on Sunday, December 14th at 11am, with a Kid's race
run at 10:50. AS ALWAYS WE NEED AS MANY VOLUNTEERS AS POSSIBLE!!!
We need help before the race, setting things up, giving out race numbers
and
helping with our food table. During the race we need LOTS of help,
standing on the corners, directing runners, working with law enforcement
to direct traffic and cheering loudly. We'll also need help at our water
table, at our 1 and 2 mile check points and at the finish line. Afterwards
we need a few of you to commit to staying and cleaning up (although this
generally not a problem).
Those who volunteer before the race should be at the YMCA by 9am. Those
who volunteer during the race should be at the Y by 10am. PLUS ANY PRCer
WHO VOLUNTEERS WILL GET THEIR NAME THROWN IN THE HAT ONE EXTRA TIME FOR A
BOSTON MARATHON NUMBER!!!
I'm sure I don't need to tell you that the more people who volunteer the
better a chance the event will run smoothly and more people will come back
next year. Please let me know as soon as you can whether you can volunteer
and when you'll be able to do so (before, during or both).
Thanks in advance!
