Welcome volunteers at Bay Street Park, confirm assignments, and help the race crew direct people to their work areas.

Support finish operations and help celebrate participants as they complete their event.

Plan ahead: Arrive at least 15 minutes before the posted shift unless your assignment gives an earlier arrival time. Detailed instructions are provided through RunSignup and race-week communication.

How It Works

Three simple steps.

Every person registers separately. You do not need to belong to a group to volunteer. If you do represent a group, use the exact same organization name during registration so completed shifts can be credited correctly.

01

Register Online

Complete an individual RunSignup volunteer registration and select an available assignment and shift.

02

Name Your Group—If You Have One

Group participation is optional. If you volunteer with an organization, enter its consistent group name. Volunteering on your own? Leave the group field blank.

03

Complete Your Shift

Arrive on time, check in, remain for the full assignment, and check out with your coordinator.

Group Donation Program

Volunteer together. Earn support.

Large groups help fill essential positions and may qualify for an organizational donation after all program requirements are completed and verified.

6-Shift MinimumEligibility begins when a team or organization completes at least six volunteer shifts.
$15 Per ShiftEach properly registered and completed shift adds $15 toward the group's donation calculation.
$250–$1,500The event allocates group donations within this range to participating organizations.
4–6 WeeksChecks are mailed after volunteer hours and all requirements have been verified.

Important: This program provides donations to qualifying groups—not wages or individual volunteer payments. A shift may be excluded if the volunteer does not register correctly, arrive on time, complete the full assignment, or check in and out.

Join the race crew.

Choose your preferred assignment on RunSignup. Availability updates as positions fill, so register each volunteer separately and secure the shifts that work for your team.
