I would like to volunteer. Who do I contact?
An event of this proportion requires many volunteers. If you would like to help, please contact race directors Heidi Ryan or Karen Lozano at info@modestomarathon.com.
Where can I pick up my volunteer instructions and volunteer packet?
Come to the race Expo and there will be a volunteer booth in the lobby with all your volunteer information. Your volunteer coordinator may coordinate with you prior to the Expo if necessary.
What should I wear?
If working outside, please make sure to wear layers as the weather is changeable this time of year.
What about food?
It is best to bring a snack or lunch given the need for flexibility in assignments. Although we will provide you with a food coupon you may not be able to leave your position until after your shift.
Can I secure my valuables while I work as a volunteer?
Since there are many areas needed in assigning volunteers we cannot guarantee a secure storage area.
How do I join the In-Shape Pace Team
