Umstead Marathon Volunteers

RE-POSTED TO ENCOURAGE MORE INVOLVEMENT

Okay RMEC, we need your help! Frank, Scott, Dave, and Michael are all entered in the Umstead Trail Marathon. This annual event is put on by the Carolina Godiva Track Club (CGTC) in William B. Umstead State Park located in Raleigh.

The Godiva Track Club was one of the first sites to list the Medoc Trail Races, and also sent lots of talented runners to participate in our inaugural event. We would like to show our thanks and general support of the running community by volunteering at an aid station for the March 7th race.

This will be a fun thing to do, and I really hope the RMEC will step up to help.

1. You get to cheer for four our your RMEC teammates in the race.
2. You get to experience a beautiful park, and see some of the top trail runners in the state (not us).
3. The race starts at 9:00 am, so you don't need to get up too early.
4. You can help us promote Medoc by wearing your race shirts!
5. You get food and all the Gatorade you can drink!
6. You can have a nice afternoon in Raleigh after the race.

This seriously is a big deal for us that work on Medoc. This is a great opportunity to promote our race while helping another one out. Never forget that you are able to race, because someone else is not. . . it takes volunteers!

Please post a comment ASAP if you will volunteer. I need to let the race committee know how many we will bring. Thank you in advance!

UPDATE: We have been assigned one aid station that has fluids and food. It is at mile 10 and 19.5. You do not need to be there until 9:30 am, and there is easy parking. The first runners will arrive at mile 10 around 10:00 a.m. The last runner must be at mile 19.5 by 1:50 pm or they will miss the cut off. Although there are only 200 runners, you will have a steady stream the entire time you volunteer, so you will not be bored.
