Race Volunteers

Hello RMEC!  We are looking for some help from our club members (and website lurkers).  There are several races coming up where volunteers are needed.  As a person who participates in local racing, you really should find at least one race a year to "pay it back" to the running community by volunteering.  Of course you can pick any race, but here are some options we hope you will consider:

Raleigh 8000: 
This race is now just 10 days away.  I realize it is in Raleigh, so I know it is difficult for the RMEC to help.  If you can, we would love your help:

• Wed 8/24 - We are stuffing packets at the Sawmill Tap Room from 6:00 pm until 8:00 pm.
• Friday 8/26 - We are doing packet pickup at Sawmill Tap Room from 11:00 am until 9:00 pm
• Saturday 8/27 - We still need about a dozen volunteers on race day.

If you would prefer to run, please do.  I think this will be a fun first-time event, and am still try to get a last week boost of runners.

Golf Club at Rocky Mount 5k & 10k:
This is an RMEC event, and one of the easiest options to volunteer at.  It is local, it is a short race, and it is on a self contained race course.  You will be done in time to still grab a breakfast biscuit on the way to your football game.

• Thursday 9/8 - We are stuffing packets at the RBC Building from 5:00 pm until 7:00 pm
• Friday 9/9 - We are doing packet pick locally (TBD) from 11:00 am until 6:00 pm
• Saturday 9/10 - Counting Scott and Michael we have four volunteers signed up so far.

I also strongly encourage you to bring your kids for the Fun Run.  This is an extremely family friendly event.  It is safe and the kids run is first.  We would love to have 50 kids show up this year.  For $10 they get a race shirt, dog tag medal, and post race food.  Cant beat that price!

Medoc Trail Races:
This is the signature event of the RMEC.  One of the main reasons people love this race so much is the volunteers.  You can read the race reviews to confirm this.  Our volunteers are smart, friendly and fun.  This is a challenging race to cover from a volunteer standpoint.  We honestly need people to sign up early so we can coordinate the details.  If you are not running, please support the RMEC and volunteer.

• TBD - We are stuffing packets at the RBC Building not sure when.
• Friday 10/14 - Course Setup (all day) & Packet Pickup 4:00 - 8:00 pm at Medoc
• Saturday 10/15 - We will take as many hours as you can give.

Medoc really is a blast yo volunteer at.  It can make for a long morning, but you will be so glad you did.  Just ask past Medoc volunteers and they will confirm this.  Plus you can a free entry in the Medoc Rerun.

You can sign up online at all three races to volunteer.  Please help us out.  With 70 members and 200+ Facebook fans we should be able to knock the ball out of the park!  Thanks everyone!
