Volunteers Needed!

Hello RMEC. Hard to believe but the Sweetheart 5k is less then two weeks away. Registration is going well, but we are very short on volunteers right now. If you are not racing, I could really use your help at the event. Parks and Recreation does a fantastic job supporting this race, but their staff alone is not enough. We need volunteers for the following:

Friday:
  • Packet Pickup
Saturday 6:00-8:30
  • Course Setup (5:30)
  • General Setup (Food, Tables, Water, etc.)
  • Packet Pickup
  • Chip Distribution
  • Registration
Saturday 8:00 - 9:30
  • Course Marshall
  • Aid Station
  • Back-up Timer
  • Chip Removal
  • Finish Line Help
  • Food Tent

Saturday 9:30 - 11:00

  • Fun Run escort
  • Awards Distribution
  • Course pick up
  • Clean up
Coordinating volunteers is not as easy as it looks sometimes. We have been fortunate to get RMEC members who understand runners, and also have been willing to sacrifice some of their time to allow others to run. We really count on people like you to make our local races successful. If you our your spouse can help, please sign up online as a volunteer as soon as possible, so I can build the volunteer plan, and get you the right size shirt. Also, please post a comment here if there are some specific tasks that you can help with. Thank you!

    Packet pickup is 12-6 at Dental Care. I have a meeting in Raleigh so I will not be back in Rocky Mount until the afternoon. Any help would be great.
