Volunteers
Races don't happen
without the generous support of volunteers. Help is needed at all
races. Volunteers will receive a free entry into another Runuphill
Racing race.
The type of help includes:
- Aid Stations
- Course Marshals
- Finish Line
- Registration
- Parking
No experience is needed. It's easy and fun. It's a great way to give
back to the sport. It's also a way to be part of a fun event without
having to race, for example, when you're injured. |
