Get involved. Let's count the ways!
From several sponsorship levels and volunteer options to cheer zones, there are plenty of ways for everyone to take part in the race weekend!
VOLUNTEER
Want to lend a hand to an exciting, awesome event that directly impacts our community? Great, we’d love to have you on the team! It takes all kinds of volunteers to help our event run (get it?) smoothly, but below are a few volunteer gigs that we are always on the lookout for help with:
AID STATIONS
COURSE
PACKET PICKUP
Welcome to our VolRUNteer FAQs!
Where do I sign up? click VOLUNTEER button above!
Why do I need to create an account with Race Roster to volunteer?
Race Roster is a simple organizational tool that collects all important information about you in one place for our race organizers.
How long will my shift be?
For the Friday evening 5K, the shift will run 5:30p – 8 pm(ish). For Saturday morning’s 10K/10M, the shift runs 6 am – 9:30 am(ish). If you are working packet pickup/registration, we have Thursday (evening), Friday (day) and Saturday (before the sunrise) shifts available. Exact times will be listed within our sign-up portal.
What should I wear that day?
Depending upon your role, you will be issued an exclusive VolRUNteer shirt (unisex sizing). A highly visible color has been selected so that you will stand out among the crowd. Please make sure you wear this shirt during your shift and that it is visible, should you need to dress in layers.
Can I receive credit for these volunteer hours for my school?
Absolutely! Just bring whatever you need signing for our volunteer coordinator to sign off on.
How do I know what I have been assigned to do?
We try our best to accommodate your request, so watch for our “emails of details”.
Please plan to CHECK IN with us at See Dick Run either Thursday evening or Friday morning to receive your assignment and your AWESOME VolRUNteer shirt!
Thursday 5-7 pm (preferred time so everything is set by race time)
Friday 11am-5 pm
Where is See Dick Run located? 28 N 3rd Street, Grand Forks, ND
