Description

Thank you for your interest in volunteering to help us with the FIRST annual - "Run the Redline" 5k Run/3K Roll or Stroll! This will be an educational event that traces a portion of the infamous 'redline' that helped segregate Syracuse. "Redlining" maps deprived Syracuse's most racially integrated neighborhoods of opportunity, and their effects can still be felt today. 

In the early morning we'll need volunteers to help with the tasks related to set up and registration - more details below! The race will begin at 9 AM in front of the War Memorial on S. State St. 

Please indicate which role you're most interested in as a note when you respond to the need.

  1. Pre Race Set Up (12 - 16 Volunteers): Volunteers will help with event set up: Registration Tables, Tents, Food & Snack tables, Water
    Distribution, coolers, displays, sanitation stations, etc.
  2. Registration/Race Packet Distribution (6-8 Volunteers):
    1. Team 1 - Those working pre-registration will hand out the previously prepared packet that belongs to that participant.
    2. Team 2 - Those working race day registration will hand out the packets based on T-shirt
      size. Mark name on sheet to show that packet has been picked up.
  3. Shirt Sellers/ Information Desk/ Help Desk (3-6 Volunteers): Assist attendees with any registration changes, shirt sizes, directions, troubleshooting, etc.
