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 late morning we'll need volunteers to help with the tasks related to water/snack distribution and post race/display set up - more details below! The race will begin at 9 AM in front of the War Memorial on S. State St., so please be cautious of parking because there will be several road closures.

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

  1. Shirt Sellers/ Information Desk/ Help Desk (3-6 Volunteers): Assist attendees with any registration changes, shirt sizes, directions, troubleshooting, etc.
  2. Water & Snack Distribution / Aid Station (4 - 6 Volunteers): Post race volunteers to make sure participants have water fruit and snacks. Keep an eye out for anyone who might need medical attention.
