Contact us here if you’d like to be a race volunteer or are associated with a charity, non-profit, or community organization that would like to volunteer.
All volunteers must be registered to help with our event no later than one week before the race date. This allows time for us to delegate assistance to our areas of need. If you can no longer volunteer after registering to help, please let us know by e-mailing support@runforyourlives.com.
