V is for Volunteering

If you are interested in being added to the notification list for volunteer opportunitites, simply send an email to Beverly Pickens and let her know if you want to be on the weekly list or the special event list. Each week, a call for volunteers is sent out and you are asked to respond if you can work a particular event. Then the day before the event, the job list is sent out. For each race you earn 10 Volunteer Points which gives you an entry into a monthly drawing for prizes and other goodies.

We would love to have you!

Other ways of "giving something back" to the running community include working on special projects, serving on a committee, or serving in an office.  If you're interested in helping, contact Beverly Pickens.

Volunteer Points

As you know, MRTC is a non-profit organization made up solely of unpaid volunteers (with the exception of an administrative secretary who receives a very minimal salary).  Our goal is to promote running in as many various ways as possible.  Administering the finish lines at races is one of these ways. Sometimes, this takes only a handful of volunteers and sometimes, it takes many more, depending on the size of the race. 

Anyone who volunteers at a MRTC administered race or other volunteer functions associated with the MRTC will receive 10 volunteer points.   At the Holiday Party in January, we will have a drawing for many nice door prizes.  You do not have to be present to win.  In addition to the above information, the MRTC members with the most volunteer points at the end of the year will receive a gift, which is our way of saying "thank you" for making it happen.
