To be stationed at the entrance to the CHKD (601 Childrens Lane), will help guide our runners to registration and packet pick-up. As our Race Ambassadors, you will be stocked with maps and info to help answer questions, provide directions, and happily get people where they need to go.  
   
COURSE MARSHALLS
 
You'll spread out over the entire course, help set-up barricades and cones, and monitor turns and intersections. You will direct runners so that they stay on course, keeping cars off the course, and generally keep the course safe for the duration of the event.
 
   
WATER STATION
 
You will fill and hand out cups of water to runners as they run by. After runners go by, you will clean up the station by raking up cups and filling trash bags.

POST-RACE REFRESHMENTS

RACE SET-UP AND TEAR-DOWN
