Get Involved

A well organized race requires a team of great volunteers. Volunteers are responsible for things such as race packet pick-up, marking the course, starting the race on time, directing traffic and runners, keeping the runners hydrated on the course, manning the finish line, and cleaning up after the race. Volunteers are the backbone of any race and your assistance is critical. Volunteering doesn't take much time, so please consider volunteering for one of Second Wind's races. You will earn 50 points towards Build a Better Second Wind and you could win great prizes from Body n' Sole at the January banquet. In addition, if you volunteer at one of the races, you will receive a free Second Wind technical shirt at the awards banquet.

Volunteers are need for the finish line at the following races. Please contact Joe Bails if you can help.
