Chad’s Day for Change Urban Trail Race

First off, thank you so much for giving your time to Chad's Day for Change. We're so very passionate about this race, and we appreciate your passion as well. The majority of volunteers will be needed on race day, August 9. The first volunteer shifts will be starting at 6am, pre running the legs, making sure the flags are in order from the flagging the day prior. The last shifts will likely end at 7pm, with sweeps and removing flags and tape, start/finish teardown, packup etc. The bulk of the volunteers needed will be 8-4 at start/finish, aid stations and course marshals. We're looking for a few bodies the day before and the day after for marking the course and making sure we've removed every trace of the event on the Sunday.

Please let us know your preferred volunteer position, the times you are available and if there is someone you want to be grouped with. Feel free to grab a friend to register for the same post. If you want, tell us about your strengths, passions, star signs, favorite number, color, song, ok maybe that's a little much but you get the idea.

WE APPRECIATE YOU, and all volunteers will receive SUPER COOL Race Crew SWAG!

Lastly, a few of Chad's family have reached out to volunteer for this event, which absolutely means the world. Please if you are family or close friends of Chad that I don't know make sure you mention that as I will be doing my best to keep you guys together to get the most of the event.

Thank you again, so much,

Celeste
