2026 East Coast Beast Coast

Thank you for your interest in volunteering for the East Coast Beast Coast. Your selfless act is pivotal in helping us pull off a stellar event for 250+ trail runners, their family and their friends. The volunteer duties are described below. If you have a preference, please register using the 'Volunteer now' button below. If you don't have a preference, you can use the "I don't care, put me wherever" option when registering. If a role is not showing in the dropdown list, it's because it is full. In the days leading up to the event, you will receive a "Volunteer Guide" that will detail your duties, and what to expect on race day.

The check-in is where the participants confirm that they are there, get their swag bag of goodies, and pickup their race bib. The check-in period is on Saturday, June 27 from 8:00am-9:30am.

Course Marshals are positioned at key spots along the route to show racers where to go, and give high fives! Music, signs, and noisemakers are highly encouraged!

You will be stationed at the start/finish, and have the prestigious role of awarding the medals to each finisher.

The folks at the start/finish help with all things happening at the start/finish. From general setup to aid station management to being the hype person, we can always use a few extra hands. If you are unable to commit to the full event + setup/teardown (7:00am to 12:30pm), please email your availability to saintjohntrailrunning@gmail.com.

As a token of our appreciation, you will be invited to a volunteer appreciation party at the end of the year/early next year, so we can celebrate you! Stay tuned for all the details.
