Run, Remember, Rebuild. Volunteer at the 2015 Joplin Memorial Half

Save to Favorites

The Joplin Memorial Half was created as a way to honor the 161 people who lost their lives in the May 22nd, 2011 tornado and to provide hope to the Joplin community while at the same time staging a first class event that runners will come back for again and again.

There will be multiple events associated with the Joplin Memorial Half on Friday, May 15th and Saturday May 16th, 2015, including a Walk of Silence, Kid's Run, 5K, and the Half Marathon.

We need lots of help in different areas, from setup and tear down of race and race-related events, race packet pick-up areas, assisting to direct racers on the course, and help at the finish line and post-race party. Volunteers can choose in which area they would like to help and for which shift or time-frame.

Some volunteer shifts include a free lunch or dinner and ALL volunteers get a free T-Shirt!

Volunteers of all ages are welcome, but volunteers aged 16 and under must be accompanied by an adult.

Volunteer registration is on our website: joplinmemorialhalf.com (Get Involved).
