SoJo Marathon takes place October 21, 2017 and includes multiple races: Full and Half Marathon, 5K, Kids Fun, and a Bike Tour. There are multiple volunteer opportunities during the event. Our primary needs are volunteers to help with Aid Stations.
Aid Stations are placed along the Full and Half Marathon route to help support the runners. Volunteers will help set up their assigned aid station, which will include water and possibly food items as well. Aid stations are crucial for runners and really help bring the race to life.
Volunteers can have lots of fun, cheering and encouraging runners while handing out water and food support. Volunteers are also welcome to have a theme or dress up their station or turn on motivating tunes. All Volunteers will receive a t-shirt.

Description
South Jordan was settled in 1859 by Alexander and Catherine Lince Beckstead. Like many of the first settlers in the Salt Lake Valley, their first home was a cave dug out of the river bank. With picks and shovels, the Beckstead family dug and built the Beckstead Ditch, which still exists today from 12600 South to 10600 South. The ditch diverted water from the Jordan River to irrigate crops as early as June of 1859.
South Jordan was primarily a rural farming community when it became incorporated as a town in 1935. In 1960, the population was 1,354, and by 1970 the population had more than doubled to 2,942. The current population is estimated to be 70,691!
Today, South Jordan's most distinctive and recognizable landmark, visible from miles around, is the LDS Jordan River Temple overlooking the open space and protected green belts of the Jordan River Parkway. Though residential development in the Salt Lake Valley has mushroomed, South Jordan is committed to preserving its natural beauty.
