As a Course Marshal, your job includes directing runners to stay on course and maintaining a safe environment for runners by keeping cars and bikes off the course. You'll have a front-row seat (literally) of the race and plenty of opportunities to cheer! Volunteers are encouraged to bring a chair, snacks, sunscreen, etc., and anything else they think they would need to have a comfortable shift. Volunteers will receive exact locations within this area from the Grandma's Marathon Office in the weeks leading up to the race. Additional instructions on where to park, what location to report to, etc. Will be sent out prior to race day. Sign up online here.
