Volunteers are needed to direct runners to stay on course, maintain a safe environment for runners by keeping cars and bikes off the course, and cheer on the runners. Course marshals are usually stationed at intersections to help with spectator, cyclist, and traffic control. 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.

Finish Line- Green Team Grandma’s Marathon is proud to put on a sustainable event year after year that has a positive impact on our community. Green team volunteers are needed to monitor the recycling, compost, and trash locations to ensure waste is properly disposed of in the correct container. Information for sorting will be provided, so no previous experience is necessary. Being a green team volunteer is extremely rewarding as so many runners and spectators want to do the right thing and appreciate your help and guidance. These volunteers receive many smiles and thank you’s. If you would like to work a full day, please sign up for both shifts. Many Green Team Stations are inside the secure finish area that is only open to runners and volunteers. You will receive a finish line ribbon in your volunteer swag. You will need this to access the secure finish area. On race day, enter at the security gate next to the medical tent in the activity lot. A map will be sent out prior to race day.
