Volunteers Needed! When you register, please consider volunteering - this is a PTA led event so we are in need of volunteers! We are especially in need of parents who are able to help out from 8am - 12:00 on race day. We need help managing the race course, scoring the event, signing in volunteers and bake sale donations. Please contact Christopher Dean at chris.s.dean@gmail.com if you are able to help.
