December 7, 2024 @ 8:45 am - 10:30 am
MountainTrue is the non-profit beneficiary for Kick It Event Management’s Wicked Spooky 5k which was rescheduled to Saturday, December 7th after Hurricane Helene! How it works: we raise money for our work in exchange for providing volunteers for the event. Any funds raised will support MountainTrue, including the hurricane recovery work we are doing in the community.
Volunteers will receive a drink ticket for a beer or a n/a beverage after their shift.
Volunteer Shifts Needed:
8:45AM-10:30AM: Course Marshal (10 volunteers) These volunteers will pick up their safety vests and/or STOP/SLOW signs and then head to their designated position on the course. The sweep vehicle will pick up their items after the last runner and relieve them.
8:45AM-10:30AM: Aid Station (4 volunteers) These volunteers will meet at the aid station location and their safety gear will be there. We will have aid station table, cooler jug, water, trash, cups, gloves, hand sanitizer, and instructions there. The sweep vehicle will pick up everything and let them know the last runner has passed.
If your desired shift is full: please consider taking an open shift or signing up to be a back-up volunteer (in the event that someone calls out sick, etc. we will need a list of folks we can call).
AGE RESTRICTIONS: Anyone under the age of 18 needs to be with a parent or guardian for the entire event.
For planning purposes, the race coordinators have asked for volunteer sign-ups at least two weeks in advance of the race. Please register by November 20th.
**Some exceptions may be made. If you wish to register after November 20th, please contact amy@mountaintrue.org
