It takes literally hundreds of volunteers to make our event go smoothly. We welcome anyone interested in volunteering to call or email us to get involved! The sooner you volunteer, the better... If volunteers sign up early, it allows us to find out what areas need more coverage and what areas are fully staffed. When you contact us, please let us know the area in which you prefer to volunteer. If you have no preference, we'll be glad to call or email you back the week before the event with your assignment. Here are the assignments for which we are still recruiting volunteers for our 2009 events.
If you are interested in volunteering for these positions, click here to send us an email.
Your group or company would organize and distribute water, replacement fluids and other assistance at a specific course location.
Assist with a variety of activities around the start/finish area including medallion distribution, chip removal, and general help as needed.
Assist with handing out numbers, T-shirts, and registering runners.
Approximately 12-15 volunteers that assist Dallas Police to direct traffic and parking around the American Airlines Center beginning at 6:00 a.m., and then help with crowd control at the start line immediately before the race.
Approximately 10-12 volunteers that collect clothing bags prior to the race start and disperse as participants return. Begins at 7:00 a.m. and ends at 12:00 p.m., although the number of volunteers needed begins dwindling after 11:00 noon.
To place cones along the race course beginning at 6:30 a.m. and retrieve them up after the last participants beginning at 9:00 a.m. (a driver, and a small team people to do the actual work.)
Encourage and direct participants at every turn along the course. Like the Split Timers, the course guides end their respective shifts based on an 18 minute per mile pace along the course.
