Volunteer Expectations
Here are a few additional things you should know before you sign up to volunteer:
- Don't volunteer if you aren't sure you will be able to be there. No-shows really cause great difficulties and will be barred from volunteering in future years.
- Confirmed runners, volunteer for Saturday! That way you can run the race on Sunday and still get a guaranteed entry for next year's race!
- Volunteers must be at least 14 years old. Parents should not expect that children will be assigned to the same location.
- You must be able to report on time and remain on the job for the duration. Volunteers who leave early without permission will not receive a guaranteed entry form.
- Check the volunteer website frequently. Volunteer jobs will open and close without warning.
- Dress comfortably and in layers. Race morning starts early and can be cold. Wear comfortable shoes and be prepared to walk in the grass and dirt.
- Leave all valuables (purses, backpacks etc) at home. We do not have the space or security to watch them during race weekend.
- Plan to take Metro all weekend long.
- Be prepared to HAVE FUN!!

Signing up to volunteer indicates to us that you are planning to be there race weekend. If you find you cannot attend, please notify the Volunteer Coordinator at marsha@cherryblossom.org as soon as possible.
After you sign up, you will receive a confirmation email. Sometime in late March you will receive a job assignment, reporting instructions, and other information.
