Why You Should Be A Volunteer

We will need over 700 volunteers (some on Friday and Saturday, lots more on Sunday) to conduct the 2008 event. No experience necessary, just a willingness to help out.

We appreciate our volunteers. Not only will you help put on the finest 10 mile race in the nation, you'll be getting something extra for your efforts...

• 2008 Credit Union Cherry Blossom 10 Mile Longsleeve Volunteer T-Shirt
• Opportunity to attend Expo and Clinic
• Transferable, Guaranteed Entry (at prevailing entry fee) to 2009 race.

So, if you don't get in before the race fills this year, or if you just aren't able to run this year, sign up to volunteer and guarantee your entry for next year. You may also have a spouse or friend(s) who might be able to volunteer. (The 2009 race entry guarantee for volunteers is transferable, so your friend or spouse could volunteer, and you can be guaranteed entry next year!)

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.

The Credit Union Cherry Blossom is approved for SSL hours for high school students in Montgomery County. Click Here for Details.

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.

OK, so you're ready to do it -- great! Sign up as directed below depending on if you are part of a sponsoring Credit Union or not:
