Metropolitan Volunteer Program

Run Houston! at University of Houston

Saturday, September 21, 2024

6:00 am - 11:00 am

Run Houston! Race Series will be hosting a 5K, 10K, and a Kids K here at the University of Houston!

Join in the excitement as a volunteer. All volunteers receive a free event shirt for volunteering!

The following are the job descriptions of Volunteers:

Registration – Volunteers will help with the process of participants checking in. They will check if the participant is registered by last name and if so then give them their race materials. Some volunteers will also assist with the process of new participants signing up the day of the race.

Post-race registration/food – Once registration is closed, the tents will be used for food primarily. Volunteers will help organize the food and monitor it while participants are finishing. Shirt exchanging will also be going on as well.

Course Marshal – Course marshals will be placed on the course and help direct the participants so they run the correct direction. Here we ask the volunteers to be as enthusiastic as possible, encouraging the runners to have a good time.

Water Station – Volunteers assigned to the water station will fill up cups of water and help distribute them to passing participants.

*Volunteers will more than likely work more than one job throughout the event.

Once you register you’ll receive a confirmation and reminder email prior to the event containing more information!
