Route Volunteer High Priority

You must be 18 or older to volunteer for this task.

December 7, 2024

Details

Route volunteers (aka The Cheer Committee) are placed along the race route to give direction and encouragement to race participants. We encourage volunteers to come dressed in fun Christmas attire, Santa hats, fun socks, etc. Please bring noise makers, sing or play Christmas music, and cheer on the runners and walkers in a fun way! This is a perfect way to earn 2-3 community service hours!

The 5K route starts and ends near Smothers Parks, downtown Owensboro. Volunteers need to arrive at the round fountain area at 7:45 am. We will briefly speak to volunteers about Care Net, explain their purpose on the route, and assign route placement. We expect the event to end by 10:00 am.
