KC Marathon Aid Station Volutneers Needed

KC Marathon Aid Station Volunteers Needed!

Help us support all the runners at the KC marathon including your PB running buddies. They NEED you! PB is once again helping Caleb of Metro Walk and Run with an aid station at 18th and Campbell that will serve the 5K 2 mile, Half 12 mile and Full 25.3 mile. Many of us did this last year and it was so much fun.

There are two shift options so you can still get in your training run with PB in the morning before heading out. If you are running the half, you can also join us for the second shift. Several PB runners did that last year and it worked out great.

The shifts are October 15th 6:00 - 10:00 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. - 1:30/2:00 p.m.

If you can help, please register here so you can get a volunteer shirt. Also, please let me know which shift you are doing at kcrunning@hotmail.com so that I can inform Caleb.
