HELP! We Need You! & Get a free Glass City Marathon Shirt too!
There is no better way to give back to your community and have fun doing it than by becoming a Glass City volunteer! It is only through the efforts of hundreds of volunteers that the Glass City Marathon happens. Enjoy the satisfaction of helping to promote healthy living and to aid in raising funds for local charities. Every volunteer receives a FREE Glass City Marathon shirt, and an invitation to a FREE Volunteer Celebration Party prior to the event. There are volunteer opportunities in the weeks leading up to the event, on the day of the expo and on race day with most volunteer activities only requiring a commitment of 6 hours or less. Help us to continue the long tradition of the Glass City Marathon by volunteering. Please send an email with your name, telephone number, shirt size and when you can be available to volunteers@glasscitymarathon.org.
Volunteer Positions
It takes over 500 volunteers to orchestrate this event. There are volunteer positions for every type of person - whether you want to be at the center of the competition or behind the scenes. It’s also a great way for families, clubs, and civic groups to participate in a great community event. For students looking to earn community service hours, volunteering earns both hours and a free shirt! Below are the many categories of volunteer help needed.
