Volunteer  

The safety of our runners and the success of the event depend upon volunteers.  Volunteering out on the course is also a great way to see and cheer on the runners.  As a thank you, all volunteers will receive a complimentary long sleeve Sport-Tek t-shirt and a cup of coffee to help wake you up thanks to Petty & Dragstrem Orthodontics.  Click HERE to volunteer.  We greatly appreciate your time commitment!

If every person in this room made it a rule that wherever you are, whenever you can, you will try to act a little kinder than is necessary – the world really would be a better place.  And if you do this, if you act just a little kinder than is necessary, someone else, somewhere, someday, may recognize in you, in every single one of you, the face of God.
