Sports Council Seeks Half Marathon Volunteers

Date: January 11, 2020

The Augusta Sports Council is seeking volunteers for the 2021 Augusta University Half Marathon, 10K, & 5K event on Feb. 27.

Volunteers are primarily needed for the day of the race, though a few slots are open for the day before. 

Organizations or local groups may also “adopt” a mile on the half marathon, 10K or 5K course, if they can provide at least 10 volunteers to help out with water stations and 10 fans to cheer runners along their mile.

Volunteers are needed to help with a variety of tasks, including crow control, health screening, water stations, gear checks, and packet pick-up.

The race will begin at the Augusta Common. The wheelchair division will begin at 7:13 a.m., the half marathon at 7:15 a.m., and the 10K and 5K races will follow.Groups interested in volunteering should contact Michelle Naval at (706) 722-8326.
