WHY SHOULD YOU VOLUNTEER?
We will need hundreds of volunteers (some on Friday the 17th and Saturday the 18th and a lot on Sunday the 19th) to conduct our inaugural Woodrow Wilson Bridge Half Marathon, beginning at Mount Vernon and ending at National Harbor. No experience necessary, just a willingness to help out and a commitment to showing up.
We appreciate our volunteers. Be a part of something huge and energizing, guaranteed to be a staple on the East Coast racing schedule. We couldn’t pull off such a phenomenal event without volunteers.
And you won’t go away empty-handed. On top of the great satisfaction you will receive from helping others and having fun doing it, you'll be getting something extra for your efforts:
- 2010 official Woodrow Wilson Bridge Half Marathon Volunteer T-Shirt;
- Guaranteed entry into the 2011 race;
- Community service credit, if needed
