Its not too early for volunteer for Seaside Half

Fellow runners will hit the ground on the beautiful, scenic course along the famous Boardwalk & Bay area through Seaside Park. Weunteer are looking forward to seeing you all there but first, we have to prepare and as your volunteer coordinator this year I am asking you to be apart of this yearly event by donating your time to volunteer in areas that are needed. I have created a volunteer sign up sheet through sign up genius and I am excited to work with all of you! Sign up, contact me & Let’s do this! Happy Running!! Click Here to Register

The neighborhood was incredibly accommodating. It's so rewarding to give back—cheering on tired or overheated runners and offering encouragement was met with abundant gratitude. I also enjoyed watching the leaders come through. Well done, Sarah! [...]
