First of all - Thank You! The best thing we can offer our participants is a safe race and course marshals help deliver that. Along with 4 IMPD officers you will be positioned along the race course to keep runners on course and provide assistance as needed. With your help we are going to have a great race!

Here is what you need to know:

1.      Linked below is the safety plan. It's pretty simple. Give it a quick read before the race.

2.      Show up by 9:00am and check in at packet pickup to get your volunteer shirt. Make your way over to where our safety team will be assembling. (Look for all the people in bright yellow shirts just north of the finish line! There will be a small bus parked there)

3.      Our race safety director will review the plan with you at around 9:15.

4.      At 9:20am IMPD officers will arrive. After a quick check in everyone will board the bus to be dropped off at their spot on the course.

5.      By 9:50 everyone is in place and ready for a 10:00am race start!

6.      The last person in the race is called the “sweeper” They will be wearing a volunteer shirt and will let you know when they pass by. At that point you are free to walk back to St. Jude – See your map if you need directions! If the distance is longer than you care to walk call us and we give you a lift back.

7.      Check in with the race safety director when you are back and you are free to go! Thank you for your help in making our 5K a huge success!

All activities will take place in the east parking lot, near the St. Jude Youth Center.
