Volunteering
As part of a running community, we are committed to giving back. We offer a variety of opportunities throughout the year including pacing at CBHM and CHaD Half, manning water stations at the Mount Washington Road Race, coaching our C25K program, and more!
Volunteer Challenge
To encourage our members to give back, we host a yearly volunteer challenge where members have the chance to win super fun prizes for volunteering at local running events.
How it works
For every hour of volunteer service either at a running event/race or trail work, you will get one ticket in the year-end raffle for a chance to win one of the amazing prizes. The more hours you volunteer, the better your chance of winning, but even one hour of volunteer work will get you in the drawing!
Eligibility
Any volunteer work at a running event/race or trail work by a UVRC member during the calendar year is eligible for the challenge.
Prizes
Every UVRC member who volunteers for at least one hour during the year automatically earns a piece of UVRC swag.
Additionally, there is a year-end raffle with a grand prize of a new pair of running shoes of your choice from Omer and Bob’s or Stateline Sports! (And possibly some other sweet prizes as well!)
Participation
Each time you volunteer at an event, email us at volunteering@uppervalleyrunningclub.org with the subject line “UVRC Volunteer Challenge”. Let us know the number of hours and at what event you volunteered. We’ll keep track of your hours for you until the big drawing at the end of the year!
Get Involved
Have an idea for an event at which the UVRC could volunteer, want to help organize volunteer opportunities (existing or new!) for UVRC members, or want to find out more about volunteering as part of the UVRC? Let us know!
