Volunteer Challenge 2026
Have you ever avoided getting lost in a race because someone in a stylish traffic vest pointed you in the right direction? Have you ever had someone hand you a cup of electrolyte mix mid-stride and continue to smile brightly even though some of that sticky liquid spilled on their hand as you took it from them? Have you ever had a stranger put a medal around your neck and congratulate you? Have you ever reached an aid station 20 hours into a race and had a stranger hand you pickle juice and an otter pop and tell you you look great even though you know they were lying through their teeth out of kindness?
If you answered yes to any or all of the above, you have benefited from the generosity of volunteers in the running community! Knowing that running events do not happen without volunteers, UVRC is once again issuing a Volunteer Challenge in 2026 – now with a new format! Any UVRC member who volunteers at least 3 hours at a running event or trail work day will be entered to win a pair of running shoes of their choice from Omer and Bob’s or Stateline Sports at the end of the year! Each person gets one entry, though volunteering more than 3 hours is always encouraged. You can submit your hours by emailing volunteering@uppervalleyrunningclub.org. If you;ve never volunteered at a running event before, we think you’ll find it to be a fun and rewarding experience!
Save the Date 6/27 – Volunteers Needed for Mount Washington Road Race
UVRC has provided volunteers for the Mount Washington Road Race for years, and we are hoping to round up another crew of amazing humans this year. The race is on Saturday, June 27th. We are in charge of post-race parking, as drivers bring runners back down to the starting area at the base. It’s a pretty easy gig, and in exchange, volunteers get all the feel-good vibes the volunteering brings about, and UVRC gets four bypass entries into the race for anyone who wants to run but does not get in via the lottery.
RELATED: Save the Date for the 2nd Annual UVRC Campout
UVRC will be hosting a campout at Barnes Field at the Dolly Copp Campground, just a few short miles from the start of the Mount Washington Road Race, June 26th-28th. It’s a great place for MWRR volunteers and racers to hang for the weekend, as well as anyone else who wants to spend a summer weekend in the Whites with some running friends! More details to come.
