Mt. Washington Road Race
By: Rebecca Stanfield McCown
Hi Club,
It is that time of year again for us all to decide if we want to throw our hats in the ring to run up the rockpile! This year's race returns to regular format with one race on Saturday June 18th.
The Club has agreed to provide 8 volunteers in exchange for 8 by-pass numbers. For this year, the Club will be responsible for assisting in parking cars on Saturday for the post-race activities. That means volunteers cannot be runners or drivers.
Are you potentially interested in running and like the idea of maybe having a backup should you not get into the lottery? Do you want to spend a beautiful afternoon in the mountains and give back to the running community? If you find yourself nodding your head, here's what you do:
Let me know what you plan on doing:
- Are you going to enter the lottery but also want to be put on the bypass list if you don't get in? If so, you are committing to providing a volunteer (who is not you since you would be running) for Saturday June 18th
- Do you just want to volunteer? You are a truly amazing human that keeps this club going!
- Are you already set with an invitational/charity entry but still have a family/friend that would like to volunteer?
- It is helpful to know in general all club members that are running so let me know if you plan to be there but are kind of a lonewolf.
Volunteering is a lot of fun, the race company has a great crew that are fun to work with, and there isn't much better than spending a few hours outside in the mountains.
I hope to see you there race weekend. Included is a photo of our volunteers from last year.
Cheers to the Rockpile,
Rebecca
