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

Volunteer at least 3 hours either at a running event/race or trail work day over the course of the year and you will be entered to win a pair of running shoes of your choice from Omer & Bob’s or Stateline Sports! Each person gets one entry, but volunteering more than 3 hours is always encouraged.

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

A brand new pair of running shoes of your choosing from Omer & Bob’s or Stateline Sports at the end of the year and maybe some other fun prizes for a handful of lucky volunteers.

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!

Upcoming Volunteer Opportunities

Choose from one of the events below, contact us for help finding other volunteer opportunities, or reach out to races you’re interested in volunteering at (they rarely say no when asked if they need volunteers).
