You Don't Have to Run to Be Involved... Be a Volunteer

"The greatest virtues are those which are most useful to other persons." - Aristotle

Not in the mood to run the Southwest Half Marathon, but still want to be a part of the action? Sign up to be a Race Volunteer!

It's not easy to throw a successful event like the First Midwest Southwest Half Marathon, and that's why we celebrate our hundreds of volunteers who help us make this event so much better. We have a feeling that, with your help, May 6, 20012, will be our best year yet!

The Volunteer Orientation is held at the Palos Heights Recreation Department, date and time to be announced. We will be honoring all of our volunteers with a delicious dinner and would love to see all of you there! On the morning of the race, as a volunteer, you will receive a complimentary t-shirt and coffee to make sure you're as alert and prepared as if you were running!
