We need over 400 volunteers to conduct the Twilight
Runfest -- most of them on the evening of the race, but we also have
several jobs that need to be done at other times. No experience is
necessary, just a willingness to help out. Not only will you be
helping a good cause -- our charity beneficiaries and, of course,
the runners -- you'll also have a good time yourself. Just ask
anyone who has volunteered before. If you have additional questions
regarding being a volunteer, please contact our Volunteer
Coordinator,
Sue Dembo, at
301-540-1399 or
jacthom5@aol.com.

Already signed up? We have a special volunteers-only section of this
website designed just for our volunteers. It should have answers to
most of your questions, as well as telling you how to contact your
team captain or other race officials.

Why You
Should Be A Volunteer
By volunteering, you can help conduct one of the most popular
races in the region -- and certainly the most popular of the summer.
You will have an interesting, fun -- and important -- job, and
you'll meet and work with a great group of people, often fellow
members of the Montgomery County Road Runners Club -- a fun bunch if
there ever was one! We appreciate our volunteers -- and it shows.
Not only will you help put on one of the finest races in the region,
you'll be getting something extra for your efforts...
 | The special Twilighter Volunteer T-Shirt |
 | Food before the race -- yep, we feed you! |
 | Training for your job. |
 | Eligibility for the random prizes |
 | And, did we mention, a great time! |
So, if you aren't running this year -- or if you have friends or
family who can help out, sign up now. You'll be glad you did.
If you'd like some additional information, read on; if you're
ready to sign up now, just go right to our online
volunteer sign-up form.


Additional
Information for Volunteers
Here are a few additional things you should know before you sign
up to volunteer:
 | Don't volunteer if you aren't sure you will be able to be
there. No-shows really cause great difficulties and will not
be accepted in future years. |
 | Volunteers for race night (Saturday night,
July 16 ) will be given
preference of assignments -- that's when we need the most
people. |
 | Volunteers must be at least 14 years old. Parents should not
necessarily expect that children will be assigned to the
same location. |
 | You must be able to report on time and remain on the job
until relieved. |
About one week before the race you will receive a job
assignment, reporting instructions, and other information. You
will need to call your team chief to confirm that you will received
the assignment and that you will be there.

About one week before the race you should receive
your specific assignment via email. Didn't Get It? - If you haven't
received your assignment by July 16, first, check the Volunteers-Only section of this
