Volunteer for the Ramblin’ Rose Half Marathon!

We’re really excited to officially be charitable partners of the Ramblin’ Rose Half Marathon which will be run here in Durham on Sunday, October 16th.  You can read the official announcement from Endurance Magazine.   What does it mean?  It means that we need our amazing supporters to sign-up as volunteers.  Here’s all the important info:

Who:   Anyone over 18 can volunteer - sign up as an individual or with friends.
What:   Endurance Magazine will host their first Ramblin’ Rose Women’s Half Marathon in Durham.  They expect to have thousands of runners and will need 100’s of volunteers.  The Emily K Center is recruiting volunteers to work as Course Monitors during the race.  Course Monitors are the “GPS” for the course - providing safety, encouragement, and direction to the runners and spectators.
When:  Sunday October 16th, 6:30AM - 10:30AM
Where:  The race starts at the American Tobacco Campus and runs throughout Durham.  Course Monitors will be stationed in teams along the course.
Why: Endurance Magazine will make a donation to the Emily K Center for every volunteer who works on our behalf.  This is also a huge event and a great opportunity for us to spread the word about the Emily K Center.  As an added bonus, anyone that volunteers on our behalf can also pick up an Emily K Center hat to wear on race-day!
How:  Check your calendar and make sure you can commit to volunteering on October 16th.  Follow this link to register as a volunteer.  On the first page choose “Course Monitor” under “Specific Event”.  On the second page be sure to choose “Emily K Center” as the organization you are volunteering on behalf of.  Once you are registered you will be directly contacted by Endurance with all the race-day details.  Please try to register before September 15th.

This will be a fun event and a great way to help the Emily K Center.  We hope to see you out on the course!
