- Course Guide / Water Stations - Saturday (6/6/2020) 7:00am – 10:00am : We need groups of volunteers along the route to guide, encourage, and cheer for the racers! Some stations will also hand out water. Volunteers will be placed in groups, so feel free to sign up as a group and bring signs, noisemakers, musical instruments, etc. to keep the excitement and momentum going for these amazing racers!

- Race Crew Captain - Saturday (6/6/2020) 7:00am – 12:00pm: It takes a village to pull off a race! With so many volunteers and so many jobs, it can be challenging to manage. If you are a take-charge individual and love being part of a project from start to finish, we’ll find a leadership role for you! Duties include working closely with the GRACE Race Committee, communicating to your assigned group, ensuring all information is dispersed in a timely manner, and ensuring all members of your group show up at their assigned time/location.
