JTC RUNNING is a Road/ Cross Country Running and Track Club that is operated by Volunteers; we depend on our club members to periodically pitch in and help our few events per year to run well and be a success for all attending.
The hard jobs are done; 1st Place Sports stages our running events – they take care of setting up the start and finish areas, the timing system, directing the run and supplying the refreshment – both food and drinks. Club member responsibilities include handling day of run registration, working the refreshment tables, collecting of timing chips from finishers; the jobs are easy in most cases, usually fun, and occasionally challenging. They also allow members an opportunity to cultivate friendships other members. Contact Lamar at 904-388-7860 to sign up.
If you want a real challenge to test your fortitude and get a behind the scenes look at the staging of a big race, look no further. JTCRUNNING hosts the U.S. 15k National Championship Gate River Run every March right here in Jacksonville and would love to give volunteers a look at the work that goes into hosting 20,000 runners and accompanying guests. Contact doug@1 stplacesports.com for details.
As if these motives aren’t enough, we here at JTC RUNNING also offer a Volunteer Rewards Program (VRP). Working those job described above can get you movie tickets, dinners, home supplies, and even a kayak excursion. You don’t have to sign up (for the VRP), just volunteer through Lamar or Doug (Gate River Run only) and points automatically accrue. Check out the links below for more details:
