Volunteering

Volunteers perform all club management assignments, race day tasks, marathon training program jobs and various other activities. It is not just the Board of Directors, the Race Directors or the Coaches who are responsible for making the SDTC a success; it is all of us in the San Diego Track Club.

The club needs race directors, race workers, marathon training program aid station workers and people willing to serve in the leadership of the club. SDTC members are encouraged to do their part to keep our events highly rated and fees very low. If you are new to the club or a member of long standing, why not get to know other track club members by working an aid station or serving as a race course marshal?  Ready for a challenge?  How about assisting a race director or helping with the race closest to your home?  If you benefit from the discounts that area stores give SDTC  members, how about acknowledge those special deals by volunteering once a year?

Need some ideas about how to get involved?  Click here for some ideas.

The SDTC Board of Directors has established a club policy for volunteers: A volunteer must be aged 18 years and up to be accepted as a volunteer at SDTC (including marathon training program) events. 

Below is an ongoing list of upcoming events and volunteer needs.  SDTC members, if you can volunteer for any of the events listed below, please email the Volunteer Contact.  Thank you.    ** SDTC members who volunteered at a 2008 SDTC event -- Thank You!! **
