SDTC - Ways to Help

Volunteering: Ways to Help

Welcome, SDTC members! The San Diego Track Club is your club!

The activities of the San Diego Track Club are possible because of the volunteering of club members. Club-member volunteers put on races, organize track workouts, organize summer running groups, establish and maintain web sites, conduct marathon-training and half-marathon-training programs, and support each other in running and racing activities in the county.

Need some ideas about how you can get involved? Here are some ideas – ranging from smaller one-time jobs (volunteering at a water station) … to mentoring a new runner … to serving on the SDTC Board of Directors or being a Race Director.
