This year, the event called the “Colorful Run 4 the Cure”, will take place on the evening of Friday, September 16, 2016 and will include multiple color zones where runners get covered head to toe in colored corn starch powder.

DAY OF THE EVENT VOLUNTEER CATEGORIES:

GRAFFITI SQUAD – So you think you have what it takes to throw color in one of our four Color Zones and be a part of the Graffiti Squad? We’ll see about that! Do you have the desire to donate your time, energy, and special powers to the noble cause of drenching every Graffiti Runner you encounter with as much color as possible? Do you have the skill to apply said color strictly below the neck of our Graffiti Runners, ensuring only minimal color hits their precious faces? Are you prepared to be covered yourself in beautiful color (because the Graffiti Squad is no place for chromophobes)? Did you stand up and scream “YES!” to every one of these questions? If so, there just might be a place on the Graffiti Squad for you. GRAFFITI SQUAD ASSEMBLE!

Hours – Usually, no later than 5:30pm -8:00pm

H20 SQUAD – Yes, our colorful participants will be running and therefore will also be thirsty. If you want to be the most desired volunteer out on the course then the H20 SQUAD is for you. It will be up to our H20 squad to keep the color craziness moving and hydrated by distributing water to runners as they pass by. Please keep in mind you will also be responsible for clean up of the water bottles in your section.

Hours – Usually, no later than 5:30pm -8:00pm

REGISTRATION/CHECK-IN – You Shall Not Pass! That is right, no one will be admitted to run the Graffiti Run the day of the event without coming to see YOU or your team! Here, you will be responsible for collecting waivers, checking ID’s, checking for completion of registration, administrating bibs/shirts & delegating any hard questions to the race director present in your area. Sounds hard, but really isn’t!

Hours – Usually, no later than 5:30pm -8:00pm

STORE/COLOR PACK – This group will be responsible for distributing the Graffiti Run Gear and Graffiti Packs to participants at the end of the race!

Hours – Usually, no later than 5:30pm -8:00pm
