VOLUNTEERS NEEDED: ARX Half Marathon

by | Aug 2, 2017 | ,

Connect Buncombe is looking for a team of 11 volunteers to help stage the Asheville Running Experience half marathon on Saturday, September 23, 2017.

The race begins downtown at 7:30 am, goes down Kimberly and past Beaver Lake and UNCA, and then runs along the Reed Creek Greenway and Broadway, back towards downtown for the finish.

Volunteers will be needed to direct runners at turns and aid at street crossing  by holding waiting cars until it is safe to proceed. They will need to be positioned along the Greenway and Broadway from 8:00 – 10:30 am.

To help Connect Buncombe with this effort please Contact Paul Muller at [email protected] or 828-712- 8759 or for any questions you may have.
