NOTICE to Tuscaloosa Track Club Runners –

We are asking each TTC member to volunteer for two Grand Prix races. There are many opportunities to volunteer.

• We need two volunteers to help set up the finish line. Richard Carroll and Ed Freeman know how to do this and one of them will always be there, but they need help to set up flags, orange cones, and the FINISH sign. These volunteers can still run in the race. Report to Mark or Ed at the TTC white van at least one hour before the race starts.
  
  
• The Finish Line needs four volunteers:
  1. 1) a clock/timer manager,
  2. 2) a card hander
  3. 3) a person guider;
  4. 4) a table manager.
     
     The Finish Line volunteers may not run in the race. I will try and place nonrunners in these positions (injured TTC members and TTC nonrunners who are usually spouses of runners). Report to the Finish Line at least 30 minutes prior to the race starting so that you can practice! All of the jobs are easy, you just need to practice a little and feel comfortable. (TTC Runners take an extra note: ask your spouses if they would like to get involved. We need them! They should have a fun time.)
     
     
• Volunteer on Call: Other volunteer positions that TTC may need are the people who for various activities, e. g. stand at the one-mile, two-mile, three-mile marks to shout split times. Sometimes Race Directors organizing the race can not find their own volunteers and rely on the Track Club for help. So, you may sign up with me to be a “volunteer on call” for the race. If you are not needed, you may run in the race. These volunteers will check in with the Race Directors at the registration desk, at least 45 minutes prior to the race starting. Many times, you will find out you are not needed the morning of the race. In this case, you may run in the race and your volunteer race will still count!

Race volunteers are extremely important people and are very much appreciated by the runners. Without the volunteers, the race is not successful.

If you would like to volunteer, please email us at info@tuscaloosatrackclub.com.
