Now is the time to volunteer to help at the 2011 Boston Marathon, which runs on Apr 18, 2011! The deadline for volunteering is Feb 11, 2011. We are volunteering at the mile 17 Power Gel station again this year and, if we get enough volunteers, we could have a group at the starting line too. Friends and neighbors can volunteer with us as long as they are at least 18 yrs old. Please make sure that everyone who volunteers sends me their confirmation number.
Here are the details on how to sign up and be part of the group. If you have any questions, email me.
1) http://www.baa.org/races/boston-marathon/event-information/volunteering.aspx
and choose the Volunteering > Volunteering Registration link.
2) Enter your volunteer ID along with your zip code OR if you’ve never
volunteered before choose “new”
3) Complete biographical information. Be sure to indicate that you are
a member of the Wicked Running Club and choose GENERAL the the
capacity in which you are volunteering. Enter NEXT.
4) Choose “Join: I want to join an existing Volunteer Group.”

Password (PIN).
6) You do not need to enter anything in the “ADDITIONAL INFORMATION”
section.
7) Accept the terms in the “VOLUNTEER’S AGREEMENT, WAIVER, RELEASE AND
