In our on going efforts to be close with the BAA (and someday qualify to get club numbers for the Boston Marathon), we are gathering a group to volunteer for the BAA Half Marathon on Sunday, October 10, 2010.
We need volunteers to sign up sooner rather than later so the BAA can count on us. If there are any questions please email John Mahoney.
The BAA has asked us to be their “Course Monitors.” The description for this job is:
Course Monitors
Team Captain: Josh Nemzer
Check-in Time: 6:30 a.m. – Noon
Course Monitors will be relied upon to provide the runners with both direction, as well as safety along the course. Course Monitors will meet at Playstead Park and be dispatched from there via bus. They should remain at their location until picked up again by bus.
I hope you will join us to help with this event. Feel free to ask your friends and family if they want to join us too. We will be happy to include them.
Here are the instructions for the BAA online volunteering – be sure to ask me if you have any questions. (If you do volunteer, be sure to send me your “online application confirmation number!”)
1)
Go to:
http://www.baa.org/Volunteering/HalfVolunteer.asp
2)
Select the “APPLY ONLINE” link.
3)
If you have volunteered for the BAA in the past, enter your volunteer ID. If you do not remember your ID, there is a link to have the BAA find it for you.
If you have not volunteered with the BAA before, you will have to enter your contact information.
Whatever you do, get your info entered.
4)
At the “Volunteer Registration” page, select
“Join: I want to join an existing Volunteer Group.”
5)
From the drop down menu, select the group: Wicked Running Club
The password is: go_wicked
6)
I suspect most of you will have no special requests at the “ADDITIONAL INFORMATION” page and can just click “next.”
7)
Check the box to acknowlwdge that you accept the terms in the “VOLUNTEER’S AGREEMENT, WAIVER, RELEASE AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT” and click “next” again.
Review your “PERSONAL INFORMATION” entries. If there are errors, click the “modify entries” link. Otherwise click the “submit as shown” link.
9)
You should soon receive an email from the BAA that gives you your “Volunteer Application Confirmation.” Please either forward this email to me or send me your “online application confirmation number.” I will need this to keep track of who is volunteering in our group and to coordinate race day efforts.
