Volunteers

We couldn’t host the Mount Marathon Race without volunteers! It’s a fun way to give back to the race and help it succeed — plus you get a sweet volunteer t-shirt and our everlasting gratitude!

Each year, we recruit hundreds of volunteers for a variety of positions in town and on the mountain. For 2023, the majority of duties will be on the evening of Sunday, July 3 and all day on Monday, July 4.

As the race approaches, a SignUp Genius link will be posted on this page for volunteers to view and sign up for all sorts of positions.

HERE IS THE VOLUNTEER SIGNUP LINK!
