Volunteer

Be behind the scenes and the first to see how the race weekend begins! This is the first stop for runners as they prepare to run in the Panama City Beach Marathon as they pick up their race packet and prepare for their 26.2 mile, 13.1 mile, or 5K trek along the World’s Most Beautiful Beaches! Duties include organizing/handing out shirts, assisting runners with finding their bib number, greeting participants with smiles, answering questions/providing race information. Position requires some light lifting up to 30 lbs.

Great role for groups! This key role is not just about providing hydration support — but moral support and excitement! As runners travel the course, they may get fatigued; but with your smiling face and cheering attitude, you will revive them! Paint your faces, wear silly clothes — wear your team colors, make banners and posters with silly sayings. Duties include setting up the station, filling and stacking cups with water and Gatorade, restocking cups throughout the course of the morning, handing beverages to runners as they come by, cleaning up the area when the last runner passes ; acting crazy, screaming, cheering, laughing — anything to bring out a smile on our runners faces! Standing for long periods of time is required — jumping with excitement is encouraged!

Does your volunteer organization have 5–10 focused, yet, energized individuals who can fill nearly 1,500 race swag bags with all sorts of goodies? This job is perfect for students seeking volunteer hours too!
