Individual Race Day VolRUNteers

If you’re not participating in the 10K race on Memorial Day please volunteer! We want you to be a part of the tradition! All of these available positions are along the course, and at the finish/expo area on race day, Memorial Day.

As an individual volunteer you will receive a VolRUNteer t-shirt, goodies, and a front row seat to the BOLDERBoulder. Course marshals will receive the Black Official 10K Course Marshal Pullover with their volunteer shirt.

• All VolRUNteers must be a minimum of 14 years old on race day.
• All VolRUNteer positions are approximately 4-6 hours long.
• Most positions start between 6:00 am and 10:00 am.

VolRUNteer With Your Group

You can help your non-profit group and help the race at the same time!

In exchange for your help on race day, Memorial Day, we will make a donation on your behalf to your organization for each registered volunteer that works. Each group has one or several specific jobs so your whole group can work together. You will receive a VolRUNteer t-shirt, goodies, and front row seat to the BOLDERBoulder 10K.

Complete the Group Application Form to get your group registered. Our team will then follow-up with registration instructions for your entire group.

• Minimum Group size is 8
• Please do not over-commit to your group size.  Most often, we can increase your group size later if needed.
• All VolRUNteers must be a minimum of 14 years old on race day.
• Each group must have a group leader aged 18 or older on race day.
• All VolRUNteer positions are approximately 4-6 hours long.

• Once your group has signed up and been approved you will receive a group-specific link to share with individuals to register with your group. 
• After the race, we will make a donation to your non-profit, or the non-profit of your choice, based on the number of people who pre-register and VolRUNteer on race day. Typically, we donate $25 per person with more difficult jobs receiving the higher rate.
