Striders Volunteer Opportunities

Striders volunteering at a water stop for the 2024 Portland 10 Miler.

by Tom Farmer

Hello, Central Maine Striders! It's your new club volunteer coordinator, Tom Farmer. I'm still new to Maine, but I am not new to volunteering. I love the smell of volunteering in the morning; it smells like...free coffee and donuts.

I recently sent an email to members who've indicated they're interested in volunteer opportunities. If you did not get an email and are interested in learning more about club volunteer opportunities, please reach out so I can add you to future emails (email: [email protected] and/or phone: 502-767-4422).

Below is some information on upcoming volunteer opportunities. 

I'm looking forward to hearing from all of you, and thanks for your willingness to volunteer!

Portland 10 Miler - Sunday, April 27
This is also the day of the Moosehead Marathon, but I think we can still get the number of people requested to help out. Respond to me ([email protected]) with your information and willingness to commit

• Central Maine Striders Water Aid Station - Time and details forthcoming
  7 Volunteers Needed
• Check-in--They have also asked if 5 people would be willing to help with check-in, but be aware that starts at 5:30 a.m. in Portland. Totally understandable if it's not feasible, but if you are willing to help please let me know.

As of April we are still looking for three more volunteers.
