Finish Line Medals

We need energetic people to hand out finisher medals to our runners as they cross the finish line! You may be asked to open and unwrap the finisher medals to lay them out on the tables and on medal racks. We advise you to bring your own water/snacks to keep you going during your shift. Dress comfortably and be prepared for any and all types of weather. You will be working outside for the entirety of your shift.
