Solstice Run - Request for Volunteers

Solstice Run Request for Volunteers

The longest day of the year brings people together to celebrate the beauty of life and the value of community. Since 2016, the community of Millbrook has invited people to join Ulnooweg for their annual 5k Run, 10k Run, 2k Kid’s Run, and a post-run Summer Solstice Breakfast Social. This year’s run is also part of the 2022 Run Nova Scotia Road Race Series, allowing runners to add to their province-wide point total for the year. 

We need volunteers like you!

With so many start times and race routes, this is a complex event! Volunteers will help us run the registration, direct runner traffic, coordinate groups for the three start times, and supply water to runners..  

If you’re already a runner, one of the best reasons to volunteer is simply to give back to the community that provides you with so much joy. During a race if you’ve ever been thirsty, lost, or just needed a pick me up, then you already know the importance of marshals. But in the midst of running it’s all too easy to forget these people often provide this support to you for free. Turn the tables and volunteer for an event, and as well as giving back to the running community you might just be surprised at how good marshaling makes you feel.

Volunteering is a great way to participate in this much-loved yearly event. Marshalling provides all the same feel good factors that race day provides, without having to do anything but cheer! (And shepherd tired runners).

As a mission-critical volunteer, aside from making sure the runners’ day goes smoothly, you’ll get to participate in the festivities, grab a free tshirt, enjoy a morning outdoors, and relax with a free breakfast while chatting with your friends and neighbours. 

Register now to cheer your community onto victory, and help us run this event smoothly!
