Aid Station Teams

Granger Community Church Aid Station Team

You must be 10 or older to volunteer for this task.

Minimum met, 12 volunteer spots remaining.

Details

Aid Station teams or "Hydration Heroes" as we like to say, serve a critical role - preparing countless cups of water and electrolytes to keep our beloved runners and walkers hydrated.

Teams are strongly encouraged to up their aid station game by adding silly or motivational signs, dressing up (think matching shirts, hats or themed attire…whatever you want), playing music, cheering, etc.

Each aid station team should have 10+ members, but if you have less than that, we can pair you up with another team. Don’t let small numbers stop you from participating. This would be great for group engagement and bonding.

Pre-Race

Large Group Bag Stuffing - CANCELLED (all packets are already stuffed!)

You must be 12 or older to volunteer for this task.

May 14, 2026

This volunteer task is full.

Details

***This session has been cancelled as all packets were stuffed on May 5th by a race sponsor/volunteer team.

When participants attend Packet Pickup on Friday, May 30, they will receive their shirt, bib, safety pins and fliers. This doesn’t magically happen. We need dedicated individuals and awesome small groups, to help us stuff a whopping 5,000+ participant bags!

Join us for a few evening hours, stuff some bags and receive a shirt and dinner on us.

Location

The time might be slightly adjusted as we get closer to race day.

Packet Pickup High Priority

You must be 12 or older to volunteer for this task.

May 29, 2026

Details

A first impression is a lasting impression! Put a smile on your face and help us distribute packets to a few thousand runners. There are two shifts to choose from, 11:30am-3:30pm & 3:00pm-7:00pm. Please consider the afternoon/evening shift as that’s the most challenging for us to fill.
In this role, you'll get to interact with our lovely and loyal Sunburst-ers. They’ll very much appreciate your help, kindness and enthusiasm and it’s a fun kick-off to race weekend!

Assist the race team with morning operations. These tasks may vary from distributing packets, providing water to participants, helping in the start line chute, answering questions (we’ll give you a guide to reference), handing out medals, helping with post-race activities and celebrations, leading a game for kids, cleaning up, etc.

***If your preferred volunteer task is handing out packets - you will likely need to arrive early, more like 5:30 am as runners start showing up early!

Course Marshal High Priority

You must be 18 or older to volunteer for this task.

At least 1 more volunteer needed.

Details

Want the undying gratitude of thousands of runners and walkers? This is the job for you! Play some fun music, wave, give high-fives and fist bumps, use our signage to point runners in the right direction, etc.

These are often challenging positions for us to fill, but they shouldn’t be…you’ll be inspired by all the dedicated runners and walkers that you have the pleasure of guiding. And you’ll love seeing them; they typically range in age from 6 to 86. It’s awesome!

If you're driving in with another marshal, please let us know in the notes so we don't split you up!

Location

Varies - we will work with you to place you in high volume areas on the course.
