The Oliveira 5K / 1 Mile Race offers a variety of ways to become involved, from setting up the day's activities to cheering on participants and passing out water. There's an opportunity for everyone.
Below are available volunteer opportunities for the coming race.
Pre-Race
Packet pickup:
Assist in dispensing registration packets to participants, which includes verifying IDs and handing out T-shirts.
Race Day
Aid stations:
Assist with dispensing water and other beverages to participants as they pass the aid stations. Also call for assistance for ill or injured runners. Our OMS nurses (the best in the district) will be on hand for anyone needing medical assistance.
Spirit stations:
Entertain participants with encouragement and inspiration. Located at every mile, spirit stations can be cheering groups, bands of all kinds, sports teams and mascots — any individual or organization to generate noise and enthusiasm.
Course monitors:
Act as an observer throughout the course to ensure that participants do not stray from the course. Also act as traffic control on the smaller streets to ensure that automobile traffic does not interfere. BISD Police will control traffic at the larger intersections.
Finish Line Area:
Assist participants after they complete the race. This could include distributing medals, providing support as they recover or escorting them to
necessary medical facilities.
Post-race food distribution:
Help set up and serve participants after they cross the finish line.
Post-race disassembly:
Assist in the breakdown of the start and finish lines. Also assist in the recovery of cones throughout the course
