TD Bank Beach to Beacon 10k Road Race

FINISH AREA SECURITY

General Responsibility: Volunteers are required for the Finish area to provide security and safety measures for the runners. 

Time Commitment: We meet at 7:00AM -7:30AM, Finish Area, Ft. Williams. We usually finish up between 10:00AM and 11:30AM Please note: parking may be available to our volunteers however it is very limited. If possible, car pooling is strongly recommended. Additionally, plan to arrive before 7AM. You may be dropped off or you may bike or walk in. The traffic tends to back up as people try to position themselves at the finish line. There is not a lot to do before the runners start to come through so bring your coffee, and enjoy the scenery and energy as we prepare for the finishers. Click here for details on roadclosings.
