A big CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS FOR OUR NRG ENERGY FIRECRACKER 5K Beginner Program! Yes, we are starting another beginner training session on April 28th for our next club sponsored race, the NRG Energy Firecracker 5K which will be held on July 1st.
As we request your support, I can honestly tell you what a rewarding experience volunteering has been for me as well as other club members. Our beginners are very appreciative of our time that we support them. Join us for the next session and see for yourself!
Think back to when you began running. If you did this program like I did, then you know how important it is to have the volunteers to help you along your running journey to completing your first 5K! Think of your Saturday runs and how much more enjoyable and easier they are for you knowing someone else is going to be there.
Can you spare 30-40 minutes? We will be meeting on Saturday mornings at Riverfront Park at 8:30am (we are starting 30 minutes later on saturday mornings for this training session to allow our members more time for their own personal training). We also meet Tuesday evenings at 6pm at Rotary Field.
As a member and volunteer our goal is to provide the beginners support during their runs. We are there to run beside them, get to know them, answer their questions or find an answer for them if we do not know. We show up regardless of the weather in order to help them succeed one training session at a time. They know that someone will always be there for them which is the most important thing for their success.
If you can volunteer for one or more training sessions please contact Dawn Emanuele at Beginners@GlastonburyRiverRunners.com and/or Jessica Crowley at Volunteer@GlastonburyRiverRunners.com.
Thank you so much for taking a little time out of your schedule to make a BIG impact!!!
