GLOUCESTER, Mass. (August 3, 2011)
ÛÓ Volunteers are needed for the Run Gloucester! 7-Mile Road Race,
set for Sunday, August 21 on scenic Cape Ann.
“We need volunteers to help out with
registration, water stations, parking, course monitoring, and various other
assignments,” said Diane Anderson, volunteer coordinator for the race.
Volunteers can sign up online at the race
website by going to the volunteer page at www.rungloucester.com/volunteer.
Race officials say all are welcome, no previous experience is necessary and
that volunteering is best when it’s done with friends and family.
“We also need volunteers to help us get
the word to runners throughout the region out about this 2nd-year
race here in Gloucester,” she added.
With five miles of ocean views, Run
Gloucester! is an excellent way to visit and see the history and seascapes of
historic Cape Ann. This is the second year for the race, which was created by
Dave McGillivray of DMSE Sports, Inc., who also serves as race director of the
BAA Boston Marathon and the popular TD Bank Beach to Beacon 10K in Maine.
