1WHERE WILL I PARK?
All volunteer parking will be at Tropicana Field. You will receive an email prior to your volunteer shift with specific information regarding the Tropicana Field Parking Lot that will serve as our designated Volunteer Parking Area.
2CAN I BRING MY FRIEND/CHILD/PET WITH ME WHEN I VOLUNTEER?
Unfortunately, no. Only registered volunteers will be allowed on-site due to safety and security concerns for the event. However, if you have a friend or child over the age of 16 (subject to the age restrictions on certain volunteer duties) that is interested in helping, please have them register as a volunteer!
We do, however, ask that young children sit this event out. If your child is under 16, but is able and willing to complete a volunteer task with you, it is required that you please email volunteer@skyway10K.com for approval.
We love dogs and other pets, but require that you leave them at home during your volunteer shift.
3IF I AM RACING, CAN I ALSO VOLUNTEER?
Yes! You can participate in pre-event volunteer opportunities such as Packet Pick-Up at the Race Expo on the day before the Race. However, you cannot volunteer on the day of the race as all volunteer shifts on the day of the event will overlap with the actual race event.
4ARE GROUPS WELCOME?
Volunteer groups are encouraged! If you have a team, club, or organization that would like to volunteer, please contact volunteer@skyway10K.com.
5WHAT DO I BRING WITH ME WHEN I VOLUNTEER?
Please check the weather in advance and plan accordingly. Please make sure that you bring water, comfortable shoes, snacks, sunscreen, and anything else you may need during your shift.
6HOW DO I PREPARE FOR MY VOLUNTEER JOB?
Please make sure to read ALL emails regarding your volunteer duties and to follow up with any questions from the Volunteer Director. It is imperative that you know where you are supposed to be and when, that you allow for plenty of time to arrive prior to the start of your shift (including coffee, restroom, parking, and traffic), and that you arrive well-rested and enthusiastic to support these race participants and a wonderful cause!
7WHAT DO I DO WHEN I SHOW UP TO VOLUNTEER?
You must check in at the Volunteer Tent (unless otherwise instructed) at the Tropicana Field Parking Lot, where the Race Expo is held. The Volunteer Director will provide you with your volunteer T-shirt, and your Zone Captain will escort you to your volunteer location and will provide you with any instructions necessary to complete your volunteer duties.
8WHAT DO I GET FOR VOLUNTEERING?
Volunteers will receive not only a volunteer T-shirt, but also the opportunity to support thousands of runners across an iconic bridge with a front row seat to one of the most breathtaking settings and unique 10K races in the country, all while being an integral part of an event where 100% of all race proceeds goes to fund projects that support the families of our military service men and women.
9CAN I VOLUNTEER FOR MORE THAN ONE TASK?
Absolutely, and we certainly appreciate your enthusiasm! You are more than welcome to volunteer for both pre-event and day-of-race positions if you like.
10WHERE AND WHEN WILL I BE VOLUNTEERING?
The Skyway 10K Bridge Run requires more than 500 volunteers in a variety of different dates, time, locations, and responsibilities. As a result, there is no shortage of opportunities available for enthusiastic and supportive volunteers. When registering, please make sure you read the descriptions fully and note the time of each shift. We will be communicating with volunteers in February as a reminder of your commitment and to provide you with additional details regarding your expectations and duties for your volunteer shift(s).
11HOW DO I REGISTER TO VOLUNTEER?
All volunteer registration will be online. Email volunteer@skyway10K.com to inquire about group volunteer needs or personal volunteer opportunities.
