Tacoma City Marathon

A chance to help out the business district during the Tacoma City Marathon:

Calling on all Business District members and friends to join in the fun of providing water and encouragement for the marathon runners as they pass through our neighborhood! This is a great way to promote our Business District by hanging a Banner and inviting the runners back.

A couple of hours Saturday morning will get you excited and ready for your day! We would like to have 8 to 10 volunteers signed up and we all get really cool jackets for helping out! Please read the following e-mail from our coordinator, Rob Hester, for date, time and location. (May 10th, Saturday; 7:00am; in front of the Ruston School on Shirley Street).

Let me know if you can help so I can order our jackets. Thank you so much in advance!

Hi Beth,

A team will be setting out water station supplies at all the specified locations starting at 5 a.m. on race morning, Saturday, May 10th. You will have 2 tables, a couple of chairs, water, cups, garbage bags, gloves, and a rake to help clean up all the paper cups. We will have a detailed information packet to help you set-up and tear down your station, available when you pick up the jackets for your team. A team of volunteers will come by and pick everything up after the last runners have passed your station.

Your station will be located around mile 9.9 on N. Shirley St.... Your team will need to be there by 7:20 a.m. to begin getting things set-up and to help fill water cups before the runners arrive, beginning around 8 a.m. until approximately 9:10 a.m. I have attached a timeline to help you figure out when runners will be arriving after each start.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Rob Hester
